Lately I feel like By Terry's Cream Shadow Sticks (30€/$43/£28) are getting more and more attention and hyped up on blogs and youtube.
I think I've first got interested in those golden pen-like beauties because of Amelia Liana, both her youtube channel and blog. She was talking about this product so convinced and excited that I had to give at least one colour a go! By the way, I really really recommend her blog and channel, she knows what she's talking about :)
So I did start with her favorite Bronze Moon and it has absolutely blown me away, it's sooooo good!
... Blond Opal and Misty Rock had to follow cause these colours are right up my alley, neutral and wearable on a daily basis!

| By Terry Ombre Blackstar in 03 Blond Opal - packaging |
The packaging is quite unspectacular but beautiful to look at. I's completely golden with the decription on it and a stripe showing the shade. It comes in the standard By Terry box...
Now, on to the shades I own - let's let the photos speak for themselves:

Staying power:
This stuff has an amazing staying power! Just for reference: The swatches on my arm still were there on the next day and I had to remove them with an eye makeup cleanser!!!
On my eyelids it didn't smudge or move - I have quite normal lids, in this time of the year they're are more on the oily side. Just for being on the safe side I would prime the eyelids with a good primer like the Urban Decay Primer Potion or Nars Pro Prime...

Shades:
03 Blonde Opal is a shimmery peachy gold shade which has a gorgeous sheen to it. It does remind me a lot of MAC Nylon eyeshadow and works great as an inner corner highlight. In texture it's a bit harder to work with than the other two shades, it's somehow not as smooth when applied and stiffer in consistency, but don't get me wrong, these shadows are generally all heavenly smooth and easy to work with - this particulary one just needs a tiny bit more effort than the others.
04 Bronze Moon is my favorite go-to bronzy shade and the favorite of the bunch! It's extremy smooth and glides on to the eyelids and blends like a dream. This one is definitly a great smoky eye option for days when you don't want to spend ages for your makeup and just are on a hurry - it's fool-proof and effortless!
The shade is best decribed as a perfect bronze-taupy-brown: not too warm and bronzy, not too cool and chocolaty. It definitly has some taupe and silver iridescence to it.
05 Misty Rock is also great in texture, the only downside could be the high amount of shimmer (almost glitter) in it. It's a beautiful pinky bronze color with a coppery and silvery shimmer to it. It's very similar to Tom Ford's Cream Color for Eyes in Pink Haze shadewise, which was limited, so that would be great alternative!

Bottom line:
I think these eyeshadow sticks are the best on the market and despite the high price point worth the money! They are effortless and fool-proof to apply and work with. You can also easily build the colors without patchiness. The product itself is so highly pigmented that you won't run out easily, which maybe can justify the price ;)
Another plus is that these shadows have an awesome staying power, so I can do 100% recommend these and will purchase myself a few other shade for sure!
The only downside is the poor shade range, but let's hope that By Terry brings out new shades every now and then...
Love,
D.
