Review: Benefit Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow Samba-dy Loves Me

I don’t own a lot of Benefit products so I’ve decided to try something new from the brand, since they already have stores here. Well, I’m not entirely sure if these Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow/Liner are new, per se, but I don’t have any cream eyeshadows and I’ve never tried them before so yes, these are new to me.

If you could recall, I bought these during my “hissy fit” splurge along with a NARS blush. I bought two pots, in fact, but I’ll review just one for now: Benefit’s Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liner in Samba-dy Loves Me.

Packaging

Benefit describes the shade Samba-dy Loves Me as “golden fawn”.

Haul: Benefit + NARS

I was not the most cheerful person today (or rather, yesterday – April 13). Was more than sullen, actually; I was downright contemptuous. It only lasted 24 hours, don’t worry.. So what’s a force of nature girl to do on a payday? Not much. Splurge, maybe?

It certainly was  helpful. I was feeling so much better after I got my loot.

Burn, Baby... BURN.

I’ve been watching Essie (www.essiebutton.com) on youtube for a while and I thought she’s pretty funny. Anywhoo, she mentioned some of these products:

• NARS Luster blush
• Benefit Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow

… and I thought to try ‘em out. I only have one item from Benefit (the concealaholic kit) and I sorta wanna try out their other stuff so instead of getting a MAC Paint Pot as I had initially planned, I thought of checking out their cream eyeshadows as I don’t own any of those.

I bought two: Birthday Suit and Samba-dy Loves Me. What? No judgement. It’s retail therapy, people. Besides, their SAs (I went to Shang) are really nice!

And the other one.. well, I’m addicted to NARS blushes. Again, no judgement.

I caannot wait to try ‘em out. Maybe tomorrow when I’m off to the Heat Wave Bazaar at World Trade Center. Reviews to follow!
