Hi Hi Hi! Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry for not posting after I made a big stink over how I was going to start posting regularly again. I am back and better than ever.
Today I have a quickie review on Benefit's creaseless cream shadow (Or so it says...)
Ok so on black friday (that feels like ages ago, wow does time fly), I went to Ulta and totally stocked up on all of their doorbusters (which some are still available and cheaper!) and one of their deals was all of Benefit's eyeshadows and lipsticks were 50% off! Also, I believe they had a cream blush, but I swatched it and didn't like the shade. Anyway, I was psyched because I had seen some of my favorite beauty bloggers rave about the creaseless cream shadows and they looked so pretty online. I decided that I would just pick up the one shade that I knew I would wear the most, because I have way too much makeup(who am I kidding, you can never have enough), and the shade I picked up was called RSVP.
So it comes in this really cute but totally impractical packaging made out of printed cardboard. The actual product is inside the "tube" with a compact-like packaging

Inside there's a really cute looking eyeshadow encased in a thick plastic covering and a white exterior (it looks like a muffin tin right? or a pie crust?) The shade itself is shown online as very peachy but in real life it's a light champagne color with a light tinge of pink.
So I'll just be blunt here, it creased. I was beyond disappointed when it creased not even two minutes later. The color payoff was beautiful and the little shimmer it did have showed up. The color was gorgeous but I tried to apply the shadow with a flat brush that I always use for packing on shadow but it applied better with my finger or even a sponge tip applicator.
Overall, I thought it was OK, I think that the NYX shadow sticks do a much better job and have the some of the same shades and texture. I do think for a product that said it wouldn't crease, the fact that it did was really disappointing and may have affected my view of the product. But, if it's ten dollars, it's not bad, just maybe not for me.
Have any of you tried it and if so what's your opinion on it? Leave your answer in the comments below!
