This was a complete impulse buy. Rimmel was 3 for 2 and I needed something to go with the foundation and powder, so somehow this ended up in my basket. More than anything I think I was just intrigued by the idea of an eyeshadow as a crayon as such.
So how did I get on with it? Actually quite well really. I feel like I've been spoilt with my new Tarte eyeshadows, so I was expecting to hate this compared to them. But I actually really like it. It's so easy to apply and it blends really nicely. It was a bit weird to start with, but you get used to it.
Like I said, it blends really easily with your fingers, and I imagine it creates an incredible smokey eye affects with the same product in a different colour, for example this and Bad Bronze. I definitely want to try this out in different colours. The eyeshadow stays on for a good couple of hours. It doesn't stick to the creases and overall it's a nice product.
I know Clinique have bought out their version of this as well, so I'd love to try these as well (if I had the money!), who knows, these could be a really good dupe!
Have you tried any of the Rimmel Scandaleyes products? Which do you recommend?
Everyone is doing these pencils these days, it's nice to know there is a good cheap alternative out there!
ReplyDeleteGood news that it doesn't stick in the crease, too!

I have never thought of using an eyeshadow pencil before - seems great for carrying in your bag!
