Review: Benefit Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow

I was first interested in this product because I heard Sippin’ n Dippin’ was supposed to be a dupe for MAC Rubenesque Paint Pot and knew I had to have it. A while after, I saw Flatter Me swatched online and thought how pretty it looked and wanted to add it to my budding collection of potted cream eyeshadows. When I first bought these, they were £14 each, but they have been re-designed and re-released in new packaging and have gone up in price.
The packaging is like most potted cream eyeshadows. The pot is made of clear glass and has a black plastic air tight twist cap, which has a bird sticker design on the front with the Benefit logo. On the base of the pot is a sticker, which tells you the shade, amount and what it is. You can apply it with a brush or use your finger and the pot is wide enough so that you can use a sponge if you wanted to. The formula is light, soft and creamy and you get 4.5g of product in each glass pot.
Sippin’ n Dippin’ is a chrome peach parfait shade with gold shimmer and Flatter Me is a neutral toasted mauve pink with peach and gold shimmer.
This cream eyeshadow is supposed to glide onto your eye and be crease and budge proof, as well as lasting all day. You should apply it with your finger for a wash of colour or with a brush for intensity. You can also use it as eyeliner and it should glide on and create smooth definition, as well being smudge proof.

I really love this product! The shades I have are beautiful and the texture is so soft, smooth and creamy. It glides onto your lids very well and doesn’t crease or budge. It lasts around eight hours on it’s and own and if you apply eyeshadow over the top of it, it will last a lot longer. You can also use a mix and have this product on your lid and a shadow in the crease and they blend very well together. Other cream products also easily glide over the top and for a wash of colour on your lid, use your finger and if you want a concentrated and intense colour use a flat brush. As eyeliner, it glides on and is smudge proof and looks smooth. I suggest choosing a darker or brighter shade for eyeliner because the two shades I have are not typical eyeliner shades, so won’t work as well!

Overall I LOVE this product so much and I am looking forward to purchasing more shades and getting my hands on the new design. The new glass pot design is like a pearl and it looks very pretty and dainty and very different to the two I currently have.

KALEIDOS Space Age Highlighters #2

When I first heard that KALEIDOS was releasing a new Space Age highlighter, I knew I would be getting it! They have also updated the packaging of all of the highlighter tins and they reformulated Mars Melter. They were re-stocking all of the highlighters on Monday 9 th November 8pm PST, so that was Tuesday 10 th November 4am for me! I stayed up waiting for the website to be live and I finally got my hands on Sky Walker and I also picked up the reformulated Mars Melter and the new Space Age Prophecy of course! There was also a sale on the whole site, I got Mars Melter and Sky Walker for $10.50 (RRP $14.00) each and The Space Age Prophecy for $27.00 (RRP $36.00). I am really surprised they offered a discount for the newest highlighter as it was also the launch date for it and there is only a limited quantity available of this highlighter every week. I was very lucky; I got on the site at 4:01am and was checked out and paid up by 4:03am! I paid $8.00 shipping and my order came to $56.00...
