Clinique Grandest Grape (08) Chubby Stick Intense
The Grandest Grape is the Sweetest
Clinique Grandest Grape (08) Chubby Stick Intense ($16.00 for 0.10 oz.) is berry-red with a glossy sheen. NARS Afghan Red is a touch lighter, less red. MAC Rebel is more fuchsia. Guerlain Guet-Apens is lighter. Guerlain Nuit d’Amour is darker. Guerlain Bee is purpler.
This shade yielded semi-opaque color coverage; there was enough translucency that my natural lip color was still a bit visible, and my lip freckle was very much visible still (always a good measure of opacity!). This shade wore exceptionally well–five hours–and it left a soft stain behind. It was hydrating both during wear, as well as even as it wore off and a couple of hours afterward–my lips were in better shape after I wore it than when I initially applied it. The consistency was creamy, balm-like, and applied easily.

Looks great! It reminded me of MAC Craving,maybe not the swatch, but how it looks on my lips
I love the Chubby Sticks! This particular color isn’t my color, though, but I love the two I have 🙂
i was hoping you would review this particular shade..lovely!!
This is pretty! I might have to pick this up the next time Clinique has a GWP.
Ooh, I love this!
Oh this is really pretty! Will have to see if I can find it!
I love the concept of the chubby sticks and have been looking at them for as long as they have been out but have yet to buy one. I look, I ponder and I walk away. The colours are beautiful!
Christine, I love the 2 different eye looks!!! Was this for testing? Or did you decide to be much bolder and go out?
Testing – I don’t remember if I went out or not!
I bought three of these in my latest Sephora order, but I didn’t get this one, I don’t think. Now I’m kind of wishing I had ordered it. There’s always another order, right?
Wow! That looks nice on you! Especially with your eye look!
Well that’s look good! I read a lot of rave reviews about Clinique Chubby lipsticks,but I’ve never tried one.
At first glance I thought the name was “grandpa grape”…I think I’ve been using OCC liptar a little too often LOL.
The color is really pretty though, I’m getting more and more intrigued by this “Intense” version of the chubby stick.
I like it! Thanks for the review. 🙂
Thank you for reviewing these… I like the original chubby sticks and think I’ll go ahead and give this new formula a shot. This color looks so pretty!
It’s okay on you. I think it will probably suit someone who has cooler toned skin. The two different eyes threw me off a bit too.
I have to buy this shade! It looks beautiful on you.
Wow this is *gorgeous*, Christine! I LOVE the coverage of this! It’s shiny and just a touch sheer but a LOT more opaque than I thought it would be. The color is really rich and shiny–love this!
Love this because it look so beautiful on you!
I love that you’re reviewing these! I’ve been interested in what the shades are like, so its exciting to see them up here, and rated well!
Do you have a favorite among these chubby balms (e.g. Clinique, Tarte, Revlon….).
I don’t think I’ve tried Tarte’s or Revlon’s!
haha! I always look at the lip freckle! It is indeed a good measure of opacity. 😀
You have a gorgeous smile! 🙂
yummy! looks like a nice glass of wine for your lips.
Do you know the ingredients for this product please?
Hi Nora!
I didn’t receive boxes, just the samples, so I don’t have an ingredients’ list!
Hi Nora – I got mine today, but it’s a bit much to type out. Is there something in particular you’re looking for?
Hi blueraccoon! I’m not Nora, but I’m curious to know what the ingredients are too. 🙂 I usually have trouble with most lip products, as they have either lanolin or mineral oils among their ingredients. Does this have either of those???
I don’t see lanolin or mineral oil on the product list. The first ingredient is castor seed oil, and there are a lot of vegetable oils and things but I don’t see lanolin either, unless it has a funny chemical name i don’t know about!
Christine just wanted to point out that in the “what are you wearing” section it’s written bobbi brown black pearl lip gloss on lips instead of clinique 🙂
