Product lasts very well without creasing but color was too pale for my skin tone (NC30-MAC foundation)

You really can’t go wrong with these. The best cream eyeshadow I have ever used — it is rich & deep and doesn’t settle in crease. Suitable for mature skin.
I have skinny jeans, which is a color that is hard to describe. More of a gray/brown — it applies richer and deeper than it appears on-screen and in the pot. I also have birthday suit, which is somewhat lighter on-screen than in the pot, but again applies deeper. I would not hesitate to try more shades but these two — which I can combine with dusters — are nearly perfect.
Only downside … very small amount, imo. Although the box is more package than product, it is still worth the price … and a great deal if marked a % off the list.

I have these shadows in the shades gossip and skinny jeans. Gossip is a pretty lilac color and skinny jeans is a graphite shade. Both have a lot of shimmery mica in them.
The texture is pasty, kind of like a MAC Paint Pot but not nearly as dry. Working with the product can be a little challenging. It doesn’t set right away so you get a little bit of time to work with it but not much. The product doesn’t blend well so I don’t care to work with it unless I just use one color on the bare lid as a primer or base. Even when I bought these the artist at the Benefit counter had a lot of difficulty getting a nice look and that was just with two colors. You’ll want to use a brush with these, and since they are creamy you’ll have to wash your brush before you can use it again. Nothing wrong with that, just FYI.
The packaging is great: a nice solid glass jar with a secure lid. You can see the color from the outside so if you own more than one there is no confusion or issue if the label falls off.
The color payoff is a bit sheer for my liking but hey, not everything has to be opaque and vibrant. Sometimes a sheer wash of color is quite nice and refreshing. And yes, they truly are crease-less so if oily lids are your concern, you will get nice performance from these shadows.

Yes, it is creaseless (unless you’re a oil pit). Just be careful about the color you select. I thought I was getting a brown when I selected Strut, but it is a shimmery dark navy.

I loved this eyeshadow so much I won’t buy any other eyeshadow out there. I only use Benefit cream shadows. I love their cream shadows because they stay on all day without creases. Some people have complained that it creases but I think they must not be applying it correctly. I apply my first coat very lightly and evenly on my top lid all the way to just underneath the eyebrow line, then after 30 seconds, I apply a second layer. Sometimes I use a brush but more often than not I simply use my fingers so I can control and apply it better. The nude colors are awesome for daily use when going to work — I can’t wear heavy makeup at work. I have RSVP, Bunny Hop, Marry Up, and Stilleto for effect. I saw their Fall 09 collection and I intend to get all 3 new colors!
