Review: Clinique Chubby Stick in Mega Melon

*I received this product for free as part of a gift with purchase promotion.*
Super-nourishing balm is loaded with mango and shea butters. Just what dry, delicate lips need to feel comfortably soft and smooth. Sixteen natural-looking lip tints in all, each with a subtle sheen. Allergy Tested. 100% Fragrance free.
$19  for 0.1oz
04 Mega Melon is described as a sheer peachy pink. It is a relatively wearable colour but I don't find myself reaching for it very often. It just doesn't "go" with the rest of my make-up (which is fairly neutral). 
Left: one swipe     Right: several swipes
This colour is quite sheer but can be built up to a nice melon-y colour. It is definitely a shade more suited for warmer skin tones. 
The balm felt nice on my lips but it didn't feel as moisturizing as a Maybelline Baby Lips or Revlon Lip Butter. Lip gloss isn't  really needed on top as this product leaves a sheen. There is some very very tiny bits of shimmer but it is practically undetectable. The wear and pigmentation wasn't anything spectacular but it wasn't disappointing either.

Overall: I find this product to be okay. I can understand if someone finds a specific colour that they love and can't find a dupe, but at $190/oz this just isn't worth it for me.
