Constance Carroll Duo Eye (99p!)

Product Description as Advertised:
 ~*~ Gorgeous soft, powder eyeshadow with applicator ~*~
The verdict:
First Impressions:  Since starting my cosmetics reviews, my eyes have truly been opened to all kinds of cosmetics by different brands, different packaging etc, its similar to most things in life – you pay for a brand and a reputation.
With Constance & Carroll I had never really heard of them until I went on C-K and discovered the little gems! The great thing is that they are a UK company and the products are also made in the UK too. But best of all – everything (yes everything) is priced 99p! So you can build up a fantastic collection and make a huge saving.
Application:  I found like with most of my eyeshadows that a small amount of adhesive is needed on your eyelids, I use my Technic shimmersticks.  I feel this makes the colour stronger and last for longer. The colours are strong and the powder is indeed soft and glides on.  The two colours blend really nicely and I was impressed – after still getting to grips of the ‘smoky eye’ look.
Additionally you can utilise the colours with other looks, they don’t have to be used together and separately they still work wonderfully.
My Personal Likes
That is is 99p and is fantastic value, also compact and comes with a handy applicator. 
My Personal Dislikes
You do need to apply a couple of layers to get a decent strength of colour.
It is not widely available in the shops and only online, I reckon they could be huge if their products were widely available.
Ideal if….
You are learning how to blend colours/learning the smoky look/not a fan of spending lots of pennies on make up.
RATING 4/ 5
COSMETIC KINGDOM PRICE: £0.99
