Props the best drugstore cream eyeshadow you can get. Great dupe for the mac paintpots. Have got a nice shade selection just wish they had a few more beige shades. I find these dry out a bit faster than the paintpots do but these are alot cheaper.

I own the "bad to the bronze" colour and I love it! It can be worn day and night and stays put on my oily eyelids. It makes my blue eyes pop which I also like!
I have a minty green and baby blue/steel colour, I scored them for $1 each at postie plus during there huge christmas clearance. Was so happy I gave these a try as usually I stick to powder not gel or cream. These are vivid and really are like a tattoo, they have amazing staying power but still blend nicely, one colour can look like 2 or 3 shades if blended in different places.
Was inspired to try this after watching youtube reviews. The bronze shade is so nice with brown eyes and fair skin. I haven't quite got the knack of application, my hands seem to be too clumsy to get an accurate deposit of colour without it ending up all over my face. May look at some other shades in the range though as love the blendability of this.
Tips: Apparently this is best applied by hand
I purchased two of these because I'm such an eyeshadow addict, I decided I needed them and I got Iced in Pink (which is a light, pretty pink) and Barely Branded (a light gold/bronze shade) and I always get compliments when I wear these two shades - or even, combine them with pink on the outer corners of the lid and the gold on the inner half of the lid, blended. Amazing.
As for creasing, I've had this crease but not when I've put a primer on first, which is kinda weird for something that should last 24 hours. I've managed 18 hours of wear before this has started to fade.
Application - I just use my fingers or a Real Techniques Shading brush over a primer (just to make sure I get no creases)
I have 4 of these, Gold, silver, bronze and a champagne-y colour. I loved these when they were new, but seeing as i've had them for awhile they have dried a bit and are harder to apply.
They are very pigmented which drew me to buy more colours. I find applying with fingers easier than a brush
Tips: I've heard baby oil softens them up if they start to dry
Maybellines one of my favourite brands. I can find it at almost every store that I go shopping at. I also like it when I find these lines at Bucket sales. I find that they're cheaper at these. I enjoy using eye shadows. I wanted to get myself at least one of these because I have heard how great they are.
These shadows come in these small glass jars. The colour I chose is Immortal Charcoal. It's an ashy grey colour. The texture of this shadow is creamy. It doesn't have any scent to it at all.
I used my shadow brush. I prefer to use a study bristled brush because this shadow is very creamy. It blended nicely across my eye lid. I didn't need lots to cover my eye either. You don't get fall out like your standard shadows. I didn't get to try this for 24 hours but it did last me all day.
I managed to get my shadow for five dollars from a bucket sale. It was really cheap. I actually regret not getting more. I always like to try one and then make a descision about buying more. These shadows are definitely worth buying. I wouldn't try using a sponge applicator with this shadow as its quite creamy. Overall its a great shadow to use and I will be purchasing more.
Tips: Check that the shadows aren't dried out before buying, if you notice cracks or discolouration it could be a sign that they have turned.
I got this product wholesale like a lot of products I buy. I got the sparkly silver shadow as I wanted a high impact silver shadow for a formal event. The colour was quite strong but I was disappointed by the fact that it smeared very easily, it smeared right from application and this messed the colour up a little bit. It could however be fixed by applying and blending more product across the lid.
The apply the product was very creamy and lasted on the lid all day.
With this product I found that unconscience eye wiping caused a lot more damage than powder eye shadow and that the unused product has begun to dry up slightly.
In terms of packaging, each shadow is sold individually in small round glass jars. This means that as an individual eye shadow they are quite expensive. I think mine may have come with an applicator brush as well (I can't remember) but I apply it with my fingers because I had cleaning make brushes that have hard to clean make up off them such as creams and gels.
Tips: Keep an eye out for it at clearance places.
I love my colour tattoos and constantly get completed when wearing them as they look so beautiful on. They can be used as a base for other eye shadow or on it's on or just with another eye shadow in the crease. This product lasts all day and still looks as vibrant after 8 hours. The product packaging is great and quite large for a cream shadow. There is also a large range of colours. My only hang up is that I wish they we're slightly cheaper so that I could own them all.
Tips: Apply with fingers
I have a colour tattoo in the colour 'Barely Branded' and this is just a nice Champagne colour. It suits so many different skin tones. I apply this with my fingers or a brush they both work well. The price is great! It is very easy to use because the packaging is a good size to get your fingers into the pot. The product itself does dry out but you can just warm it up with your finger. I have a question though, are you supposed to wear an eye shadow over top? Or just leave it as is? Mine doesn't crease when I wear it with nothing over top so I love it!
