I love Clinique's Chubby Stick for lips, so I was eager to try out Chubby Stick for eyes. It glides on easily, lasts long, blends like a dream, and the colour can be layered to reach your desired intensity.

It is a little pricey, and because it's chubby you can't really use it as an eyeliner - this is purely a colour/shadow application. I'm not much of an eyeshadow-wearer, but this is so easy to use, I might change my ways! :)

Hi everyone,

Last month I got the opportunity to attend an exclusive Clinique event at the Edgars store in Waterfront to try out the new Chubby Stick Tint for Eyes.

I was so excited after I done some research about the Chubby Stick Tint for Eyes because there was one colour that really stood out to me. I love dark colours on my eyes so Curvaceous Coal was just love at first sight.

About the Chubby Stick Tint for Eyes:

- Packaging:
* The box:
The box is white with pretty pastel flowers around the entire box.
The Clinique logo is on the front in silver with the information on the right of the logo in green.
I expected something a bit more "flashy" because it doesn't really match the product tube.

* The product:
The Chubby Stick Tint for Eyes tube is very sleek and easy to use.
It is a retractable pencil with a silver sturdy cap that pops off and on with ease but the cap won't pop off in your bag because it has a soft click mechanism.
This is so convenient, it's small enough to fit in your purse / makeup baggy and easy to use.
Recently I found out that the wording on the actual Chubby Stick comes off really easy and I thought that kind of sucked.

- Texture:
* It has a creamy texture that is really soft on the lid. It glides on with ease onto the lid.
Even though it's creamy it is very light weight and doesn't feel irritating on the lid.
It is suppose to be a sheer formula but I feel that shade I have is strong (I'm guessing because it's a dark colour?).
Curvaceous Coal has a slight shimmer too and I think that it looks amazing with the grey and dark blue undertones colour. It reminds me of a dark sky with stars.

- Wearability:
* I got a good solid 4 hour wear of the Chubby Stick Tint for Eyes but closer to the end of my 4 hours I noticed some creasing, nothing really noticeable though.
I feel that if the product isn't layered on then it won't stay as long on your lid.
Also, I did not wear a primer so maybe it would've lasted longer if I did.

- Pigmentation:
* The more you put on the more vibrant the colour would be.
I find that even with one layer of Curvaceous Coal the colour looked amazing.

- Applicator:
* I feel that the applicator is too round and thick.
I can't really get in the corner of my eyelids with this, however, I do like the the idea of it being round.

- Shades available:
In South Africa -
• Big Blue
• Bountiful Beige
• Curvaceous Coal
• Fuller Fudge
• Lavish Lilac
• Massive Midnight
• Mighty Moss
• Pink & Plenty
• Portly Plum

Other countries / online stores:
• Ample Amber
• Lots o' Latte
• Whopping Willow

- How to use:
* Apply onto eyelids with brush, fingers or directly from the barrel.
* Blend gently upward and outward and build to desired intensity.
* Layer with multiple shades.

- Pros & Cons:
*Pros:
- Convenient
- Easy to use
- A colour to suit everyone
- Appropriate for sensitive eyes and contact lens-wearers
- Retractable pencil so no sharpener required
- Long-lasting with the right preparation of the eyelid
- Like most Clinique products it's 100% fragrance free
- You can choose the intensity of the colour
- Easy to remove
- Smart packing, small enough to fit in your makeup baggy


* Cons
- It retails for R215 *dies*
- There isn't much product in the tube
- The applicator is too thick for my liking
- Not all shades are available in South Africa :(
- The wording on the Chubby Stick comes off with ease

Overall, I have mixed feelings about this product mainly because it's meant for convenience but I find it a bit hard to apply to without a brush.
However, I do like the feeling and look of the product on my eyes.

Thank you so much Beauty Bulletin for sending me this product :) I really appreciate it!

Firstly thanks to Clinique and Bb for the opportunity to review this product! Always a pleasure...

After I had chosen to review the coal colour of chubby stick I thought I had made a mistake an should have gone for a more neutral, serviceable, everyday colour. But when I received the product I decided to give it a go in using in my day to day eye shadow look. So my favorite was to use the chubby stick is by applying my usual powder shadow usually in dark browns, and then outlining the eye near the lashes to add a more dramatic look. It works wonders and gives the same effect as if you were to smudge your eyeliner, but its so much quicker and easier!

The chubby stock is easy to hold and apply and lasts all day. I was very pleasantly surprised to see that it doesn't smudge 5min after you apply! I will definitely buy other colours in the range! Very good product!

My Chubby Stick finally arrived - I chose Lilac 'cos it is my favorite colour ! And blending it with the Clinique pink shade received at the Eastgate Launch makes for a fabulous look.
It glides on perfectly and only needs to be touched up with a brush. The colour does not fade or crease and stays fresh all day (and nearly all night - have to remove before sleep !) And I can easily control how deep the colour is too. Better than the Mary Quant eye crayons of yesteryear !

The Clinique Chubby Stick Shadow Tint for Eyes sounded like an exciting product and I was very happy when I finally had it in my hands. I chose the Curvaceous Coal colour as I thought it would go well with my dark skin and with the smokey eye I normally wear.

On first application, I was very impressed by how easily it glided across my eyelids. Even more impressive was the creamy and shimmery look of the eyeshadow on my eyelids. I had to use my finger, though, to blend it in nicely and give it a more effortless look. Within a few seconds my eyelids looked as they would have if I’d spend a few minutes with a powder eyeshadow.

This Clinique eyeshadow tint doesn’t crack or dry-out as the day progresses, but continues to look freshly applied.

It’s small in size but the ‘’chubbiness’’ makes it easy to handle. The tube is perfect for carrying around in your purse, right next to your lipstick. You can touch up on your eyeshadow while on the go and it’ll take you only a few seconds to get done.

I’m trying hard to think of the downside of this product, but I can’t. Maybe the only issue I may have, personally, is the price. I feel it is too expensive considering it’s a single tube of eyeshadow in one colour (R215).

But otherwise, Clinique Chubby Stick Shadow Tint for Eyes in Curvaceous Coal is a very simple product that turns normal eyes into glamorous eyes in an instant!

Definitely something I will keep on buying and recommend to all my friends and family.

Before I begin my review and tell you about my amazing experience with the new Clinique Chubby Stick Shadow Tint, I would love to thank Beauty Bulletin for giving me the opportunity to attend the Clinique Event in Gateway, Durban as well as giving me the chance to be one of the lucky ladies to review the new Clinique Chubby Stick Shadow Tint.

While the box is gorgeous, the Chubby Stick Shadow Tint is simply out of this world. The Chubby Stick Shadow Tint comes in a shimmering barrel which matches the colour of the Shadow Tint, while the end of the tube has a shiny silver twister which makes the Chubby Stick Shadow Tint retractable.

If you missed how to create amazing looks thanks to the amazing Chubby Stick Shadow Tint, don’t worry! I’ve included looks to be created by Clinique Global Colour Artist, Jenna Menard, who explains what is the best way to wear your Clinique Chubby Stick Shadow Tint.

"These unique shadow sticks come in a variety of colours and layering shadows has never been so easy and mess-free. You can create a professional look in just minutes by applying different colours on particular areas of the lid. The key is to blend the edges of the colours with a shadow brush before the make-up sets. You can really have a lot of fun with this shadow! Each shade can be worn alone as an all-over colour on the lid, combined with eyeliner to create more definition, layered under a powder shadow to create more dimension with two textures, or layered with other shadow sticks to create a creamy blend of “wow” colours on the lids."

“There are also amazing looks to create if you own more than one Chubby Stick Shadow Tint. These styles are:
• A Fresh Look: Apply Lavish Lilac as an all over colour on top and along the bottom lash line, and use Fuller Fudge as a wide eyeliner close to the top lash line. Lavish Lilac and Fuller Fudge is a great combination for the fall season.

• A Sophisticated Look: Apply Bountiful Beige stick all over the lid starting from the base of the lash line to just slightly above the crease of the lid. Apply Ample Amber towards the outer corner of the lid along the crease and blend outward. To create a more precise shape use a shadow brush to blend the two shades together creating the desired shape.

• A Dramatic Look: Apply Curvaceous Coal all over the lid starting from the lash line to just above the crease. Use Pink & Plenty to create a dimensional highlight on the lid. Apply Pink & Plenty over Curvaceous Coal on the inner corner of the lid, just above Curvaceous Coal on the base of the brow bone and trace along the bottom lash line.”

I apologise for my review being so long, however I promise my review is completely worth it.

The hardest part for me was picking a shade to do my review on because all the shades are so beautiful and eye catching, so after long moments of thinking which shade I should choose, I finally settled for the Bountiful Beige. This Chubby Stick Shadow Tint is a more golden colour and is actually used as a highlighter because it gives a beautiful shimmering colour. Ever since the first time I applied the Clinique Chubby Stick Shadow Tint from the Clinique Event, I've fallen in love with the Shadow Tint. I really love the fact that this Chubby Stick Shadow Tint blends in so easily and lasts for hours.

The reason I chose the Bountiful Beige is because I love natural colours with a shimmering effect and I really couldn't wait to get my hands on this amazing Chubby Stick Shadow Tint. The Shadow Tint gives eyes a dazzling and shimmering look which I've never seen before, I was also really impressed about the creamy texture and long lasting colour, I also loved that the Shadow Tint was blendable, but there's a trick to it. My Clinique Consultant from the Clinique Event stated that to blend the Clinique Chubby Stick Shadow Tint, you shouldn't rub in the Shadow Tint, but rather blend the Shadow Tint by gently patting the Tint until its colour is perfect for you. I especially love how the Chubby Stick Shadow Tint can be used on your entire eyelid as an eye shadow, or just as highlighting eyeliner. I also love the fact that there is NO need for eye primer because this Chubby Stick Shadow Tint lasts for hours on eyes, get ready to be dazzled.

How to Use
Apply directly to eyelids.
Blend gently upward and outward, build to desired intensity.
Layer with multiple shades.


I have very sensitive eyes which tend to get irritated if a product doesn't agree with my eyes, so I was really excited when I learned that the Chubby Stick Shadow Tint is allergy tested and 100% fragrance free. Plus the Cubby Stick Shadow Tint is ophthalmologist tested and safe for contact lens wearers. I was also very pleased about the fact that this Chubby Stick Shadow Tint may have beautiful shimmering pigments with vibrant and intense colour, but it melts under eye make-up remover, leaving eyes clean without a trace of Shadow Tint.
