Written by Tas Choudhury in Makeup, Product reviews
B. is a recently launched makeup and skincare range, exclusive to Superdrug. I’ve previously had a play with the Complete Eyeshadow Palette and thought it was so-so.
What I was really drawn in by were their cream shadows (you can never have too many!), the B. Stunning Vibrant Eye Shimmer.
I’ve been playing around with them for a while now. Here’s my tuppence.
Price: £6.99
Weight/ volume: not disclosed (how annoying!)
Shades: 8
My shades: (clockwise from top left) Bittersweet 064, Moonshine 182, Copper 057, Poseidon 098, Golden Sand 097, Graphite 190, Royal 146 (centre)
Features: shimmery cream eyeshadow
Purchased/ sample: purchased
Sales blurb:
B. Stunning is a luxurious cream eyeshadow that gives an intense, metallic finish, a must-have addition to your makeup bag… Long-lasting finish which won’t ball or crease throughout the day.
+ Creamy consistency ensures really smooth application (except Golden Sand and Moonshine).
+ Easily blended together without streaking.
– Patchy finish on Gold/ silver glitter shades and so they’re not suitable for all-over colour.
My favourites are Poseidon (green), Graphite (dark steely grey), Copper, and Bittersweet. These colours are just beautiful against any eye colour.
Poseidon & Graphite: The left pic and first two on the right are daywear looks, with the bottom. right being a heavier metallic party look.
Top: Bittersweet & Royal. Bottom: Poseidon & Graphite.
Yay or nay
Yay but the gold/ silver shades are best used on tear ducts as highlight as they’re not creamy enough for smooth application over the lids.

I am interested in buying a dark blue and lighter blue shade of B stunning products. Could you please assist. I loved your golden sands. I wonder if you are making a 4 range tone of this golden color to create an eye pattern on the eye. It would look nice. darker shade on the outer eye then lighter to darker towards the lid.
Yours sincerely,

Hi, is it an eye tutorial that you’d like using these 4 shades? If so, I’ll try and get one up after the holidays.
