If Estee Lauder was a pair of pants, they would be granny pants, and not even good ones that suck you in, the ones that are elasticated and are fraying slightly.
It’s not a brand I buy from at all – just not interesting enough, but I found myself drawn to their new Double Wear Eyeshadows.
I die for cream eyeshadows. I really really really do. But I have a criteria.
5 Cream Eyeshadow Commandments:

I bought one in Sea Mist, a bright, fresh ocean blue.
There were lots of other colours and I would have gladly bought another but nothing was that interesting. The green, the blues, the peaches – all been done before. Colours must be more interesting!
Having said that, the texture is great. Its not a thick cream, its a medium-hard textures one that is buildable – two layers gave quite a strong colour.
However – when it’s dried, its dried. Beware, work quickly!
There’s a soft flattering shimmer to Sea Mist and its perfect for the summer! It didn’t last 15 hours – more like 6-7 but it’s pretty solid.
This is a good introduction to a cream eyeshadow. The colours are basic, nothing wildly exciting but I guess that’s Estee Lauders audience. It does last a long time, it does look shimmery and flattering. The texture is so-so, a cream that’s not too soft, not too hard….not madly thrilling though.
So yes I like it. Would I got back and buy another? Nope. My head is drawn to formulas and textures that are innovative and different – MAC and Benefit have already done the cream eyeshadow in the pot very well.
