What I Say:
This new Flamed Out Eyeshadow Pencil from Covergirl was
released the same time as the Covergirl Flamed Out Mascara (check out my review
here).
I was lucky to trial the Eyeshadow Pencil in colour Melted
Caramel Flame" (350), which is a gorgeous medium coloured chocolate brown,
with a subtle metallic sheen – and preferring neutral shades, this colour is
just perfect for me, and the type of shade I’d normally wear.
Before having, I had all the time in the world to spend in
the bathroom getting ready, but this is no longer so – and most days I will
skip the Eyeshadow, as I simply won’t have the time to do it properly anyway.
And that’s where I love products such as this shadow stick which is so quickly
and easy use.
The Flamed Out Shadow stick has a creamy formula, which is
quick and easy to apply to the lids. Once applied it is a little ‘wet’ and you
have to be quick to blend it out, as otherwise it will dry and set on your
eyelids. The beauty of the shadow stick is that it is quite pigmented so you
can apply it as just a wash of colour blending it out, or you can build up the
colour for a more dramatic look or a smokey eye. I have also been using it on
top of a more neutral Eyeshadow as the base, and it works perfectly for that
too. And it works as a am eyeliner too. Brilliant!

It has a nice staying power, lasting all day without
creasing, and as someone with very sensitive eyes, very importantly; it also
doesn’t have any fallout to irritate my eyes.
What I Like:
- Quick and easy to use
- Blends well with no fallout
- Pigmented, so it is easy to build up colour
- Can be used as an eyeliner too
- Great price
What I Don’t Like:
- You have to be very quick blending it out before the eyeshadow dries and set
All in all, these shadow sticks are just so perfect for me
right now not having a lot of time to do my makeup, as they make it quick and
easy to apply Eyeshadow that there is actually a chance that I get to use
Eyeshadow!! At just $9.95 each these are such a versatile bargain buy.

I really like using this style of eye liner as I find its more forgiving and less scary than using liquid eyeliner!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely more forgiving, but it is also so quick and easy to use as an eyeshadow which I really like, as with a baby it's limited how much time I've got to do my makeup!
