Oriflame The ONE Colour Impact Cream Eyeshadows Review,Swatches

What the Company claims:

  • Easy to apply and blend for even results.
  • Cream to powder like texture – goes on creamy and transforms to a powder for colour intensity
  • Supreme pigment pay off
  • Pearly to matte shades with a velvetty sheen.

Shades Available:

  • Olive Green
  • Deep Indigo
  • Shimmering Steel
  • Rose Gold
  • Golden Brown
  • Intense Plum

MRP: Rs.449/- for 4g

I love cream eyeshadows and when Oriflame came up with these The ONE Range of cream eyeshadows, I knew I had to try them. Cream eyeshadows are easy and quick to use and my savior when I am in a hurry which is a majority of the times.

They come in a small pot jar with a purple color lid. The jar is quite sturdy and would not break as such.

The texture is rich and creamy and the cream finish is super easy to use and blend and it sets within 1-2 minutes to a pigmented powder form. So one needs to layer and blend quickly. Darker shades are quite pigmented especially the brown, Plum and Steel however need some layering.

They stay for 6-7 hours with minimal creasing or fading. It does start fading later on, but with a good primer can stay even longer.

You would need a good waterproof makeup remover to remove these completely.

Golden Brown is a rich chocolate brown with gold shimmer

Shimmering Steel is a light steel grey with silver shimmer

Intense Plum is bluish purple with silver shimmer

I think these are just perfect to use when you are in a hurry, just blend, layer and set and you are good to go for the day. I love the golden brown especially since it is very versatile and would go with many outfits on different occasions. Shimmering Steel is perfect for soft smokey eyes and Intense Plum with some of your blue, purple toned Indian wear!

I absolutely recommend them. For their price point, they are quite a steal. Only issue with Oriflame would be the availability as you would need to order them though reps.

Illamasqua Vintage Metallix in Bibelot, Courtier Review, Swatches

What the Company claims: Vintage Metallix eyeshadow provides a metallic cream-gel texture that provides long wear and comfort. Smudge resistant and long lasting formula. Apply with your fingers or an Illamasqua brush.

A long lasting, metallic cream-gel texture, with a smudge resistant finish.

Key Benefits:
1. Intense metallic finish.
2. Smudge resistant.
3. Maximum long wear.

Application: Apply using fingers or an Illamasqua brush

MRP: £16.50 for 5ml (Approx Rs.1620/-)

Illamasqua Vintage Metallix is a part of their ‘Once’ collection. A set of three cream-gel eye shadows were launched as a part of this range: Bibelot (Vintage Green), Courtier (Vintage N*de) and Embellish (Vintage Brown)

I love cream eye shadows, they are easy to apply and blend and takes just a minute or so for that perfect blended look. I can use it anywhere and everywhere, even when I am travelling and I do not need to carry palettes or brushes. Plus I am mostly always in a rush, so cream shadows come to my handy. I also the Maybelline Color Tattoos for the same reason.

And when I got these, I was pretty excited to try them.

Today I am reviewing the shades Bibelot and Courtier. These come in a simple glass packaging with a golden cap and the Illamasqua symbol embossed on it. The mouth is wide enough to get the product on your fingers.

These are super duper creamy and blend easily, can even be layered quickly. It takes a minute for them to set, and once set, they don’t budge at all! They have stayed put whole day with minimal fading.

Bibelot is a gorgeous forest green with gold shimmer.

Courtier is a frosty n*de pink with silver shimmer.

Unblended

Courtier is a shade one can use in daytime or for everyday formal wear with just a winged liner. Looks super classy, giving just a hint of shimmer.

Bibelot is the perfect fall/winter shade. One can create beautiful 2 minute green smokey eyes with it. Also, its a nice shade for Indian wear.

Overall, I loved them. I would love to try Embellish too, coz I cant have enough of browns 😀 But if I have to recommend one, I would suggest Bibelot. Its a must have <3

Blended

They are definitely slightly on the expensive side, but with MAC Paint pots’ increased pricing at Rs.1500/-, they are almost the same, with Illamasqua offering slightly more qty but texture wise, Illamasqua are much more creamy and easy to use, where as MAC Paint Pots dry up quickly and are not as creamy as these.

Only issue with Illamasqua is availability. You need to buy it online from their site HERE.

ESTĒE LAUDER INTRODUCES PURE COLOR STAY-ON SHADOW PAINTS

BY TOM PECHEUX, ESTÉE LAUDER CREATIVE MAKEUP DIRECTOR

“I wanted to experiment with texture and create a new way of playing with makeup. Pure Color Stay-on Shadow Paints are great for mixing and are an especially easy way to apply makeup – there are infinite possibilities.”

Tom Pecheux, Creative Makeup Director, Estée Lauder

Estée Lauder introduces the unparalleled texture, extreme performance and intense color in creme eyeshadow, Pure Color Stay-On Shadow Paint. Whether it is a bold, right off the runway flash of color or a soft, sophisticated wash of watercolor, this high style collection will drench eyes in a silky smooth buildable mousse creme and captivate with rich pigments to create eye-catching looks that last all day!

BUILDABLE TEXTURE
Pure Color Stay-on Shadow Paints include a range of long lasting hues in a creamy and richly pigmented formula that glides onto the lids with mousse-like softness. Worn alone or mixed to create infinite seductive and sophisticated looks, the truly versatile formula features buildable pigments that envelop lids for seamless, stunning depths of color.

PURE PERFORMANCE
With unbelievable 12-hour wear, the hybrid texture is comfortable, non-creasing and non-fading.  Pure Color Stay-on Shadow Paints wrap lids in a smooth creme that glides on and blends easily for pure pigments and light reflecting  pearls that stay shimmering all day and well into the night.

PURE PIGMENTS
Infused with True Vision Technology – a unique concept of wrapping concentrated pigments into a crystalline laminate to create a multidimensional look – color is amplified and magnified with a glowing metallic finish. Mousse-like creme lays down a layer of pure pigments to recreate and redefine eyes, while prismatic light reflecting pearls add dazzle to each shade, for glimmering effects ranging from a subtle sheen to a dazzling shimmer finish.

EYE ART: MIX. MATCH. MESMERIZE (SELECT MARKETS ONLY).  
Eyes are the canvas, now create. Complete your makeup art kit with Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiplying Volume Mascara and Double Wear Stay-in-Place Gel Eyeliner in two limited edition hues, Bold Cobalt and Extreme Emerald.  Partnered with Pure Color Stay-on Shadow Paints, lids are dramatically shaded, lashes are decadently decorated and eyes are lavishly lined.  Choose one shade or mix and match them all.

Expert Tip

For a High impact look – Illuminate. With fingertips, sweep all over eye from inner corner and work outwards. For added drama, darken as desired.


MRP: Rs. 350/- for 4g

It comes in a glass jar with black plastic cap..similar to MAC Paint Pots or MUFE Aqua Creams..the texture is quite creamy and smooth..and it is pigmented enough too..and can also be builded..also comes with a brush along..which is quite good..and works well with these..

On me it stayed a good 7-8 hours with very little fading even without a primer or base. It could have stayed longer but I have not worn it longer than that..These are compared to MAC Paint Pots and said to be quite a good dupe at this price..and I totally agree !

I am always late and running and such 2 minute cream shadows which are super easy to work with and stay all day long are a boon for a person like me 😀

T:1 swipe, B: 2 swipes

Bad to the Bronze is a neutral taupey bronze with shimmer..a perfect everyday shade..can be worn to work or brunch with friends or anywhere practically..its quite a versatile shade..and one that would look good on all skin tones..fair, medium or dusky..

Here it is on me..

It comes in a normal round eyeshadow pan packaging..with a flip cap..

I was in love with the shade the moment I saw it..the name ‘Emerald Smoke’ was calling out to me 😀

But…as soon as I touched it.. 😮 Its a creamy eyeshadow..Nowhere did I read thats its cream based..not even in claims or on the pack..so I expected these to be powder eyeshadows..

I still love the color ! :p Emerald Smoke is a deep blackened olive green with golden shimmer..

T: 2 swipes, B: 1 swipe

Its pretty pigmented and buildable..I love how gorgeous it looks..kinda blackened olive green smokey eyes with some golden shimmer shining..

But but..the only and major issue is..it creases within an hour ! It just does’nt stay..and creases badly..how I wish it was powder eyeshadow or stayed longer..

Pros:

1. Gorgeous shade.
2. Easy to use…works with fingers too.
3. Economical.
4. Qty would last long.
5. Travel friendly..the flip cap shuts well.
6. Can be used as an eyeshadow base or gel liner.
7. Claims to be non toxic..

Cons:

1. Creases within an hour !
2. Only available online for now.

Overall I love the shade..but I cannot wear it coz it creases 🙁 I will have to try a very good eye primer like the Too Faced Shadow Insurance with it now..would update if it stays put with that..

Rouge Bunny Rouge Long-lasting Cream Eye Shadow SILK AETHER Atlas Swallowtail Review, Swatches

Our utmost Long-lasting Cream Eye Shadows caress your skin with the ease of a butterfly wing beat, so that your lids appear smooth and renewed while coated with a semi-matt, slightly luminous colour.

It’s an irresistible combination of exceptionally long-wear, non-crease and smudge proof textures. The extreme long-lasting effect is delivered through the synthetic filming polymers which ensure a perfect appearance all day.

Our comfortable wand includes a light, velvet, creamy formula for silky gliding. Easy application is achieved by innovative silicon waxes and gels, in combination with Beeswax.

We added Para Cress Flower Extract to stimulate natural skin lifting capabilities and Coffee Extract to increase collagen and elastin production while also enhancing the natural skin defences.

All colours can be worn in two ways: a satin wash of colour with one layer, or a stronger application providing opaque, metallic and darker hues of the same colour.

Directions: You can line, shade and contour your eyes very sheer or in a more dramatic way with our Long-lasting Cream Eye Shadows, and you can blend them into each other too.

Prime your eyes before you apply eye shadows with our Luminous Skin Wand, Aqua Primer or Mattifying Primer to give the skin an even tone and to help the eye shadows to stay even longer.

You can blend the colour of our Long-lasting Cream Eye Shadows either with the included applicator or with our Mini Shader 005 from your lash line up to the brow bone.

To open up your eyes use a light colour under your brows and to deepen your gaze place a darker one in the crease and blend well.

MRP: €29.00 for 4 ml / 0.14 fl oz

Shades Available:

  • Batiste Grayling: Cool, true medium grey
  • Brocade Skipper: Blush champagne cream
  • Chiffon Ringlet: Semi-sheer satin mauvish chocolate with copper reflections
  • Velvet Fritillary: Greyish khaki with golden reflections
  • Atlas Swallowtail : Nude taupe with pewter reflections

RBR Long Lasting Cream Shadows are a buttery velvety formula for a silky glide..they came in a tube type black packaging with the typical RBR white designs..It has a wand with a slight tilted sponge applicator inside..which is quite easy to use directly too..they spread and blend like butter on the eyes..

One swipe gives a sheer wash of color for daytime looks or it can be builded for night time or heavy looks..

Stays put the whole day..no creasing no fading..

Atlas Swallowtail is described as a satin wash of nude taupe with pewter reflections buildable to darker, more opaque and metallic greyish hue of the same colour…on me with 2-3 coats its almost my skin color..its like my eyes but better..with just some slight shimmer which is hardly visible..but gives a polished look to the eyes..its perfect for those ‘no makeup’ makeup looks..I am yet to try building it super intense with more layers.


Pros:

1. Buttery velvety texture.
2. Pigmented.
3. Stays put whole day without creasing or fading.
4. Super easy to use..fingers or the wand both work well.
5. Travel friendly.
6. The shade is a neutral and would work for all..on me its almost my skin color..on fairer girls it would a sheer taupe..
7. Can be used as a base for powder eye shadows.

Cons:

1. Expensive.
2. Available only on Zuneta or RBR web boutique.
3. Comes up quite sheer in one swipe..needs 2-3 swipes for the color to show up on me..

Overall its a great everyday neutral shade..perfect for office too..and would work great on almost all skin tones..more so on fairer girls..
