Summer Love: KIKO's Long Lasting Stick Eyeshadow

As I mentioned in my lifestyle-ish kind of post yesterday I want to get a bit more serious with my posts, meaning I want to start posting more regularly and stop being a lazy arse, so a few days ago I found myself thinking of ways that could help me stick to blogging. What could that be... Yes, that's right! I'm starting a summer series to talk about all the products I have been/am loving at the moment. Basically those products that don't make me feel like my face is melting in the sun.  

I'm not following any specifical order since I might find new products I want to talk about along the way, so I'm starting this series with something that has quickly become one of my favourite eye products ever: KIKO's Long Lasting Stick Eyeshadows.

The first stick eyeshadow I bought (back in early 2012 I believe!) was a silver shade with blue undertones and it's something I've used quite a lot over the past year on nights out since it looks great both as an eyeshadow base, for smokey eyes and such, as well as on its own. It's not really a versatile shade though as I don't really like to use it in the daytime because I feel like it's definitely too much but since its formula seemed to work so well and it's a product I find myself reaching out for whenever I'm going out, why not pick a shade that I knew I'd use more?

I'm totally a neutrals girl when it comes to my eyes so I went back and picked it up in Shade 7 Golden Beige, which has ended up becoming my favourite eyeshadow. It claims to remain "uniform and and radiant for up to 8 hours, without streaking or smudging", quite a big statement to make, but it is absolutely true. One would think that being outside in the summer when it's like 35ºC your eyeshadow could end up all over your face, but this one doesn't even crease unless you've had it on forever, then you might start seeing signs of creasing or a bit of shimmer underneath your eyes. 

As I said about the other stick eyeshadow, it can be used either on its own or you can mix and match as you please with other eye products. My favourite combos at the moment are with Sleek's Mineral Earth or Moss, both from their Au Naturel palette, depending on how dramatic you want your look to be. I must say it looks amazing when applied on your inner corner - it really does make your eyes pop! If you're not that into shimmery eye products, you can always use a mate eyeshadow to make it a bit more wearable for you.

So what do think? Have you tried any creamy eye products? Did you like it or do you prefer regular eyeshadows?

Have a nice day :)
