Rimmel Scandaleyes Shadow Stick - Bad Bronze

Rimmel Scandaleyes Shadow Stick - Bad Bronze - £4.49
 

The Scandaleyes line by Rimmel has been a huge success in the last year or so, i've enjoyed using their eyeliners and now their Shadow Sticks are a hit with me too.

This whole crayon looking lip and eye product stemmed from Clinique (I think) and as Clinique is not the cheapest of the make-up brands it's no surprise the high street/drugstore make-up brands jumped on the bandwagon and created their own. I don't own any of the other brands version of the eye crayon shadows, to my recollection I can't even name any other brand off the top of my head that has come out with an eye shadow crayon type product, plenty of the lip crayons but not the eyes. Nevertheless the Shadow Sticks by Rimmel are the focus for todays review.

There was actually only one reason I was drawn to this product, and that was because I missed out on Mac's Eclair Paint Pot, having only discovered it after it's release in a Limited Edition collection had been and gone. So on the hunt for a perfect chocolate brown colour eyeshadow, I came across this. And hearing that people like the product I went ahead and got it, which was quite a challenge actually as it took me a while to find this particular colour.

It is a gorgeous chocolate brown colour with a gold shimmer in it, so beautiful!

It is very creamy and smooth to apply, a dream to blend and the lasting power is very good i'd say at least 8 hours wear time. With a primer more than likely longer.

You could potentially use this as a eyeliner, if you like the thick eyeliner look. But if you want a nice thin line, like myself, then this wouldn't work at all as the crayon is too big to create that look. Very good for a blended out/smudged eyeliner look though!

It didn't crease on my eyelids at all, then again I don't have particularly oily eyelids and not much tends to crease on them. This is basically a cream eyeshadow in a crayon form, so if you have trouble with cream eyeshadow products then this may not be entirely for you.

As you can see by the swatches, i've done a light swatch and a heavy swatch. It is very pigmented and you won't be tugging at your eyes or applying it loads to get colour, no need to worry on that front.

Price tag of under a fiver I have yet to find fault with the actual product, but I do have fault with Rimmel for releasing some not so good colours. There is a very bright turquoise colour, I don't know what it is with make-up brands always releasing bright colours, I don't think they appeal to that many people. I suspect people want more wearable everyday colours - I definitely do. A nice grey with a silver shimmer would be good, or a nice muted gold. They have a shade called Bulletproof Beige which i'm thinking might be a champagne sort of colour, which if it is then i'd be interested in purchasing that one, but none of the other colours appeal to me all that much.
