I was starting to get a bit low on my regular eye shadow so on a recent trip to town nipped into Superdrug to stock up on some more. With our wedding in a few weeks time most of our money is going towards that so I didn't really want to spend out loads of money on new eye shadow so shopped around for the best price, I'm not too fussy what brand of eye shadow I use so was looking for the cheapest option really but in colours which I like to wear. I noticed that Superdrug have started to do their own range of make up called 2 True, they have a range of different products which are all reasonably priced one of these products included eye shadow, the shades they had ...  Read the complete review

This eyeshadow is available in Superdrug, it costs £1.99 or you can choose any 3 for £5 from the 2true range. It comes in black packaging lke on the picture, I think it is quite plain packaging that looks a bit cheap. It has a small applicator inside so this is useful to carry around. The applicator is quite small with a curved handle, although I usually use a seperate brush to apply it, it is quite handy to have a spare in the box. It has a small sponge end and though it isn't as good as a brush it still gives a good result. The eyeshadow is easy to apply, it isn't flaky so it doesn't go everywhere when you try to get it on the brush. It goes on soothly and ...  Read the complete review

2True eyeshadow is available in Superdrug for £1.99, but is alos part of a full time promotion where you can choose any 3 items for £4.99 from the range. The eyeshadow is packaged in a black oval container with a clear viewfinder to help you find the colour you are looking for and also a convenient applicator (I don't use this as I prefer using a brush). Yes this is helpful, but it is bulky too! The eyeshadow is matte and is very smooth on your eyeshadow. The colours are pigmented meaning a little will easily go a long way but they are also easily blended, or layered. The lasting power all depends on the colour. I have found with the ...  Read the complete review

Not usually being one for budget beauty products, I saw this range in Superdrug and couldn't resist the bargain 3 products for £5 deal on offer. The product is nicely packaged with a sleek black case that looks more expensive than it actually is - in fact the whole range is quite nicely designed and you don't feel you are getting a basic budget buy. It somes with a mini applicator that does the job adequately. The eyeshadow itself is reasonable quality, but I found the texture rather sludgy - it lacks the depth of a more expensive version and I found it very hard to blend in. However, it does provide a good shot of dark brown colour which lasts for most of the day ..  Read the complete review

I have tried so many budget products, which seem to be emerging at a rapid rate in the credit crunch, and on 3 for £5 these really are a bargain. They come in a range of colours, plenty for creating a variety of looks. The colour pay off isn't actually as bad as you would imagine, I was pleasantly surprised. I bought these in both black and navy and they went on smoothly and they actually, for budget products blend pretty well- something that, for me, is really important in a product. They are also ideal if you are a parent putting together party bags for a girls party, or if your daughter wants to have a play with make up. If you want to try a ...  Read the complete review
