At first when I seen the commercial for these I didn't like the colors they used but looking closer at them they have some very pretty colors.
The three shades I have are ‘Tough as Taupe’ (35) a deep, matte taupe, ‘Pomegranate Punk’ (30) a deep metallic burgundy and ‘Bad to the Bronze’ (25) a light, golden bronze.
They come in almost identical packaging to Benefit’s creaseless crème shadow/liners and are very similar in consistency to them, and to the MAC paint pots. They all have the similar, slightly greasy but blend-able texture at first, which quickly dries down to a solid colour base.
They claim to be smudge and crease free, and (as the name suggests) last for 24 hours. I don’t know about 24 hours and they certainly do stay!
In my opinion, these shadows are closely comparable to both the MAC and Benefit alternatives, not only in terms of colour pay-off and blendability, but also staying power and non-creasing. I like to wear these both as a base for eyeshadow, and on their own (for more lazy days!)
Left-right: Benefit Sippin'n'Dippin', MAC Rubenesque, Maybelline Bad to the Bronze, Tough as Taupe and Pomegranate Punk.
They really are extraordinary when it comes to high street crème shadows, which from my past experience are normally awful!
Overall i'm very impressed with them and if you want to go to the maybelline website for these click here. And to get the benifits sippin' n dippin' eyeshadow click here.
