Essence eyeshadow primer/base review!

Hey all! ;)

I am off sick today with tonsilites and thought i would do a review on my essence eyeshadow base.

I have been looking for an eyeshadow primer for ages and i really wanted the elf eyelid primer but everytime i went on their wesite it has been sold out :o which isn't a surprise considering it is the most loved item on their website. Then i found out that MUA from superdrug did one that was £2.50, so as you do i went on the internet looking for reviews on it and what i found out wasn't too pleasing but then i found some really good reviews, so with mixed oppinions i headed for youtube, which i now am not allowed on because i have managed to go over my usage limit which i did not no was even possible! But there u go. I finnally decided that i would go and get it but every superdrug i went to it was sold out! Then i was in my local chemist last monday getting my tablets for my tonsilites and i went over to the essence stand (my chemist is the only place near me that has essence and the only other place i have seen it is in Gran Canaria on holiday) I was looking at the new items in and i came accross this eye base and was like "i have to get it"!

So i did! It is called the' i <3 stage eyeshdow base'. So far i am really likeing it allthough i have only used it twice. My first impressions of it are a bit funny because in the shop there was no tester so i just opend it and the colour looked fine but when i got out and opened it in natural daylight it looked ORANGE! :O! So i tested it on my hand and although it was slighty not my colour i new it would be okaay whenever i applied my eyeshadow. (panic attack over!) Whenever you use it, its really creamy and blends in well. The first time i used it i used it with my benefit velvet eyeshadow in leggy and it was also the first time that i had used that eyeshdow. although whenever i use glitter eyeshadows i notice that most of the glitter is gone and you can hardly see it by the time i leave the house, i was hoping that this would last longer anyway since it was benefit, i dont buy benefit because it is to expensive but i had won this in a competation with coke. Hence the reason i have it. But i was AMAZED at how well this worked, considering it was my first eye primer i have ever owned or used.

This is an AMAZING primer and i would DEFINATELY reccomend this to anyone looking for a new eyeshadow primer/base. ;)
