Clinique Whopping Willow Chubby Stick Shadow Tint Review, Photos, Swatches
Clinique Whopping Willow Chubby Stick Shadow Tint
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.

I like that it’s a muted gold… not a very sparkly one.
hi i was wondering why you have stopped making youtube videos?
i miss them!!! can you please give your viewers a reasoning. i know you dont owe us anything but i feel like sad you stopped making videos
No time right now! 🙁
awh! its okay! im glad that its jsut that your busy! i was scared you stopped because of mean comments or something! love your post still!! love you and your hard work Christine!
Nice but I have so many shadows in this colour family that I don’t need another.
Oh this is really gold gold! I love it.
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….
The Whomping Willow was the first thing I thought of! 😀
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).
I love this color!
Oh gosh gorgeous color–I can never resist a pretty olive-y green like this! But I am not sure about the wear for those with oily lids…like me. I did pick up 2 of the Laura Mercier ones and I am optimistic about those, though
Ahhh this is JUST my shade! So glad you reviewed this first. It’s the most memorable one in the whole bunch for me 🙂
Just got it today because of your review. Just my shade of green/gold. Thanks Christine.
Tried this in-store last week & didn’t like it. I didn’t find it to be anything remotely unique or special.
