Rimmel states Glam'Eyes Mono Eye Shadow is a 'soft, silky formula for smooth and intense colour' and it is 'long-lasting' without 'creasing or fading'. I always buy eyeshadows in gold as I generally wear a smoky eye using a black and blending them together in the middle. I was desperately in need of a gold colour and my time of buying this eyeshadow and thought this would be perfect!
Shade #180 - Gold Rush
Unfortunately this eyeshadow left much to be desired. The colour itself is hardly pigmented at all (as you can see from the swatches at the bottom, it barely shows up on my skin) and looks more glittery and shimmery rather than having an actual eyeshadow to work with. Intense is definitely not the word I'd use to describe the colour - rather lacklustre. It definitely didn't last very long either and seemed to have disappeared after just 2 hours, although it didn't blend very well in the first place!
I definitely won't be using Rimmel again, I've had difficulties with their eyeshadows before and won't be going back.

Good for: Adding subtle colour to eyes
Bad for: A long-lasting, pigmented colour to make eyes stand out

Great review! I was thinking about picking some of these up, but I think I'll pass.
