Tag: Products I Regret Buying

i have no luck with cream shadows either. I've tried many...the only ones that don't crease for me are the MAC Paint Pots which are AMAZING. You don't even need UDPP, they last all day, they stay vibrant and never ever crease. They're pretty expensive but I use the Bare Study paint pot every single day and it's lasted me for months on end.

I asked one of my MAC girls, and she said they aren't ACTUALLY meant to be used as a base. The same thing happened with me.. Benefit's creaseless cream shadows are Fab though.

@OrangeSparkler I LOVE Benefits creaseless cream shadows!

are u putting something like urban decay primer potion under the cream shadows?? Cause that stilla one is just like a paint pot and when I even use my paint pots i put a thin layer of UDPP under for added insurance..

[sokar8876]

I did try that..usually when i put udpp under a cream product it prevents creasing...it did not this time :(

[goldenappleoferis]

@goldenappleoferis oh damn that sucks!!! I really dont have trouble with cream eye products except the ELF cream shadows... are your lids oily or something...

[chaostears]

for cream color bases you're suppose to use a very thin layer, i have really oily eyelids, and they work fine for me.

[sokar8876]

i will keep that in mind...thanks

I think you should stop getting cream based products >.>

[sokar8876]

Yup...I have :p

[RyanRossette]

it might just be that color of the dream mousse shadow because i own 7 of them and they all are pigmented and lovely! (:

Thanks for the tip :)

MAC cream colour base is a face product, not eye product. Perhaps it could work as an eye product for those with drier eyelids but still that wasn't it's intended purpose.

[sokar8876]

yes, I did not realize that it would work for drier eyelids (mine are on the oily side). I realized that too late. :( oh well, I do use it now as a highlighter on my cheek bones, and it works well.

You should depot the Maybelline Roller Color and it would be ALOT better. I have four of them and I am IN LOVE with them now that I have them depotted.

[sokar8876]

Thanks for the tip, I will try that! :)

i have ulta shadows and i love them. not all of them are good, just use them with a base like too faced shadow insurance. and if u go to ulta u can try them, i looove moon beam and galaxy, mosaic and i could make the list soo long, but i wolnt :-)

[xlovechild]

I only have a few of the Ulta shadows but two of them I really like, I think the names are Summer and Deep Sea (MAC Parrot dupe). Not nearly as chalky as a couple of the other colors I have. I think it's pretty much hit or miss with Ulta's shadows.

I've been wanting to try the Rimmel eye pencils as a base for a while, because they look so pretty lol, but I have the same problem that you do with cream products creasing on my lids, so I'll probably skip them now. Thanks =)

Don't waste your time trying more Ulta colors. I have about 10 and they *all* look the same on my eye regardless of the color in the pan. Very disappointing but luckily I had bought them on a BOGO special.
