All this time, I thought Stila's Kitten is the best-selling beige eyeshadow - until I saw Allure Magazine featuring the best of 2011.
The best-selling beige eyeshadow was not Kitten.. but.. Benefit's Creaseless Cream Shadow in Birthday Suit! This was honestly a shocker for me.
I've had this cream shadow since last year but I only started using it late last year, around November if I remember correctly. I started to use it to see what the fuzz was all about and why it was hailed as the best-selling beige eyeshadow. It's gotta be that good, right?

watch the video to see how it looks once applied on lids!
Birthday Suit does not have a lot of difference from Kitten. The color looks almost the same. Birthday Suit is just a little darker. Since Birthday Suit is cream based, I'm not sure if foiling will change its opacity like what foiling does to powder eyeshadows. However, you can still pack on this eyeshadow by applying more to your lids. Not a problem. Another good thing about Birthday Suit is that there is no need to worry of fall out upon application since it's cream. For me, this is easier to apply to lids than Kitten or any powder eyeshadow for that matter. A little goes a long way, so you don't need to worry about you running out of this eyeshadow immediately.
I like this product and I would probably buy this again once I finish mine - which will probably take me years though. I just hope they release a small palette of cream shadows because I don't really like taking single shadows with me.
Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow is sold at Benefit Store at Greenbelt 5 and Rustan's Shangri-la for PhP1,000.
Happy Friday, loves!

It's quite expensive for a single shadow, no? But nevertheless, I'm sure I'll troop to Benefits when I visit Manila. Hehe. I wanted to try Kitten but the Stila stall here in Rustan's Cebu doesn't have it on stock for the longest time.

ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of Benefits cosmetic but haven't able to try this one. The color is really pretty but the price is quite expensive for just a single eyeshadow >_<
