I recieved this product from Chick Advisor when I won the weekly contest! :) I was really excited to test the product out. I got this product in the shade brown bling.
The packaging: This product comes in a see through tube with a twist off applicator wand. When you remove the wand there is a controlled amount of product on it. It's nothing too out of the ordinary.
The product: CG claims that this product has a built in primer that makes it last. Although there is no specifications as to how long it lasts I was still curious. Primer is usually made to make the shadow stay all day. Of course, I decided immediately I needed to test it out. When I apply eyeshadow normally, I will always apply a primer to prevent creasing and make it last. I was skeptical because it is a cream shadow, and cream shadows are renound for creasing. I got ready for work and applied it all over my lids. I used the wand and put a bit of the product on my lid and then blended it with my finger to make sure it wasn't appplied too thickly. It dried, I apllied my mascara and off I went. I noticed around noon that the shadow was creasing very badly which wasn't appealing at all. It was a little disappointing to be honest. The colour of the shadow is very rich and pigmented though. I would definitely reccommend that if you want to wear this product, you will need to apply an actual primer before using it.
The price: As I said before, I did recieve this product free. However, in stores, it retails for about ten dollars. I do feel like CG products are quite expensive anymore and their products are semi hit or miss. It seems kind of pricey for the product.
Overall: It's an ok product. I like the richness of the colour. I'm not so in love with the fact that it does crease unless you have an actual primer underneath. Would I buy it? Probably not, unless it was on sale.
For me, this product is just ok. It's pretty but the primer is definitely not as prominent as I had hoped..
