~ What do Rimmel say about this eye shadow? ~
* A micro-filled powder eyeshadow (please enlighten me as to what micro-filled means??)
* Glides on easily leaving behind a dazzling colour
* Crease-free
* Lasts up to 8 hours

Before losing the sponge applicator I did use it but now apply it with my fingertips which although not ... ...of your eyes.
As Rimmel promise, it does last for hours. I've never meticulously timed it but from 7pm until 2am I have never had to re-apply it.
Another great feature of the shadow is that it is in fact crease-free, an important issue for those of us getting on in life as anything that doesn't highlight the creases is a great bonus!!
The colour duo that I plumped for is called 'metallic' and does have a little bit of a sheen to it, ideal for ...

Advantages: Great colours which perfectly match each other Disadvantages: Not 100% crease free
...really positive experience with another Rimmel product I felt a level of trust develop with the London brand. Many of Rimmel's products are aimed at a teenage - twenties age group, with Kate Moss as the face of the brand. Although the image never used to appeal to me over the last couple of years the brand has revamped and improved many of their products and I'm one of the new converts from this wave of positive change.
I am a lover of all things ... ...like at 13. I associated Rimmel with that 'old' me and so rejected it up until as late as 2005. This was when I had my first positive experience, and since then I've become a fan.
Among my collection of favourites is my Rimmel Duo Eye Shadow 'Special Eyes' product, of which I now have several hues. This is basically a set of two complementing colours in one package. The idea is that one colour offsets the other, maximising the effect on your eyes. ...

Advantages: crease-proof, cheap Disadvantages: dusty effect on application
These two colours (the duo named Walnut Peals) compliment each other really well or are nice shades just on their own. They can be applied dry for daytime and wet for a more vivid shade at night and they last about eight hours (which is what it says on the compact) if you don't rub your eyes.
One shade is light beige, which I applied to the lower lids of my eyes. The other is a light cocoa brown, which I either applied on the brow bone above the ... ...strokes for it to show this way). I found that wearing the whiter shade on the bottom and browner shade above and blended into the brow bone gave a more striking effect and needed fewer applications than wearing the brown singly. The applicator was quite gentle on my lids and was quite durable (i.e. didn't bobble, or wear through, fall off etc.) The shadow didn't crease and was powdery on application, but settled to a silky feeling matte. I love ...

Advantages: Long wearing, easily blended, easy to remove, does not irritate eyes Disadvantages: Matte
I bought this because my summer job requires all makeup to be neutral and nonobtrusive. Ever one to bend the rules, I decided that this was both of those things! I work in a coffee shop - very busy, hot and sweaty at times! So any eyeshadow HAD to be hard wearing, otherwise I would be forever panda eyed. I tend to apply this as the lighter shade all over my eyelid to a few mm above the crease, then the darker one in the crease. With my Mac blending ...
