Happy Friday Everyone! Now, I am pretty sure that a truckload of people have written about the Covergirl Smokey Shadow Blasts since they first came out, but I just want to put my two cents worth in.
Firstly, side note, has anyone seen the new Maxfactor Smokey Eye Effect sticks? They look strangely similar to the Covergirl ones...
Ok, back to the review. For administration purposes and to set the scene, I bought the colour "
bronze fire", because I have green eyes and are also not as adventurous as the other colour combinations would suggest you should be.
To be honest, I am greatly disappointed with this product.
Why?
1. The colour is not very pigmented at all. The colour which you use for the liner is not that bad, but the colour which is supposed to be the all over colour is a little bit weak.
2. The applicator for the darker colour - the "liner" - is not really thin enough to be a great liner, and is really quite hard to use. The point of these is that they are supposed to be easy, but I think I get a lot more precision from a brush and a gel eyeliner, or my beloved
Rimmel Professional Liquid Eyeliner.
3. The product does not last. Once applied, it lasts about ten minutes before it creases. Primer or no primer. This is crazy frustrating. Now it does not matter as much to me using the bronze one, as the bronze colour is quite light and the creasing, while noticeable, is not enough to stop you in your tracks and go running for the bathroom. It is just kinda annoying, and really, why bother with a product which will crease?
So, there you go. I really wanted to like these, because the thought of something easy was fantastic. It's just not meant to be.
