Magic!
Even though I feel the same as many of the other reviewers, when it comes to this product I just want to give my endorsement as well. I love how multi purpose this is - it's a great eyeshadow and liner that stays put, but I also use a teeny tiny bit as a highlighter (and sometimes I use it on top of lipstick to add sheen). I bought a sample size about 6 months ago and it's still going strong. Highly recommend it!
Long wearing And creasless!
I love these cream eye shadows! I have Brithday suit and RSVP and I wear them almost every single day. They really are a two in one product because they look great on their own and they are a great primer. I've never had any problems with them creasing and they are pretty long wearing. I have yet to find a flaw with these and I am looking forward to trying some more colors!
THIS IS THE TOP EYESHADOW (BEIGE) IN ALLURE’S BEST OF BEAUTY 2011, AND IT'S ONE OF THE HEALTHIEST CREAM SHADOWS I HAVE FOUND!!

This product gets a hazard rating of 3 out of 10!
I really like this product. I have it in Birthday Suit and R.S.V.P. Birthday Suit is a highly pigmented, shimmery taupe neutral, and R.S.V.P. is more of a pinkish champagne. Both are neutral enough that I consider them ideal for everyday wear.
They are creaseless, fade-proof, smudge-proof, buildable and blendable. A little goes a long way, and doesn't require primer. Each pot will last a long time, as long as you remember to screw the lid back on tightly so it doesn't dry out. A great value for the price.
I had not thought to use this as a base for other powder shadows, as I usually wear it on it's own when I want to achieve a quick, neutral eye look. After reading the other reviews on this page, I'm going to give it a try. Sounds like it works well :)
I want more!
I only have Birthday Suit, which is a lovely, shimmery neutral. I haven't had had any problems with creasing either, so that's good! I've had the pot for a few months and it looks like I've hardly made a dent in it so it will definitely last a long time.
I really want to try Get Busy, Skinny Jeans, and Stiletto next.
super natural super smooth
PROS: The only color I have in this shadow is "Birthday Suit" which is very neutural and natural but it ads the right amount of shimmer. I model, and this shadow always looks awesome in pictures. You don't have to use primer with this eye shadow, it doesn't really crease. I would like to buy more colors in this product.
CONS: It is kind of expensive and can dry out easily.
Lasts All Day
Overall Feelings: They are the only things that keep my shadows on all day when sandwiched between too faced shadow insurance and a powder eye shadow. Minimizes fallout.
Texture/Application: These glide on to your lids very easily and they have a silicone texture so I personal feel like they have a bit to much slip to be used as a liner. Drys to a powder finish. I personally like to use my fingers to apply this the best but it can be done with a brush.
Finish: Mostly shimmery, not glittery.
Birthday suit:This is a great base for just pumping up a nude eye, to me it looks like a shimmery golden taupe. (This goes nicely with wet n wild silent treatment or comfort zone)
RSVP:This was my first one I got, it is less versatile than birthday suit but it works as a great base under any pinkie champagne eye shadow (pairs great with wet n wild walking on eggshells trio)
Top Brass:I just bought this yesterday so I haven't had that much time to experiment with it that much. Swatched in the store it looked like a browner slightly warmer version of birthday suit, but on my eyes it looked like an orange light bronze. It adds a good amount of warmth under your eye-shadows if that is what you are looking for, but that is not what I expected. It may be returned :/ (I can imagine that this would look great with wet n wild's I'm getting sunburned but I do not own it, I think I need to get it :D)
Taupe-Azatic:This was again part of a set of 3 cream shadows. It seems to have a different texture than the others in the fact that it blends out kind of patchy. Straight up gold color with shimmer. I find this not wearable for daily use, but great when you want to do a golden eye. (I love using a variety of gold shadows with this and the milani liquefy eyeliner in aqua)
Platinum:This was part of a set of 3 cream shadows. It seems to have a different texture than the others in the fact that it blends out kind of patchy. I am not the biggest fan of this cream shadow, I find it rather unwearable. It is white with frosty shimmer, to frosty and stark for the brow bone as a highlight, and still to stark for me in the inner corner. Maybe in the dead of winter when I am super pale I will find a use.
