I bought this product in four different shades: gossip, RSVP, get figgy, and skinny jeans. There is 4.5 g of product, compared with 3 g for MAC fluidlines, and 5 g for MAC paint pots. I paid $19 at Sephora for it. I spread a light layer of it on my lid with my MAC 239 brush and smooth/blend it out. Today I'm wearing RSVP on the lid with Get Figgy on the outer V, and it makes my hazel eyes look great. Get Figgy is a plum color. It is not too dark. I haven't yet used it as a liner, just an eyeshadow. For those who have problems with creasing, I recommend using a brush like the MAC 239 to spread it out more thinly so it won't crease. I didn't wear a base under it, and it hasn't creased all day. I recommend these shadows as a low-effort alternative to putting on eye makeup.

Nice shimmery brown-plum with excellent staying power.
Am I the only one here that finds this doesn't blend very well? Therefore find it easiest to pat the shadow on with my fingers rather than using a brush. Have a similar problem with the same formula in Strut, but find that RSVP and Birthday Suit apply much more evenly.
Would buy this again mainly because the colour is that pretty.
PS - Edited this and added one lipstick; using a synthetic fibre brush (e.g. BeneFit Talent) helps with the application.

This is a cream shadow/liner that is suppose to be creaseless. I don't think I've ever used one of any brand that was 100% creaseless so I don't expect it to be. I does crease eventually, but for me it lasted pretty long. I did use the eyeshadow base by Urban Decay underneath.
The color is listed as a frosted heather. It can still be worn as a neutral because the color is fairly muted. I have green eyes and I thought this color was very complimentary. I think it would also look great with blue or hazel eyes.
It comes in a little pot that you can apply with your finger or a brush. It goes on smoothly and evenly. It has a slight shimmer, but is not overly frosted. I've worn it with browns and purples - very pretty with both.
I liked it enough that I'm going to try it in another color.
Worth a try if you don't have really oily eyelids.

This shade is gorgeous, on me the plum tones stand out more than the brown (FFF/MMM olive). The only reason it gets a four is that it is definately NOT creaseless! At least on me. It is also on the sheer side but it is buildable.

What a wonderful colour! I would desribe it as a medium toned plum/pink/ with a creamy finish. It has a nice shine to it without shimmer and / or glitter which I'm really greatful for.
I'm really into Benefit's creaseless creams and Get Figgy is certainly no exception. While it makes a great e/s I would say that it's too light to be used as a liner. I usually combine it with a pink beige colour and it looks absolutely gorgeous!

I never write reviews and thought i'd start because I have tried every cream shadow out there as both a consumer and makeup artist and this is by far the best stuff. Never creases, lasts all day (especially if you put a powder over it and the color is true to the pot. I like this color the best for my olive skin and dark eyes. As a new mom, I am so excited about something that makes me look fresh all day long.

Get Figgy is a beautiful shimmery plummy-heather colour. Described as "frosted heather". It's shimmery but not annoyingly frosty; not too cold a colour, not too warm a colour.. just a perfect neutral shimmery plummy-heather that looks wonderful on my skin and with my dark-brown eyes. What I LOVE MOST about this product is the COLOUR -- which happens to be a very difficult one to find out there. Great for CCC skin (ie. I'm a Cover FX I40 or a MAC NC44 or so). Great for cool-hued olive skins with dark-brown eyes. Cost = $20CAD which is pricey for me, but a little goes a long way.
Layers very well. When I add an eyeshadow on top (I use Urban Decay's Purple Haze): lasts all day long, is completely creaseless, and is a fantastic colour!
Without adding shadow, some of the cream shadow disappears within 30minutes (maybe b/c I have oily lids) but most of remains - especially a nice wide area above the eyelashes, and that bit lasts long.
I've never been impressed with any Cream Eyeshadow, or with any Benefit product.. except for this! HG status all the way. Will repurchase indefinitely!

I adore cream shadows for the sheen and blendability. Benefit products are usually hit or miss for me, but this one is nice. Get Figgy is a mauvey-brown shade, nicely pigmented to begin with but not really buildable. I wouldn't use it as a liner, despite the product name. Feels a little thinner than Bobbi Brown cream shadows or Stila shadow pots, blends well. Definitely didn't crease, but did seem to lose some of the purple and look more brown by the end of the day. Still, nice formula and color selection.
