This is a very sparkly but blendable eyeshadow. I wouldn't call this metallic but more of a wash of glitter. Although I liked the plum shade, the glitter was just too overwhelming to wear as a shadow. However, I did find that a good use for this product was when I lined my lower lash line, it gave just amount of colour and sparkle without being overwhelming which was perfect for nights out on the town!
I received this from Chick Advisor for review purposes- thanks Chick Advisor!
I received the shade #06 Plum, and it's a gorgeous metallic purple with a smokey gray undertone. The pencil creamy and smooth to apply and blend as both shadow and liner, but I prefer to use it as liner. Why? The glitter. I can totally get behind glitter every now and then, but this has a lot of glitter in it. So much so, that this shade just wouldn't be wearable for most day time uses as shadow. When used as liner however, this is pretty much perfect as the shimmer is less intense, but still gives a little something something to eye looks. I found this wears really well, as it sets nicely and doesn't crease throughout the day. When applying it, you have plenty of time to blend it before it sets- I found a finger worked best to blend edges, as a brush made the glitter stray to places I didn't want it- but once it is set it stays there until removed. Overall, great as a liner, just a bit too glitter for me to use as shadow unless I'm using it for a night look.
Out of all of the items I received as part of the GOSH product review package this was my least favourite. I found that the eyeshadow went on easily, gliding across my eye but even with a thick dull tip I found it a bit difficult to get it exactly where I wanted it. I also did not like all of the glitter/sparkles in this eyeshadow. I applied a small amount while getting dressed for work and had to eliminate a lot of it as I wasn't expecting that much glitter. Not suited for a daytime look.
I wasn't a huge fan of the GOSH Forever Eyeshadow Stick. I found it to be to "wet" .. I used to essentially to line my lashes a little thicker before putting on some black liner. It was pretty, but not the look I would go for, or use on my entire lid.
It'll be great as a highlight on my lids for a night out, but not for daily use for me.
Didn't like it at all. It was way to sparkly. The color as nice but it had too much glitter. Would use if it wasn't that much glittery.
Smooth and quick application with a strong colour. Very easy application which was nice. It is creamy so it smudged a bit when I wore it and has sparkles/glitter in it that spread to areas around my eyes. I would prefer it if it didn't have the sparkles/glitter.
I received the Forever Eyeshadow Stick #06 as part of the product review club.
I have to say, I wasn't all that impressed with this shadow stick. Applying it, it was far too thick (even when I tried to go easy.) It wasn't easy to smudge or blend with my other shadows to tone it down and I didn't absolutely love the colour. The only plus is, I did like the little shimmer/sparkle it gave my eyes. That said, I wouldn't buy this product and put it in my regular rotation. I am going to stick to the shadows I already use.
