I am a fan of Rimmel. I love their eyeliners, and I am a fan of the eyeshadows. So when I saw Rimmel Stir It Up Cream Eyeshadow in Sure, I decided to buy it. I was attracted to the purple with pink paint splats, and the generous coating of glitter over that.

The first thing I noticed when using the eyeshadow is that the glitter is only on the top. To me that’s misleading. A lot of what attracted me to the eyeshadow was the packaging and glitter. I love glitter. So seeing that it was only a glaze on top made me feel cheated. Also, the pink that was on top was, like the glitter, only on top. I guess the purpose of the “Stir It Up” eyeshadow is to stir everything up and wear it mixed together.

The resulting color is a plum with a light metallic pink sheen, with a few sparkles here and there. It looks nice, but it doesn’t last. Despite applying a thin layer of foundation beforehand, and applying the eyeshadow itself evenly, it creased and gunked up in the creases within an hour after application.
