COUP DE COEUR : CHUBBY FOUNDATION STICKS BY CLINIQUE

IMG_7560

I know from experience that someone that is absolutely sure to have found THE ideal foundation is very difficult to surprise. Not so long ago it was just impossible to have a foundation-oriented talk with me, as I always redirected it to my favorite BB cream. But while BB creams are ideal to homogenize an already healthy looking face, when it comes to covering flaws they can found themselves not being “enough”. And you know by yourself that there are mornings when you wake up (after a long cocktail night/ after a stressful exam week) and shit just happened. Bye bye flawless complexion, hello … well hello what if the only thing you have at your place is a tube of BB cream?
I recently got to test Clinique’s new Chubby in the nude Foundation Sticks, and totally fell for their cute and practical packaging, creamy formula and excellent coverage. I like the way it is buildable from light to full coverage without looking or feeling unnatural. And now basic question – why do I have two different tones of the same Chubby Stick? Am I waiting til my face got a bit tanned to use the darker shade? Not really. I have two different shades because I found these new Clinique’s products just ideal for contouring. Ok, if contouring was a game I would be a total loser because knowing the technique from youtube tutorials I’m totally incapable of reproducing it with my products at home (and god knows that I do not lack of products) – but I found the perfect ally in those Chubby Sticks to make contouring so simple! Thus, I use my “Intense Ivory” for regular face coverage, and the “Voluptuous Vanilla” to create the illusion of depth along jawline and other areas.

And here is the best part: in collaboration with Clinique I’m running a giveaway in order to send free sets of these Chubby in the Nude Foundation Sticks (both “Intense Ivory” and “Voluptuous Vanilla” shades) to five of you girls! To enter the competition all you have to do is filling the form below with your email address, first name and last name and I’ll pick the lucky winners on the 11th May!

The giveaway is now closed – thank you to everyone for participation!
