***GIVEAWAY***

Thanks to you guys I've just managed to reach an amazing 300 followers on bloglovin, yeah! I started my blog in September last year and although it's taken me a little while to get the hang of things I now absolutely love blogging, it's such a great community to belong to. I've had so many lovely comments and encouragement, it's so very much apprecited. As a BIG BIG THANK YOU I've decided to *GIVEAWAY* three of my favourites, reviewed earlier this year, I hope you like them as much as I do!

Firstly there's the Yankee Candles Votive Happiness box containing three new 'Fruit-i-licious' fragrances and a Margarita Time votive. You can see the full review here. These are only available online at the moment and should reach the shops at the beginning of April.

One of the best lip products I've reviewed so far this year is the Revlon Colorburst lacquer balm, it came top in my comparison with two other popular brands so I thought it would make a good pressie to you. To see the full review just look here.

Finally, I thought it would be a good idea to include this pretty Daisy necklace from Accessorize, it's just right with the summer fast approaching and you can check out the featured post here.

It would be so great to hear which are your favourite posts to date? 

Again, thank you so much for supporting my blog, it really really is appreciated 

BEST OF LUCK !!!

Clinique, No7 & Revlon - Battle of the chubbies!

From left to right

Clinique chubby stick in Mighty Mimosa & Chunky Cherry, both £17

Revlon Colorburst lip balm in Coquette, £7.99 (3 for 2 in Boots ATM)

No7 High Shine lip crayon in Delicate Pink, £9

I thought it was about time for a comparison post on my blog so decided to check out some of the chubby lip crayons on the market at the moment. These products appear to be quite popular in the blogging world currently so they seem to be a good place to start.

Revlon Colorburst laquer balm - I've seen several posts that highly recommend the matte version of this but I thought it better for this comparison to use the balm instead. At £7.99 this was the cheapest of my purchases and I have to admit I was quite impressed with it. The depth of glossy colour and coverage was really good, staying in place a little longer than I expected for a balm. Not only did it leave my lips feeling really soft and moisturised without any stickiness, it also had a minty taste that made them feel a little pumped and tingly. Overall it is a pretty good product!

No7 High Shine lip crayon - No7 products can usually be relied upon to perform well and at a reasonable price. At £9 this was a lot less than the Clinique stick which, like the Revlon version, makes it a little more affordable. The colour was a little less intense than the Revlon and although it claims to be 'high shine' I wasn't too impressed. It dried quite quickly and didn't feel as moisturising as either of the other two products, it wasn't really a hit with me. 

Clinique Chubby stick moisturizing lip balm - I've had these two in my make up collection for a couple of years although I honestly haven't used them recently. They are the most expensive item here at £17 a go, so not a cheap option. They do leave your lips feeling beautifully moisturised, however, this doesn't last too long and the colour is not very intense, I had to keep applying to achieve any sort of depth. I've noticed that Clinique have recently introduced an intense version of this product, again priced at £17, so this may prove a little better. I will have to get back to you on that one!

My conclusion - All three products were easy to apply, beautifully packaged and handy to keep in your handbags. They all provided good moisturisation although I was less impressed with the No7's performance than the other two. When it came to colour intensity I thought the Revlon lip crayon was by far the best, the others performing quite poorly in comparrison. Overall I would have no problem recommending the Revlon Colorburst laquer balm as the best of the bunch. Not only did it provide a deep colour intensity with a lovely shine and moisture, at just £7.99 it is a clear winner for me. This product has now found a permanent and very privileged place in my Vuitton!

I would love to hear your thoughts on these and other chubby lip products you may have tried!
