MUFFIN!



(A different shade of shadow pictured here)
A newcomer to the wonder of cream eyeshadows, I have fallen head over heels for Clinique's Quick Eyes Cream Shadow. When first purchased I didn't see the fuss about it, and bought after hearing Zoe Foster rave about it. There was also a GWP going on which I wanted, so didn't have much to lose. The shade Zoe loves is Muffin, a warm chocolatey shade.

 There are 9 colours in the range that are quite similar in my opinion, I would love to see Clinique bring out some brights or more vivid colours in this range, then it would be on like Donkey Kong!

Though the doe-foot applicator is comfortable on the eye, I find it distributes too much cream shadow for one eye, so I swipe some onto my finger before blending onto my eye. It has great staying power, and I find it even better when layered over a MAC paintpot (Chilled On Ice is my pick)

The best thing about this product is that it looks as though you've spent ages creating a gorgeous smoky bronzed eye, when in fact you've done little to no work at all.

Swatches:

Muffin,blended.
Muffin, unblended.

Clinique's Quick Eyes Cream Shadows retail for $37 AUD for 5mls, which is pretty steep in my opinion as I can see myself using this whole tube up quickly. Can be purchased from Myer and DJ's etc.I will be repurchasing in the future, love this product.
