Benefit Creaseless Cream shadow and liner - Strut, Busy Signal, Pot O Gold, Skinny Jeans

I purchased these cream shadow/liners a while back after missing out on some limited edition MAC paint pots.  I wanted something comparable in color to one of the MAC ones, and i heard that Skinny Jeans was just that.  Browsing the color selection, I found that there were quite a few colors I liked so I bought a bunch, even one for my friend (Birthday Suit) because it looked like a color she'd like.

As a shadow, this has proven to be pretty good.  As a base, it is even better. and i LOVE this product as a liner.
I will review each color separately because i have had different experiences with each color.

SHADOW: Pot O Gold
This color was probably the most disappointing when worn alone (without primer or shadow over).  It did crease on me, despite the promises of being "creaseless."  I believe this shade is a Sephora exclusive, so you can only get it at Sephora or sephora.com.  When I used this with UDPP and with a shadow over it, it lasted all day long, no smudging or creasing.  Not to mention, I used it with a matte brown eyeshadow and it gave the shadow such a nice slight shimmer and gold undertones. So, as a base for powder eyeshadow I do recommend this shadow.

The shade "Busy Signal" is one of my favorites because it is so versatile and i use it as an everyday liner.  It lasts all day without creasing and without smudging at all. I love the color and everything. As the first color i tried, this seriously did not disappoint one bit! I love how well it stayed as a liner and as a shadow. This one is just what it says and is how all the other shades should be! It is a brown with kind of red undertones.

Strut was a little bit disappointing because it dried out quickly and flaked when I applied it.  However, this does not hold true for all shadows in this shade, it could just be mine depending on the stock/inventory of the Sephora I went to.  I will talk about the product now - it was a bit more see through and sheer than i would've liked.  I thought it would be an almost black liner, but it takes a bit of work to make it even show up over my brown eyeshadow. So due to this, I don't use this liner much.

My favorite shade of all four i purchased is "Skinny Jeans" (:  This shade is absolutely beautiful. When swatched, it looks a bit similar to Strut, but while "Strut" carries more of a blue undertone, "Skinny Jeans" has gold or more green undertones.  I use this as a sheer or more natural looking liner as it is a soft green black.  It also looks beautiful as a shadow and it is build-able depending on how smudgey or opaque /dark  you would like it to be.

Sephora Collection Jumbo Liner (Waterproof 12HR Wear)

Product: Eyeliner (jumbo)
Where to buy: Sephora or sephora.com
Cost: $12
Colors: ~17

Im just going to say right off the bat that I love these liners
the only thing is that they are not practical for those who want to use the black as a liner; but i think that if you are buying a jumbo liner, you want thick lines anyway (as i do).  If you don't want thick liner on your lids, dont buy this. However, you can buy other colors and use it as a shadow. These do dry quickly (yes, even pencil liners require drying time), so i dont recommend it if you want to use it as a base and smudge it .. because it won't smudge xD yayayay ~~
yes, i love that it wont smudge-- it's amazing (:
i bought these liners in Glitter Black, and Khaki. i LOVE the color Khaki, so i got this liner and the liquid liner version. Love all of them. <33
The black glitter one is a matte black with silver glitters in it
The Khaki one is a green with olive and gold undertones in it and is a bit metallic looking
i swatched these two on my hands, waited a little, rubb rubb, and none of them budged one bit.

then, it gets better. I washed my hands after eating at Shirokiya Beer Garden ramen, and really washed them well with soap, and when i left the restroom i looked at my hands and the swatches were still there, just as pretty and pigmented, no smudges, just absolutely perfect!
ill take pictures of swatches later on and post them!
until then, i just really recommend these! go buy them!!!! (; <33, jammie

On Wednesdays my friend and I end school early, so we like to go eat and shop before work.
We stopped by Sephora, and I wanted to buy new makeup and get the Nar's VIB sampler.
I bought 2 Sephora Collection Jumbo Liners (12 hr Wear Waterproof) ~ which i will be later reviewing (and love BTW), and this Long Lasting Liquid Liner in Khaki (kaki). Let me first tell you guys that my expectations were not that high; however, after trying out this product on my hand and rubbing the swatch a bit, the color was just as gorgeous and no smudging. So i decided to give it a try (:
