This was terrible. I bought the one with the black shadow at one end and white shimmer on the other. I like to use the black shadow sticks as a base for my eyeshadows so it can be more intense and smokey. Not only did this BREAK within a few uses, but it left weird smudges on my lids. It was not blendable OR opaque enough. Not impressed and will not repurchase.

I wanted to like it, because I wanted to have trendy smokey eyes. I should have known that something was not going to work when I saw the crayon type applicator. First of all, I am African American and the shadows were very chalky in nature. When trying to apply the smokey element, the crayon broke. The other part was not much better. I looked like a 2 year old had created eyes reminiscent of the go go days of the 60's. I like attention, but it should be subtle and not out there eye shadow. The crayons are just too big to handle effectifely. I turned to Covergirl because of reputation, but I ran right back to Mac

I really don't like saying I hate a product... but I HATE this product.

After seeing various commercials for this dual-ended cream eyeshadow stick, I decided to go to Target and pay the $7.50 for one of them. When I got there, they had every one of the colors on display. And man, I was floored at how pretty they were. I ended up picking out the shade Citrus Flair. Who could resist the total uniqueness of the idea of having a lime-green-and-copper smokey eye? I was so excited for this product. Until I tried it.

First, the commercials claim that the shadows are easy-to-blend, so that anyone can achieve the popular colorful smokey eye. Not really. It was almost impossible for me to blend these shadows without wiping them off, so I ended up looking really strange with two colors on my lid that were totally separate from each other. But I decided to just go with it and went about my day. I noticed that the shadows felt really greasy AND sticky on my eyelids, which is SO not a plus. And after maybe an hour of wear, the shadows were so creased it was amazing. I had a huge, clumpy line of green and brown across my eyelid. I was so disappointed, but I kept my chin up and tried it the next day with some eyelid primer. I had the exact same result as I did the day before. I tried to convince myself that it would be okay, so I wore it a few mores time after that with no such luck.

Interestingly enough, the most recent time I used it, the copper end of the stick BROKE. As in, completely snapped off, even though I didn't have it twisted up very far.

All in all, I was very, very disappointed in this product, considering all of the hype that's been surrounding it. So, if you just happen to have just bought a Smokey Shadow Blast, I would recommend returning it and getting your money back. In my opinion, 7-8 bucks is just too much to spend on something that will be unblendable, crease, and break in the end.

Even after reading the bad reviews about this product, I decided to buy it thinking my magic Urban Decay Primer potion would make it better. This product creases minutes after I put it on. It doesn't have any staying power. The colors were pretty and it was easy to create a smoky look but it's worthless if it won't even stay on for at least an hour!

I am so dissapointed with this product. To be fair, I don't know of many CG products that I've actually liked. I think it's the commercial that got me. Drew Barrymore looks good and it made me want the product.

I purchased it at Shoppers for 7.99 CDN on sale. Regular I think it was 10.99. The price was quite low but I must admit I don't like spending more than 6-8 bucks for drug store labels, especially CG ones since I have such a history of dissatisfaction.

The packaging is in a cardboard backed package, like many CG products. I like the tamper resistant factor, but I also like to hold the product in my hand before I purchase, I am slightly insane when it comes to product purchase, I know. The container is slick, a two sided twisty pen with the shadow on one end and the "liner" (I put this in parenthesis because I'm still unsure as to whether it could actually be called a liner - I would say more of a contouring colour). One thing that was small, but not so great was that the first time I used it I saw a small crack on the rim of the lids to one of the ends. Not enjoyable as one of my pet peeves with products with the dual dispensers is that the packaging breaks and then the product is finished. So it's looking like in the next month one of the lids for one side of my Shadowblast isn't going to fit and therefore get lost.

The performance of this product is one of my main complaints about CG products. It doesn't apply well. Not enough pigmentation so you have to go back and forth, back and forth to get some colour. As I mentioned earlier in this review, the "liner" side, isn't really a liner. It's a contouring secondary colour. This product would actually perform better if a kohl liner was used in conjunction with this. I never actually got a real "smoky" eye - more just silverish eyeshadow.

The wear of this product is just like another complaint I usually have about CG prodcuts. It doesn't wear well. It creases and travels and I felt the need to reapply and wipe under my eyes at noon.

Overall my satisfaction with this product is non-existent. I shall try a couple of other application techniques in the following days and update my post. But it's not looking good........

I was very disappointed that this product did not work well, as Covergirl advised on the packaging and the information I received with a sample of it. I tried the Silver Sky/Onyx Smoke (black and white) combo. It is a cream eye shadow stick that is supposed to be a quick easy way to get a "professional' smoky eye look. The product wouldn't glide across my clean eye lid well, and broke off (both ends!) I had to stick it back in the tube and try again. I tried it on clean skin, then again on clean skin with a light coat of moisturizer, and a third time with a light coat of eyeshadow primer - to see if I could get it to apply evenly ---each time it would not. It looked very blotchy and uneven. I hate to say this, but it felt like halloween store makeup - looked awful and I would definitely not wear this in public. I would maybe use the Onyx (Black) as eye liner but that is about it. It was just awful. I am curious though---if brown shades would look better? Not sure though, since I tried it 3 separate times/ways and had poor results. I would not recommend this product. Sorry Covergirl - because I really like your mascara, powder eyeshadows, lip glosses, etc!

This product does not live up to what its supposed to do. I can do a better smokey eye with make up from the dollar store. The black barely shows up, and within and hour or so, because its cream, it cakes up in the wrinkles of your eyelids... i dont recommend this.

Smoky ShadowBlast is a double-sided eye shadow stick. One side is the light colour with a fat tip, the other side is the dark colour with a thin tip. You use the light colour form lashline to brow bone, and the dark colour on the lashline and in your eyelid crease. It comes in few colour varieties, but I bought it in Onyx which was pearly white on one side and black on the other because I wanted a classic smokey look.

My first complaint was the shadow is VERY dry. It did not blend well at all, even after applying an eye shadow primer.

The 2nd complaint is that once I got the eye shadow to look decent, it only last a couple of hours before creasing majorly (again, even with the use of an eye shadow primer that has worked every other time I've used it).

This product made my eyes look smokey for a very short time. Smoky ShadowBlast failed big time.
