Revlon Illuminance Creme Shadow in Black Magic

I couldn't resist getting the Revlon Illuminance Creme Shadow in Black Magic even though I rarely use like the Moonlit Jewels which came in the old packaging. What drew me to Black Magic was the white shadow. There's something about a white cream eyeshadow in a pan rather than a pencil.

Revlon Illuminance Creme Shadow - Black Magic

Color 1- Silver, Color 2- Cool Pink with Lilac Shimmer

Color 3- Black with silver shimmer, Color 4- Milky white

Likes: 

♥ Can be used as eyeshadow bases

♥ Available in lovely shades

♥ Pretty-looking compact palette with matching colors on the outside and a handy mirror

♥ They don't irritate my eyes, even when I applied the black and the white on my waterline.

♥ The black shade can double up as a liner (The white, on the other hand, does not stay on the waterline.)

♥ They are Nyx Jumbo Pencils in a pan. Dupes, you can say.

♥ Price. Rs.485 is okay for 4 shadows & the pretty packaging I think.

Dislikes:

- They crease. A LOT!

- Make my lids look oily/greasy

- They smudge

- They aren't as pigmented as I thought they'd be. Probably coz they're *too* creamy & don't stay put.

The things I 'Dislike' about these are pretty much expected from cream eyeshadows, so I don't think it's fair to diss them too much. Bottomline- I wouldn't dare to wear these on their own.

Buy again? I doubt it. I really wanted Not Just Nudes, but it wasn't available in Westside (or all over India? I'm not sure). I might get that.
