Max Factor Smoky Eye Effect Eyeshadow Stick Review - Bronze Haze

Max Factor Smoky Eye Effects - Bronze Haze £7.99
I got this Smoky Eye Effect Eyeshadow from Max Factor a few years ago and I've never really used it much.  This shade is Bronze Haze, It consists of a well pigmented, dark shimmery cream eye shadow on one end and a light bronze cream eye shadow on the other.  I decided to give this one a go today and see how it looked.

I found this one really difficult to apply, and that's probably why I stopped using it.  The problem was that when you apply it it needs blending, but as soon as you try to blend it the pigmentation just disappears and your left with barely any eye shadow left on your lids.  For a dual eyeshadow this took me about 15 minutes to apply and I still wasn't happy with the end result.  Baring in mind that I don't normally spend more than 5 minutes applying eyeshadow, I found this really disappointing.

This eyeshadow creases really quickly, I've had it on for less than 5 hours and it's already so creased that I have no product left on my lids, just a really dark line across my crease.  Considering that I used an eyeshadow primer, I expected it to last a lot longer than this.  I don't like writing bad reviews but the only thing good about it is that I think the packaging is handy.  I've got 2 more of these in different colours, hopefully they'll be better.

Princess points:1/5
I found this difficult to apply and it creased really badly after just 5 hours of wear.  I usually really like Max Factor products, but sadly this one just isn't for me.
