Designer Brands Chubby Lipstick Crayon in Enchanted Rose

I have always wanted to try the Clinique Chubby Sticks but never wanted to pay the high price tag. So thank you Designer Brands for coming up with your own version for me to try!

There are four shades in their wind-up Chubby range - Dollface, Guava Kiss, Kiss and Tell and Enchanted Rose. I purchased 411 Enchanted Rose.



 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 







Colour: It is a dusty pink colour.

Pigmentation: Covers like a lipstick, 7/10.

Application: It is easy to apply - much easier than applying a lipstick. It's more like you are applying a lip gloss.

Texture: Smooth, creamy and hydrating.

Longevity: It was 4 hours before I had to re-apply.

Packaging: Standard DB black packaging with silver writing.

Price: $7.99.


Overall: I really can't fault anything about this product. I love the colour, easy application, texture and its longevity. I was also pleasantly surprised by its pigmentation.

Project Pan Update

Back in February I started my own project pan to stop myself from buying unnecessary make-up items. I think I did pretty well. In fact, I didn't buy anything make-up related until late July.

So what did I completely finish?




Maybelline Mineral Powder: I used it mostly as a finishing powder but it has great coverage if used on its own too. I think it was Medium 2 shade.

Face Of Australia blush: This was my everyday blush for a very long time, even after I dropped it. Unfortunately I can't remember the name of the shade however it was a subtle rose colour.

Natio Pressed Powder: This was my go-to face powder for as long as it lasted. It was discontinued.

Maybelline Age Rewind Primer: I love this primer! I will be re-purchasing this again. It's a silicone based primer and we all know I love those!

Sephora Foundation Sample: This foundation is quite thick so you only need a little bit.






Seacret body lotion: I was surprised how easy this lotion absorbed into the skin. A nice light one for summer. I think it is similar to the Vaseline Intensive range of body lotions.

Designer Brand body butter: This body butter is similar to the Body Shop body butters but for a third of the cost. It comes in the pump as pictured above or in a tub.






Paris Hilton, Gucci Flora and Elizabeth Arden body lotions: These came in packs with their respective fragrances.






Shiseido AV1 mascara: This was my holy grail (HG)  mascara until I discovered the Rimmel Sexy Curves mascara.

Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara: This was my HG until I discovered the Designer Brand Amplify mascara.

Designer Brands Amplify mascara: LOVE LOVE LOVE. Will forever be repurchasing. This was in my project pan as it was in the colour brown and I like to where black mascara.








Revlon New Complexion : This foundation is a light to medium foundation. I found it good to use in the winter when my skin was lacking moisture.

Revlon ColorStay Foundation: This foundation is a medium to heavy foundation. This was my go-to foundation for a very long time and would purchase it again but I have found a dupe which is have the price of this foundation.





Clarins Beauty Flash Balm: I bought this to use as a primer however I found it is better suited to be used as a 10 minute moisture mask.





Schwartzkopf Rescue Repair: Great for split ends. I love this brand in general and have yet to be disappointed. 



I haven't quite finished this project pan even though I gave myself 3 months to use these products. As you can see there are a few items I am still trying to finish.
