Fast forward a few years to this year's summer hols. I found a shop in Florence and bought three cream shadow sticks. They are amazing. I can do a smokey eye in less than two minutes and the colours stay put. Admittedly, I do wear a primer.
POSITIVES
• Creamy consistency – it applies smoothly and does not pull at the eye lid at all.
• Applies evenly.
• Does not need much blending.
• Pen shape means that it's easy to apply colour to the crease.
• Base colour/highlight colour is not too sparkly but does brighten.
NEGATIVES
• Darker colour a bit glittery but not enough to be an issue.
It was such a shame that the staff in the Florence Kiko were rude. Rossana was clearly having a bad day! She lightly threw cotton pads that I had used to remove make up swatches at me and gestured towards a bin that I had not seen. When I apologised for my dappiness, she just stared at me and then when giving me my change, she rolled her eyes and looked away.... meanwhile I scrambled to gather my change. I doth believe that she is not a morning person! Quite frankly, it was pure comedy.
However, Rossana aside, I will be looking at more shades and am likely to buy them up. Currently, they are the only eye shadows that I'm using. Full marks to Kiko. Hurrah all round.
