Thrifty Thursday: Calvin Klein Tempting Glimmer Sheer Creme Eyeshadow

Evening my loves!

So it's 4 days until payday. Monday seems so long away. As always though I've been getting slight beauty withdrawals, I found myself aimlessly wandering around Superdrug picking out things that I'll be buying come payday. To ease the symptoms I made a little trip to the good old pound shop today. It's cheap and cheerful and at least I'd be able to find something new to try.

And here was my purchase; Calvin Klein Tempting Glimmer Sheer Creme Eyeshadow in Vinyl Black. Being Calvin Klein the packaging is as sleek and simple as you'd expect, nothing special for people like me who like something a bit different but very pretty nonetheless

The description I've found for this is as follows: "Single creamy, velvety eye shadow Offers high shine, high impact color Lightweight & extra-smooth finish No creasing or fading for long wear."

First of all the colour of this is great, it is sheer but it's so buildable if you wanted that super black colour. What I like about this is that you can basically create a smokey eye with just the one shade by building the colour in the corners and blending inwards

(Top to bottom: with flash, without flash)

This colour would definitely go a lot darker than I had it but having light eyes I'm not a fan of anything too dark but if that's the look you wanted this product would work. As you can see in the above pictures, this has settled into the crease of my eye but this was after a couple of hours wear and without a primer and it really isn't as obvious as it seems in the second picture.

Overall I'd say it's a pretty good product, I don't often go for a smokey eye but I'll definitely be reaching for this when I do.

So that's my fix for now, now it's just time to count down the days til the new Barry M launch in stores!

Have you had any bargain finds lately?
