In My Beauty Bag. Clinique Chubby Stick Lip Colour Balm

The gift bags from "The Beauty Social" sponsored by Beautylish had so many products I can't wait to try (DIOR Lip Addict 819 Havana Beige, Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15, Scott Barnes Body Bling and so much more). Admittedly, as I've written before I'm a beauty and make-up fanatic, constantly trying new things from age defying treatments, hair products to beauty and cosmetics.

First up is 'Moisturizing Chubby Stick Lip Color Balm 07 Super Strawberry by Clinque'. It's more of soft rose lip stain, goes on smoothly and a nice option if not wanting to go vibrant red. I wore it yesterday.

Francois Nars'  first stand alone store 'NARS' will be on my radar the next time I visit New York. The boutique opened this month at 413 Bleecker Street in Manhattan.
In the meantime I'm going to try to get my hands on the Limited Edition Bento Box.
