It seems like just yesterday that I was shopping around Kiehl's for a new night cream (got some samples, no commitment). Well, Fashion Week to the rescue. I got a few Clinique samples from the Karen Walker show (extra credit reading: backstage coverage; collection review) and these two products are my new favorite things.
Remember, Chubby Sticks? I had a brown-ish one in college that I never sharpened, so I would just buy a new one when it dulled. Well, they're reincarnated as awesome tinted lip balms. Now, I'm using Mega Melon, which is a lot more flattering on pale skin. (Although I'd like to try Woppin' Watermelon next.) They're on the pricey side for a balm ($15), but they still beat Fresh Sugar lip treatment ($22.50).
Even better, the Moisture Surge hydrator also got a makeover. I liked the concept of the original (lightweight gel), but it wasn't thick enough for night, and I stopped using it after my first or second jar. After trying the new formula (Moisture Surge Intense), I have three words: magic potion lotion. I can't find it for sale on their site yet, but I'm definitely going to keep an eye out because I know I'll need to restock soon.
