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.

Perfume Power! - Harajuku Lovers 'G'

I received this perfume as an Easter gift from a family member. The bottle design is really cute. It has a doll figure cap, which lifts off and the actual bottle is clear and simple glass, it kind of has a flower shaped base. The size I have is very small, so it is handy for your handbag. And I suppose you could keep the doll for collector’s purposes, when you have used up the perfume. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Crisp Mandarin, Fresh Coconut & Apple Skin Middle Notes: Jasmine Sambac, Soft Freesia & Magnolia Vapour Base Notes: Coconut Cream, White Sandalwood & Cottonwoods To me it smells really strong for an eau de toilette. I quite like the scent because it is very feminine and quite sweet. The only thing I don’t like about it is the coconut. I don’t really like the coconut scent anyway. Other than that, it smells amazing, until the coconut hits your nose. I can also smell the floral side to it as well, the coconut does complement the flor...

Graze - Box #10

I have another Graze box post for you today. I am thinking of stopping these posts soon because it is starting to feel compulsory and I need to post more relevant beauty related content. A closer look at my treats. Graze’s Popping Corn ‘Lightly Salted’ I have tried this before and it is really nice and not overly salty. You get quite a bit of corn in the bag too, even though it is a small packet. Lightly Toasted Pistachios “Whole pistachios toasted with a little salt” I have had this packet before too and I just love pistachios! Tomato & Basil Pizza “Basil crunchini, cheese cashews & mini tomato breadsticks” This is my first experience with this packet, but each snack has been in other packets I have tried before. The crunchini is very nice and it’s just like croutons. The cheese cashews are nice and I do still really like the tomato breadsticks/baguettes. Herby Bread Basket “Basil baguettes, garlic crostini and oregano ric...

Glamour Magazine - July 2013

Yesterday I picked up the new edition of Glamour Magazine, well three copies of them actually! It is the July 2013 edition and you get a choice of five free MODEL CO products and four different magazine covers ( Rebel Wilson , Zooey Deschanel , Myleene Klass & Daniel Radcliffe ). I have never heard of the MODEL CO brand before, but judging by their website, they are marketed as high end. I’m not sure what size the items in the magazines are, but I have listed the full sizes and prices below. FIBRE LASHXTEND Mascara - £28 SHINE Ultra Lip Gloss in Strip Tease - £12 SHINE Ultra Lip Gloss in Showgirl Red - £12 COLOURBOX Eye Pencil in Black 01 - £14 LIP ENHANCER Illusion Lip Liner - £16 I decided to pick up two copies because this month’s edition is £1 instead of £2.
