Advantages: lasts long time, doesn't crease

Disadvantages: too bold

For some reason, the idea of liquid eyeshadow really excited me, so when I heard about this product I rushed out to buy it, as I am a fan of Bourjois makeup anyway. Their products are of a high quality I feel, and not overly pricey for the luxurious feel of their make up.

The eyeshadow comes in a little clear pot, with a bright metallic sticker declaring the name of the product. To apply, you unscrew the lid and then have to remove the little applicator, which is a bit unusual and I'm not sure there is much point in this. The pot is a good idea though, as it prevents spillage.

As a liquid, I expected the shadow to take ages to dry, but actually it is very impressive, drying in just a few seconds. Also, as it a liquid, it is not prone to creasing as powder shadows are and this stays on all evening, which is great. It comes in a range of colours, from gold, to silver, to blue. But beware! The colours are VERY bright. I have the electric blue colour and I fear I look a bit like a circus performer in it, so don't wear it a lot. This is a shame, as it is a very good shadow in terms of staying power etc, but feel it is a bit bold for me, and is definitely only an evening shadow. And it's pricey: around £6.99 for a 8.5ml pot.
