I also tried Clinique's Lid Smoothie Antioxidant 8-Hour Eye Colour in Currant Affair (deep purple/violet). Not only was I impressed with the quality and colour of the cream to powder shadow, I was extremely impressed by its staying power. Not only did I try this product in the summer time, but during some of Toronto's hottest, steamiest days, and I didn't notice any creases until the evening when I was touching up my makeup to go out.

In regards to the cost $24 is a lot for an eyeshadow, but it's like buying a salon styling product they always advise to use a small amount and add if necessary. I only applied a little dab to each finger to start to ensure I wasn't being wasteful. If you are cautious about the amount you're squeezing out for each application, the tube should last for months.

I was given a sample of this shadow in the shade, Pinko Biloba to review (that's the pink one to the left). I am really glad I got to review this product because not only did it live up to the promise of being able to withstand 8 hr of wear but it has a great sheen to it. I have worn this alone and underneath powder shadows as a primer. I prefer it layered with other shadows because this light pink colour while having very good coverage, doesn't have a lot of pigment. It turns a very light white, off white pink on your lid. I love that I can put this shadow into the corner of my eye to brighten my complexion and make my eyes bigger. It is also a very smooth and creamy shadow, non drying which is awesome. The price is a bit steep at $24 for eye shadow but not totally unreasonable considering it is such good quality.
