Clinique New Chubby Sticks Shadows Tints for Eyes

I love hearing about new products especially when I have similar products that I love that have been discontinued.  MAC a while back discontinued their Shade Sticks.  I loved Shade Sticks for the packaging, product, price, longevity, and usability. They were easy to use and great for travel.  

New Clinique Chubby Stick Shadow Tints for Eyes


Clinique has introduced a new product to go with the Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balms! The New Chubby Stick Shadow Tints for Eyes are very comparable to the MAC Shade Sticks.  They are a bit thicker but still have some of the traits that I loved about my Shade Sticks.  The don't crease when used properly except on some people with very oily lids.  Oily lids people may have an issue, but a great base can take care of that.  Also they blend great together and with other products.  

Swatches of Clinique Chubby Stick Shadow Tints for Eyes
I also compared them to the NYX Jumbo Sticks and Covergirl Smoky Shadow Blast.  I prefer the Clinique Chubby Sticks over both.  The Chubby Stick last longer and I prefer the colors and pigmentation.  The Chubby Sticks come in 12 beautiful colors and you MUST Click them Closed to ensure that they don't dry out.  

I use them as a base, liner, blend them to create new colors and alone.  The price point is good also, $16 each.         


Pros:
  • Does not crease(oilier lids may need a base such as Urban Decay Eden)
  • blend great together and with other cream and powder products
  • Great as a base for dry to combination oily skin types
  • Great as a liner, especially the darker colors
  • Long Lasting(I wore 8 hours while working at the counter and no creasing or touch ups)
  • Great variety of colors
Cons:
  • None so far
