I bought this in "pink petals" and was sorely disappointed. The colour payoff is terrible, it is really dry and hard to work with despite being a cream shadow, and worst of all - it creases. Quickly. As a result, it's impossible to wear alone or underneath shadow as a base (even over primer/concealer, since I tried with and without). It is now a waste of product and money, and the only thing I would recommend is to stay away from it, especially if you have even slightly oily lids.

This is one of my all time favorite cream shadows. The color payoff is wonderful, and the product layers very easily. When I wear this with a base and set it, I experience no creasing at all, even with my extremely oily eyelids. I am definitely going to repurchase this again and again.

Great for contact lens wearers. No loose eyeshadow dust falling into your eyes. I have not had problems with creasing or fading. I have been really happy with this product and only wish I would have thought to buy it sooner. No applicator included would be my only gripe.

I fell in love with these as bases when I first got them. However, not even two months later, I was hitting pan on two of the colors. They're very small little pans. They are a good price, but they run out so quickly. I did like them a lot when I used them, but it's not practical. I won't be buying them again because of this. Instead, I'm just going to spend some money on simliar colors in NYX Jumbo pencils since they last forever. These would be good for someone starting out with makeup. Give them a shot, but just know that they don't last long

I have two of these quads in "Skinlights" and "Not Just Nudes." The colours are really pretty, but they are way to creamy, which makes them crease like crazy! By themselves, without shadow on top, they crease in about an hour but even with shadow on top, they last only three or four hours. I don't think I'll repurchase.

i bought 2 of these creme shadows awhile ago, i had never tried creme shadows before so i thought i would give it a shot.
totally not worth the money, i ended up just using them as a sticky color base more than anything.

I got these shadows a few years back, but sill haven't managed to use them up. don't use these on a regular basis, just occasionally. I have it in Pink Petals 03. The one that I have and the other palette choices have very beautiful complimentary colours. However, they do not last very long at all. They tend to crease a lot and I could barely tell I even put them on after 2 hours (except for the creasing lines that they left behind). I normally don't use cream shadows since my lids tend to get quite oily and I don't think I will start after trying this out. I even tried to set it with a powder and it still creased and didn't last long.

I have this in Black Magic. Didn't work well as shadows for me. Even with a primer I found that they lost their pigment half way through the day. Now I use them as a cream shadow base.

The packaging is a pain to open. I took a nice gouge out of one of the pans attempting to open it early one morning. Revlon should nix the mirror and redesign the package.

I'm surprised by all the negative reviews of these shadows. To me, they are perfect for mornings when I'm running behind and don't want to spend 25 minutes putting on my eyeshadow, cleaning brushes, etc. With these, I just prime my eyes with Victoria's Secret Pro FX Eyeshadow Primer and blend them using my fingers. They look beautiful, blend nicely, and last all day. They never crease on me as long as I use primer. I have picked up a bunch of different colors, but so far, Twilight and Not Just Nudes are my favorites.
