Hello everyone! I have some new product to share with you from Rimmel London!
They are the ScandalEyes Shadow Paints ($4.97 USD), and I found mine at Walmart. It's pretty much Rimmel's liquid/cream eyeshadow line. I bought 5 colors, Rich Russet, Peachy Apricot, Manganese Purple, Pomegranate, and Velvet Black. Here's what Rimmel had to say on their website:
Scandalous colour impact!
It’s the end of dull, subtle colour with this multi-dimensional cream shadow formula
Spatula applicator delivers high intensity coverage in one simple stroke
Waterproof & crease-proof with 8-hour wear

| Top to Bottom: Rich Russet, Manganese Purple, Velvet Black, Pomegranate, Peachy Apricot |
I really do not know how I feel about the packaging. It looks like a lipgloss. It's a clear tube so that you can see the color and see how much product you have used up. I really did not like the applicator. It could just be my awkwardness, but the applicator made it hard to control the amount of product that ended up on the lids. I could scrap off the sides, but still get a LOAD of color on my eyes. I would just say BE CAREFUL during application.
After I got the amount of product that I wanted on my eyes, you HAVE to work quickly and decided whether you need to blend out the color, or leave it be. After this stuff sets, it is not going ANYWHERE unless you are going to add makeup remover to the mix. So, it holds true to the claim of not budging or smudging UNLESS you do not use a primer and have oily lids. At the end of the day, I still got creasing unless I used a primer beforehand.

The two colors that really were hard to work with were Manganese Purple and Peachy Apricot. The purple took about 3 LAYERS to get an opaque look on the eyes. The bad thing about that is as you build these colors on themselves, they FEEL very heavy and thick on the lids. I do not like FEELING my eyeshadow everytime I blink especially since I have hooded eyelids. The other color I did not really enjoy was Peachy Apricot. No matter WHAT I did, I could NOT get this color to be even on my lids. I tried waiting longer before opening my eyes, different primers, it just creased A LOT and would bunch up on my lids. NOT CUTE! All the other colors were wonderful, and I definitely recommend them.

If you use these products for nothing else, they make a nice base for other eyeshadows! I would just say BEWARE of increase fallout as you press your powder shadows on these!
So have you tried these Shadow Paints by Rimmel? Loved them? Or hated them? Let me know!
Thank always for reading and I hope you found this helpful!
