I’m a big fan of cream eyeshadows. I love them because they’re very easy to use and if you find the right formula they will last you all day without budging. On daily basis I actually prefer a cream eyeshadow because it doesn’t look overdone for every day wear, you just swipe a shade and blend and you’re all set. Since I already tested one of H&M Beauty cream eyeshadows I know I needed more.
The H&M Beauty cream eyeshadows are settled in to very pretty glass jars that look more high end than affordable. They’re described as a luxurious cream to powder eyeshadow with silky mousse texture and intense color.
“How to use: Using a brush or your fingertip, dab gently onto eyelid and blend as desired. Wear over eye primer for even more vivid, lasting results. Tighten cap to prevent product from drying out when not in use.”
I already knew that I like the formula of the cream eyeshadows since I’ve been using the shade in Sirocco for awhile now. I picked up three other shades in: Champers, Dauphine Truffle and Heat of the moment.
I’m happy to report that all four shades that I have perform the same. The formula is creamy and you only need a tiny bit to get a very intense look on the eyes. As soon as the eyeshadow dries they don’t budge and this is without a primer. If you have oily eyelids and you tend to have creasing on most creams just use a primer and you’ll be good to go.
About the shades:
Sirocco (shimmery bronze)
Champers (champagne with gold shimmer)
Dauphine Truffle (shimmery bronze taupe)
Heat of the moment (burnt orange with gold shimmer)
The thing that I like the most about these cream eyeshadows is that they’re shimmery but they have fine and elegant shimmer that it’s subtle enough to be worn during the day. Sometimes with shimmery cream eyeshadows you get a lot of shimmer that’s more appropriate for night time use but not with these. I also like that you only need a tiny bit for daily use so these will last you forever. The formula feels better than the Maybelline Color Tattoos meaning they’re creamier and more pigmented and they run about the same price. H&M runs a lot of sales so I got the three additional shades for $3.99 which is a steal for the quality you’re getting.
Swatches L to R: Champers, Sirocco, Heat of the moment, Dauphine Truffle
Since I don’t have a beauty counter in my local H&M store I ordered these online but if you do have a counter I highly recommend going to one because I was told that they have more available shades in stores then the ones that they have online. Currently they have six available shades online and most are sold out.
