You know what? I enjoy using cream eyeshadows. I guess I’m luckier than most, because few eyeshadows crease on me. I do not have oily lids and for the most part, cream shadows or any eyeshadow for that matter, stay on my lids for the most part of the day. Hurrah! 😛
The one benefit I find using cream shadows, is the ease of use. In most brands (I happen to like the Benefit Creaseless Cream shadows) its pretty much swipe and go. No need to fuss and faff about and they blend very easily. Now, I’d tried Shiseido’s earlier offering of a cream shadow before this – Hydro something? I didn’t like it. So I faced the newer Shiseido Shimmering Cream Eye Colors with a little trepidation.
The shadow itself isn’t new. They have been around since late last year if I recall correctly and come in a variety of colours. I’d read a lot of raving reviews about the texture and longevity, but I was still hesitant to try them. Recently however, I was given the chance to try a couple of the colours including 2 new colours from the Spring/Summer 2012 collection. So, here are my thoughts 🙂
