RimmelLondon Scandaleyes Shadow Stick, 9 Blamed Blue, .25 g

Beautiful colour

Good quality and easy to use, better than eyeshadow.

These eye shadow sticks are really handy for my morning makeup routine when I'm in a rush. They go on really easily and are nice and creamy for blending with your finger when you're in a rush or on the go. They seem to stay on pretty well throughout the day, even longer if you use an eyeshadow primer. I've used one right the way down to the bottom and it lasted quite a long time.The only downside is that the edges at the pencil end get a bit sharp once you've worn down the shadow part, so you always need to have a sharpener on hand to avoid scratching your eyelid - but this is true of all pencil based makeup.Unfortunately this colour was a bit cool for me (it would have been nice to see more colour swatches before buying), but I like the other colours in the range. I'll watch some youtube reviews before ordering online again to check the colours.

Update Nov 2024: this wonderful shadow stick is used up. As I was searching to replace this item I noticed that it is now being pointed out online that this stick CAN be sharpened when used up. In other words, I used a sharpener, and hopefully I will get many more months use out of it. Stupidly it didn’t even occur to me that an old fashioned sharpener is all I needed !! I love this shadow stick, using it almost exclusively. The colour, bluffing, is perfect for my complexion and green eyes. Great buy, value for money

This product had a little simmer to it. It kind of crumples on your water line (that’s the best way to explain it). But I have found use for it. It’s great for a brow high light or the inner corner of your eye. It’s cheap and easy. I’m worried I have gotten to the end of the tip and I don’t know if I should sharpen it but it’s thicker that a normal pencil so use the bigger sharpener but still don’t now I’d theres more product night 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Looks good on.

Brilliant

Lovely vibrant colour but unfortunately it arrived broken. It did sharpen, but you’ll need a dual sharpener that has two pencil sizes, as this is quite a ‘fat’ pencil.It goes on smoothly, blends well and cleans off easily with a standard eye cream/face wipe.The packaging wasn’t enough to protect the pencil and the end had come off in transit causing the first part of the pencil to snap off.
