For whatever reason, I am a huge sucker for cream products. For $3 each (but really $1.50 after discount!), I did not hesitate to try these cream shadows from E.L.F.'s Studio line. I originally bought Dawn, Eggplant, and Bronzed. I then got Smoke and Pewter when they were released as new colors.
Eggplant is pretty self-explanatory. It is a brighter purple shade. Smoke is a deeper gray with strong blue tones. Dawn is my favorite, a gorgeous light taupe that is almost skin-tone on me. Pewter is a lighter gray with green undertones. Finally, Bronzed is a beautiful warm medium-to-dark brown.

These cream shadows are like Paint Pots in theory. They're quite dry but grow creamy when warmed with touch. They also dry down and set like Paint Pots do. However, they're definitely dryer and just generally feel less luxurious. They are difficult to blend into one another and will start to get splotchy if you pile on additional layers. These are problems if you are trying to create a look using a combination of these products as I tried to do in the following pictures. I had to go over them with powder shadow to hide the seam between the two colors. However, if you use these shadows alone for a wash of color across the lids or as bases for other eyeshadows, then I think that these pretty decent. They set relatively quickly and don't budge. I don't recall creasing with these.
There are always abundant E.L.F. promo codes that make these already-inexpensive products even more affordable. If you are at all curious about these eyeshadows, then I say go for it! I can't recommend them as products that would work well together but they do work nicely on their own. While they're not the best that I've tried, they are decent products that would be hard to regret purchasing.
