Rimmel London’s ScandalEyes Waterproof Eye Shadow Sticks |
New to Rimmel London’s eye shadow line up
are their Scandal Eyes Waterproof Eye Shadow Sticks that I received to
review. These are crayon type eye pencils that can double as blendable eye
shadow or liner.
I received six out of the nine colors in this collection
in 003 Bad Girl Bronze (a pretty shimmery bronze), 007 Gossip
Green (a pea green), 008 Blackmail (a haunting black), 005
Tempting Turquoise (bright blue-green with some shimmer), 001 Witness
White (a bright milk white with slight shimmer to it), and 002 Bullet
Proof Beige (an apricot-beige gold color with shimmer).
The company advertises these shadow sticks to last 24
hours without creasing. Although they last fairly long, I have never worn
any cosmetics for that excessive amount length of time to judge the true
accuracy of that claim. Instead, I found them able to stay on my eyes for
about eights hours or so without giving me any problems with performance or
causing an sensitivity to my allergy-prone eyes.
These were creamy and did blend well. However, I do
want to warn that you need to be careful when first opening these pencils
because these can be difficult the first time. I did behead one
that was exceptionally tight so just remember that you need to twist back and
forth with some firm pressure to dislodge that cap. The good news I
discovered in the process is that despite the soft texture of this pencil, it
can be sharpened easily enough.
My favorites to bring out my dark brown eyes were 003
Bad Girl Bronze and 002 Bullet Proof Beige,
which had the right shimmering color combination to create some striking spring
eye drama.
If you’re looking to update your Spring 2013 eye shadows, I
think you to take a trip to your drug store and check out these Rimmel London products.
