I got this in a BBBE. It's such a beautiful colour and gorgeously metallic. My shade is 710 Caramel Caramel.
As usual, I felt like I was trying to crack the mystery of the universe trying to figure out the container. It turns out there's a brush incorporated into the base, It has corrugation that you push and a brush appears - cute once I found it. And it's quite firm which is helpful.
The product is in the top and can be seen through the plastic lid. It looked awesome. It is opened by a simple screw top.
Applying the product is easy enough. I need to brush some mineral powder over it or it doesn't stay in place, but otherwise it's pretty good. I love that it's nude, as I have, long after the horse has bolted, found nudes - and love them.
Overall a very nice product and at $18 a pretty good price.I would recommend this one to others.
I'm a cream eyeshadow girl through and through. Largely because my eyelids are somewhat oily so I need a primer, but my eyes are irritated by most primers. I've had good success with MAC paint pot and Maybelline Colour Tattoo, they stick well to my lids. With that in mind, I try any and every new cream eye shadow in my price range. I found Revlon Colorstay Creme eyeshadow a little while ago and bought the shades Pistachio (metallic sage green) and Blackcurrant (metallic lilac). They come in a small glass jar, as expected. In the lid of the jar is an applicator brush, which is handy but you do need to keep it clean between uses.
The colours were nice enough - I have fair skin and these were not too heavy, though some would complain they aren't pigmented enough. The formula glides on easily but from there it goes downhill a bit for me. The application can be a bit patchy if you're in a hurry. On my lids I found that the colour creased during the morning, and since I'm not much of a toucher-upper during the day, that pretty much wrote them off for my uses. It's a shame because the colours are really pretty and it's good to have an affordable and easy to find range of cream eyeshadows.
I've rated them that I would 3/5 recommend to a friend because if you don't have hooded lids or the formula is good for your skin, then they're a good product.
