Clinique Whopping Willow Chubby Stick Shadow Tint ($16.00 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a “golden sage green.” It’s a subtly warm-toned olive green with strong olive/khaki tones and a soft, shimmery finish. MAC Vintage Coin is much darker. Guerlain Coup de Foudre #1 is a powder product and greener. Sephora Snakeskin Dress is a touch greener and a powder product. MAC Sumptuous Olive has a stronger brown undertone and is also a powder eyeshadow. Inglot #433 is ever-so-slightly warmer but is very similar–definitely the closest–though it is a powder product.

I would describe the payoff of Whopping Willow as rather opaque, but it is easy enough to get just a sheer wash of color, but if you were to just do one stroke of the pencil against your arm, it would be semi-opaque.  It builds up color very well, as it doesn’t bunch up on itself, so it goes on smoothly, evenly, and can be built to opaque color.    The consistency is more waxy than it is creamy, which helps it apply color smoothly, but it did tug just a bit at the lid.  Whopping Willow lasted just over ten hours on me, and there was faint creasing after twelve hours. It comes in a twist-up pencil so there’s no sharpening required.

The name makes me think of the Whomping Willow from Harry Potter….I wonder if that’s the name they were going for but misspelled it…

Anyway, it’s a very nice color. I love gold shades and this looks more like an antiqued gold than olive to me….maybe it’s jut my screen’s settings though….

Love the Harry Potter-inspired name but it’s not a misspelling, it’s a play on words. “Whomping” means to strike (the willow attacks people/things who get too close). “Whopping” means large, and all the Chubby Sticks have names that play on the chubby theme (plus, the name Whomping Willow is probably trademarked to Warner Bros. anyway).
