I purchased my Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow from my local Sephora. I did so off of a review/favorites video on YouTube by Missglamorazzi or Ingrid. She was raving about this product in Skinny Jeans last summer and I listen when she raves!

So being that we are in the middle of the summer again, I thought I would try out her favorite for last summer.
I purchased this in "Skinny Jeans" and then later went back and purchased it in "RSVP".
My first impression was that Benefit wasted a large amount of packaging on a much smaller product. You could easily fit 2 standard .16 oz shadows in the standard packaging. I assume they did it for the cute packaging.
I have always had problems with my shadows creasing so I was really excited to experience a shadow that didn't crease on me. I was kind of disappointed, sadly.
I applied a thin layer to my eyelid on top of a primer and went about my day. About an hour later it had creased on my lid. Granted I should realize that this is "just going to happen" because I have hooded eyes.
I didn't stop there, because I figured I was doing something wrong. So I used it as an eyeshadow base instead of by it's self. This means I sealed it with a shadow, like I do with most cream products. This helped tremendously! I still had some creasing after several hours, but I'm not looking for a miracle product. These products are just very good bases for eyeshadow and I am ok with that.
Those with eyes that are not hooded...I hope this works better for you (and be sure to leave a comment and let me know). I know that products work differently on everyone because of our body chemistry, so this may just not work for me. I have faith that Benefit named this product because of what it does instead of a hope...and that Ingrid knows what she is doing. Someone tell me I am doing something wrong...please!
Overall, I am happy that I purchased both of these colors as they are good to have in my arsenal...I'm just not sure I would purchase them again.
