I
bought two shades from the range of six – all of which fall into the neutral or
smokey colour spectrum and are right up my street. I decided to go for the
shades ‘Vintage Blush’, a soft pearly pink and ‘Hot Chocolate’, a deep brown
with hints of taupe. I thought they’d work well together as a combo and be the most
natural looking shades to wear on a day to day basis.
What I love about these eye shadows is the fact they’re so easy to use. I’m a bit lazy when it comes to early morning makeup application so anything that can speed the process up a bit is a winner in my eyes. All I need to do with these handy pencils is pop them directly onto my eyelid from the pencil and then blend with my fingers or a brush. The formula is very creamy so they don’t pull and tug at my eye area and I love that I can use them in a number of different ways. Vintage blush is a great colour to use all over the lid or in the inner corner of the eye and because its in pencil form, I can quickly dab it on in the morning and be good to go. I also like to use Hot Chocolate all over the lid and blended out if I’m going for a more sultry look but it also works nicely dabbed on the outer v and underneath my lower lash line. The metallic finish adds a nice definition to the eye without being too bold or OTT for day to day wear.

Overall
I think these pencil eye shadows are brilliant and definitely worth a try. They’re
cheap, easy to use and so versatile – perfect for someone like me who is a
little bit lazy with eyeshadow first thing in the morning.
Do you like the look
of these eyeshadow pencils from Collection? Are you like me and lazy with
makeup first thing in the morning?
They look nice, though would they crease if I have very oily lids?

Love cream shadows/shadow sticks. Have seen these for a while but end up not buying (just cuz I already have too many eyeshadows). You made me wanna pick up both colours! Will have a look at them again. :) X

I love these, they are so long lasting however a little warning, they dry out SO fast (I had mine around a month) and just end up crumbling :(

I've been loving eyeshadow sticks lately too, they're so easy and they really do last all day! My faves at the moment include Mally and Laura Mercier. If Collection ever comes out in the US, I'd totally buy these!

I own the Vintage Blush & a few eyeshadow pencils from other brands and they're great go-to's on the days I'm feeling a little too lazy to apply my makeup!...I haven't used them much lately but I'm going to get them out after this post!

ReplyDeleteThey look so pigmented and the colors are lovely!
ReplyDeleteI'm really lazy when it comes to eye makeup in the morning- it leads me to not wear eyeshadow as much as I'd like to.

The lighter one would be too pale for me, but I love the idea. Any time cutters are very welcomed!
