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!

Love how it looks like on your eyelids. I just wish Color Tattoo is available in the local malls. I sometimes have no patience in ordering online ;(
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review!

The color suits you well sis. THought it will only work for highlighting but you proved me wrong. Great application. :) Would love to try the color tattoo too. :)
ReplyDelete@Yette: thanks! I asked before at SM Megamall and they said they are not sure if color tattoo will be released in Manila. I also didn't see it in Hong Kong and Korea so I'm assuming it's not available in Asia :(
ReplyDeletefor the online sellers naman, katakot bumili minsan!
@ Belle: Thanks! I just copied the look from Hollyannaeree :)

ReplyDeleteoh dear.. i think kahit 1k sya worth naman yung price =) haay.. super pretty!
ReplyDelete@ Janet: thanks, it really is a nice shade :)
ReplyDelete@hxero: i super like bad to the bronze too! i also have taupe and I have a love and hate relationship with it. hehe. I read somewhere that the shades released vary per continent or country. Too bad it's not available in Asia at all.
ReplyDelete@ Rhain: well maybe. But i'd rather buy an expensive lipstick than a single eyeshadow of the same price. Unless it's MAC. haha! May exception!
ReplyDeletehihi MAC lippie or NARS =) worth the penny =)
ReplyDeletewow i like! too bad not available here. i think l'oreal has somethng similar, but then again, nde din available dito. sniff
ReplyDelete@ jheng: onga eh sayang not available in Asia! Nakita ko rin yung sa l'oreal pero next time ko naipabili yun kasi matagal mauubos yung 24hr tattoo hehe =)
