I've always liked cream eyeshadows because they are pigmented, easy to apply (most of the time), and a little product goes a long way. Most importantly, for some odd reason, cream eyeshadows crease less on my lids than a normal eyeshadow powder would.
So, when I saw from Temptalia.com that Maybelline released cream eyeshadows, I knew I had to get my hands on them! I am so in love with my Benefit Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow but the price is kind of steep since a pot costs PhP1,000. Maybelline costs about half of that once converted to PhP (including tax).

This look was inspired by Holly-annaeree's look. Although hers was way better, of course. I didn't make the eyeliner thicker and I didn't apply false eyelashes because I was just in the office that day.
Pros:
- pigmented
- a little goes a long way
- really creamy so it's so easy to apply
- really adheres to your lids even without a primer
- no creasing on lids
- comes in several shades
- affordable (around USD10 max for each pot)
Cons:
- not locally available (though you may try your luck with online sellers)
Too Cool reminds me of Urban Decay's eyeshadow in Polyester Bride but in cream form, of course. It does have glitters/shimmers but once applied on the lids, it's not that obvious unless you pack on it. This cream eyeshadow is also good as a base color for your other eyeshadows to make the color pop even more!
I definitely recommend this and I would definitely repurchase once I empty the pot!
By far, this is the best Maybelline product I have ever tried! Best!
