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.

HUDA BEAUTY Purple Haze Obsessions Palette

I’ve previously only tried one HUDA BEAUTY mini palette before, but this one really caught my eye. I almost bought the Khaki version too. I eventually decided on only picking up the purple one as I wasn’t massively impressed with the Topaz Obsessions Palette I previously tried.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is made of translucent purple plastic and it is square shaped. It just has the palette branding across the front in place of a design and it has a clip closing, which you lift up to reveal the square eyeshadow pans arranged in threes across an opaque matte purple base. The eyeshadows do not have names. There is also a little mirror on the underside of the lid. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get nine 0.64g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Metallic (ME) and Shimmery Topper (ST) finishes.   ·          Smokey Shades ·          Buttery Mattes ·          Intense Metal...

Serial Sampler #42

I have wanted to try this fragrance for a very long time and I have seen the advertisements with Charlize Theron countless times over the years. For some reason, I just didn’t look for it to test so I thought it was about time I did. I decided to purchase a sample online.   It is J’adore by Christian Dior and it is a 1ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.   “ J’adore’s original composition is a sophisticated harmony blossoming from Comoro Islands Ylang-Ylang and Damascus Rose Essences and Jasmine Sambac Absolute. ” Launched: 1999   Type: Floral Fruity / Feminine Notes Top: Pear, Melon, Magnolia, Peach, Mandarin Orange and Bergamot. Middle: Jasmine, Lily-Of-The-Valley, Tuberose, Freesia, Rose, Orchid, Plum and Violet. Base: Musk, Vanilla, Blackberry and Cedar. My assumption before testing this fragrance is that it would smell like an old classic (old lady) floral. It is very floral, but you do get the hit of the fresh fruity notes. I can mostly detect the Magnoli...
