Miss Sporty Liquid Eye Shadow

Tuesday, November 4, 2008
Miss Sporty just released their 'Be Connected' range. They consist of (24ml) mini liquid eye shadows and lipglosses. They cost £.199 per end and you can click the eye shadows together with the lipglosses. This is very handy for popping into your handbag as it saves space by having two items in one stick instead of two in this case. I didn't need anymore lipglosses so I went for two of the liquid eye shadows instead. (However you can't click two eye shadows together)

They claim to last up to 10 hours and also claim to be crease resistent.

Swatches


Left: 'Allure'

Right: 'Sublime'




Texture:

The texture is as expected for liquid shadows. Almost like a thin-ish mixing medium (think a thin-ish liquid foundation kind of texture) feel to them. Applying them with the wand is best as using your finger causes bad colour pay-off.

Pigmentation(Colour Pay-Off
):

Really good. If you use your finger to apply these shadows you'll have to work a little to get the colour to show up but if you use the wand you'll find it shows up immediately and strongly. A very compact brush (a concealer brush for example) is okay at applying these shadows.

Scent:


The shadows have no scent

Lasting Power:

I put these on in the morning before I went to uni and they went on smoothly and had no creasing. The colour lasted all day and the shadow itself stayed put all day. However, they did crease up on me almost immediately after drying. This may have had something to do with the base I used (I used a cream base each time) so I will try them with UDPP (Urban Decay Primer Potion) in the near future and update this section to see how they worked out with that. This was the only disappointing element to these shadows.

Blendability:

You can blend powdered shadows around these and over the top fairly easily but because they are liquid shadows they don't work as well for blending as powdered shadows. The shadow will dry up and stick to the skin and once it has dried you can only remove it and not really move it around.

Removing:


I take off my makeup using baby wipes with a little baby oil on them and these came off in one or two quick swipes :)
