Review | Essence 3D Eyeshadow

Quite a while back now (like, over a year ago) I picked up one of Essence's 3D Eyeshadows in the shade 08 'Irresistible Vanilla Latte', a duo which consists of a shimmery white/cream and a warm metallic gold. I've worn it intermittently since and I have no idea why I haven't already reviewed it...
"3D duo eyeshadow, irresistible effects and long-lasting texture. Apply wet for an even more intense effect." Applied dry, the pigmentation is unfortunately quite naff; using a damp brush, however, you get something pretty special. The creamy white shade has a beautiful shimmer to it which makes me look wide-awake, whilst the gold just warms the eye are up really nicely. It's hard to describe but I really like the way these shadows look on my eyes for a simple, everyday look. I've found this duo lasts really well, easily managing around nine hours without a primer.
Essence 3D Eyeshadows are available in the UK from Wilko's at the bargain price of £2.80; I really think this is a great buy as they're really pretty shadows. There are a few shades available so you could even mix-and-match shades between them if you picked up more than one! Have you tried Essence's 3D Eyeshadows? What's your favourite Essence product?
