I have a powder eyeshadow my sister bought for me in Spain where she lives. It’s an obscure make and the shade is Sienna.
I wanted to replace it but like most things l like, it is now discontinued!
So today, l took the eyeshadow to Boots and looked at every brand eyeshadow to compare but not one was similar. The ones that might have been close, were a tiny bit in a palette. The other shadows in it, l would never use.
I asked an assistant and she took me to the Lancôme counter. The beautician showed me a single one that was similar. I asked the price and it was £22.50! How much? I knew it would be expensive but that was ridiculous for a tiny pot!
So now l am back to the drawing board. I do have a No7 eyeshadow but it’s too light and it seems to be the darkest they do.
So l ask, am l mean not paying £22.50 for a single eyeshadow?
Would you pay that?
I wouldn’t pay that amount, reason being, I don’t wear eye shadow at my age, I think it looks awful all up the eyelid.on older woman, even on the young girls I don’t like it.
I used to wear it when very young, everyone told me I looked like a clown, did I listen ,did i heck…I now see they were right…
Me neither, good grief…thats extortionate! I have heard of tattoo make up, that would be worth thinking about maybe? I don’t know how they apply it, but its permanent.
The only cosmetics I would consider using come from the ‘Beauty without Cruelty’ range as neither the finished product nor any of the ingredients have been tested on animals.
They do not sell at rip off prices either - eye shadow currently retails at £6.
Nope, not when they’re often included in beauty boxes, etc.
Have you tried looking through supermarket type brands such as bourjois, etc? Might be worth a look in Superdrug.
Pauline, Yet Joanna Lumley looks great and she loads it on! Twiggy and Lulu look good with it on too.
Britt Ekland wears it and she looks great … except she is regretting having her lips enhanced.
It’s how you apply it that matters not your age. We live in a different time now where age doesn’t come into it…unless you allow it.
Clinique is not cruelty-free.
It sells products in markets where animal testing is required by law. And whilst it’s unclear if Clinique itself tests ingredients on animals, it is complicit in pre or post-market animal testing and its suppliers may test on animals too.
Clinique is owned by Estée Lauder and its official animal testing policy is not to test on animals except when required by law. Clinique is sold in mainland China, where animal testing is required by law.
My daughter used to use Clinique products but it brought her face out in rashes. She went to the doctor about it and was advised to discontinue using Clinique products. No rashes after. She just uses cheaper moisturiser now.
Your money, your choice how you spend it. I don’t wear shadow any more but I’d never have spent more than £5 on any colour. Make up, like all these “miracle” face creams, is a huge con IMO. However, I would and do spend a ridiculous amount on perfumes. Each to their own.
