Happy Monday!
I can't believe I hadn't reviewed these shadow sticks as I have been using them for a while now, and they have become one of my favourite "go to" items for a quick makeup look. The last time I bought a product from Rimmel was years ago. There wasn't any particular reason other than the fact that I have my regular brands I reach for. However, I was so impressed with this product that I went back and bought more bits from Rimmel.
The Scandaleyes Eye Shadow Sticks are not new. They have been around for a while now. I picked up Bulletproof Beige and Bad Girl Bronze. The formulation of these shadow sticks are great. I would describe the texture as soft, creamy and smooth making them glide on beautifully. This is definitely useful when trying to blend the eyeshadows or creating a smokey eye. The pigment as you will see from the pictures below is extremely rich. The fact that the shadow sticks are shaped like a large marker enables you to apply the product in a more precise way. They also have a lovely shine and luminous finish to them.
I really think these shadow sticks could give the higher-end cream eyeshadows a run for their money. I found the colour to be long lasting although it did crease slightly towards the end of the day. Which I didn't mind at all. My issue is when eyeshadows start creasing after just a few hours. There are three further colours in the range: Tempting Turquoise, Paranoid Purple, and Blackmail. They are definitely worth a try next time you're in Boots or Superdrug.
The Scandaleyes Eye Shadow Sticks retail at £4.99 which I think is definitely reasonable for a good product.
Have you tried these shadow sticks? Which other products would you recommend from Rimmel?
Thanks for reading!!

ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful colours! And wow, they don't crease until the end of the day? For that price and for a creamy product, that's pretty good :) X
ReplyDeleteThese look so pretty! I find most creamy products crease quite quickly on me though.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely going to buy these after reading about them on your blog. x Becky
ReplyDeletejust a thought - LA colors do some 'jumbo stick' pencils now and I purchased some the other week, they're really good and really pigmented and smooth! They have a good range of colours too, just thought I'd mention because they're only 99p!
