Estee Lauder Double Wear Cream Shadows

Update: It's been THREE MONTHS! I know... I'm god awful :(. The plus side to this is that I have accumulated a good amount of goodies to share with you. Now that finals, graduation, and vacationing is all over, I am going to make a better effort to blog haha.

A while back, I saw frmheadtotoe talk about these cream shadows in her video, and thought "how awesome!" So when I happened to be near a CCO, I grabbed some. Let me tell you: SO TRUE. They are every bit as impressive as she said they would be.

At $12.25 a pop, I got three:


Vintage Violet - my favorite because I find it to be most wearable.


Silver Leaf


Sea Mist - so pretty!!!


Here are some swatches (just a swipe):

Very true to color huh?

I absolutely adore them! They are so creamy and so vibrant! I only just swiped them a bit and they came out mega pigmented. I haven't tried yet, but I'm pretty sure you can double this up as dramatic eyeliner.

My only regret is the Silver Leaf. I realized later that I didn't really have a need for it, and that I should've gotten a golden color instead since it better compliments my skin tone. Oh well!

Tip: Apply cream shadows with your fingers. It has a thicker consistency, so it can easily clump your brushes. AND by using your fingers, you will warm up (melt) the product resulting in easier application.

Love Always,
Me
