17 Metallic Eyes Review

Another quick little review for you guys on the 17 Wild Metallic Cream Eyeshadow in Green from Boots. I found this in my local Boots shop, however I can't seem to find it online so I don't know if it has been discontinued. I bought mine in this Golden/Green sort of colour and because I bought this at the same time I bought the SEVENTEEN Phwoarr Paint and I had spent a certain amount of money on SEVENTEEN products, it meant that I got a free eyebrow kit so it's not all doom and gloom!

Pros:
- Reasonably priced at roughly the same price as the Maybelline Colour Tattoo.
- Pretty decent sized pot.
- Lovely colour, love the green/gold thing.
- Packaging is alright, however I'm not a big fan of the whole cheetah print thing.
- Easily available in lots of Boots stores.
- Application is easy, dip your finger in and swipe it over your lids, or use a brush.

Cons:
- Way too creamy. Almost a mousse like texture.
- Does not last and creases almost instantly.
- Not very pigmented on application.
- Due to the lack of staying power, it's pretty much unusable.
- If it's the same price as the Famous Colour Tattoo, why not just buy that as it's a thousand times better.

Now, I don't know whether or not it's just my particular product which is this mousse like texture and it's a fault or what, but I genuinely can't use it as it just doesn't last. It's too thin and doesn't set after any amount of time so just sits there on your lids until it rubs or melts off which is ridiculous. Thoroughly disappointed in this product and would not encourage you to go out and purchase it! Such a shame as it could be such a beautiful eyeshadow :(
