Clinique Chubby Plump & Shine Liquid Lip Plumping Gloss

Not to be confused with.... your usual Chubby Lipshine! So popular has the 'Chubby' range become that it's become an entire sub-category of Clinique in its own right – and now there's an actual gloss to join the line-up, masquerading as a chunky lip pencil.

But it's glossier than that. Twist the end and the surprisingly cooling gloss appears from a nozzle in the tip. It's high-shine but non-sticky (ticks both our boxes), really lip-quenching, and stays put for longer than many glosses we've tried over the years. Make that many, many years.

You can check out swatches of the eight shades on-line, but FYI our favourite is Powerhouse Punch, a rich – but see-thru – cherry red.

As disguise jobs go, Clinique Chubby Plump & Shine Liquid Lip Plumping Gloss is pretty impressive. And as lip glosses go, not bad either.
