After hearing every beauty YouTuber rave about the By Terry Ombre BlackStar eyeshadow sticks, I was eager to purchase some but with their expensive price tag, that was a no go. But I didn't lose hope, as I'd heard the Kiko Long Lasting Eye Shadow Sticks were a great dupe and at £6.90 & 30% off in the new Brighton store, I wasn't going to say no!
'Long Lasting' is an understatement. I had a million and one swatches on my hand when I left the store, but obviously I had no make up remover on me! After two washes, with hot soap and water, they. would. not. budge. I had to really rub at the to get them off my hand, yet with make up remover they come off like a dream. So no harsh rubbing on your eyes!
The shades that really caught my eye were 05 - Rosy Brown and 07 - Golden Beige - a rose gold and a bright white gold. Shimmery and ever so beautiful. They're super easy to apply and you don't have to be too neat with the initial application as you can use a brush to blend. Unfortunately the shade that doesn't blend very well is 07, but as it's my favourite, I'm persistent and I make it work! That shade really makes your eyes pop!

With the amazing shades and great price tag, they're definitely a good addition to your make up collection if you're not wanting to splash out on high end brands!
Ooo I definitely want to pick a couple of these up, they sound amazing for the price!
