April’s Fave Freebie – Eyeko Fat Eye Stick

On the newsagent racks this month, it’s InStyle that has me raiding the piggy bank for the best cover-mounted beauty freebie. It is offering a choice of four Eyeko make-up products with its May edition, including this Fat Eye Stick I selected here.

If you don’t fancy the eye stick, though, these are the other three Eyeko items to choose from: eyelash curlers (they’re pretty good - the last You Beauty advent calendar I bought featured a set); a skinny liquid liner; and eye make-up remover wipes.

The products have a total value of £41. So, pick up all four and you could save yourself £25.04 on the combined RRP! InStyle carries a £3.99 cover price.

Eyeko Fat Eye Stick in Smoke is a beautiful shimmery dark silver shadow. The colour is intense and the texture soft and creamy, making it a dream of a product to both apply and blend. I smudged it for a smoky look, which it delivers with a striking glossy finish.

I love shimmery shadows. They reflect the light and so help to open up the eyes. I think them incredibly flattering, no matter what your age. I don’t hold with the view that once you head over 30 it’s time to retire the glittery, shimmery eye look!

This really is a fabulous freebie. A decent size too at 4g. Plus there’s a 20% off any Eyeko product promotion running (until 30th April) with InStyle, though I'll give you the code in case you can't get a copy! Enter INSTYLE20 at the checkout!
