Jelly Much Eyeshadow

Following up on my previous review - gorgeous as a fresh shadow, but all of mine TOTALLY dried out. Better to invest in powder, duo/multichromes in powder form, these have no lasting power. Super disappointed!

These dry out in six months, even with religious adherence to shutting the jar tight after every use. Then they're unusable.

This shade is pretty much exactly how it's pictured and described here on Temptalia. The shimmer is very find and it doesn't look glittery at all! I also had an easy time blending this with other products. However this will never be a repurchase from me. Why? barely 4 months have passed: The product is COMPLETELY DRIED OUT...and crumbly!!! I have super shock shadows from 2 years ago that are still wet! I kept this in the box and in a dry place 24/7. It's a beautiful shade but BE WARNED... it doesn't last long and only worth the price if you use it every week. Also used setting sprays to re-hydrate it, Doesn't work.

AMAZING most multi-dimensional, easy-to-use eyeshadow. One layer over my lid and it looks like I used at least 3 shadows, just amazing <3 Lasts forever, doesn't crease.

I own Half Moon, Short Circuit, and Bungalow. Half Moon is my favorite, as its a duochrome. This is a "jelly" eyeshadow, but its more like a liquid, but in a pot. It sets very quickly, so blending is difficult, even though application is as simple as swiping some on with a finger or brush. Clean up can be easily achieved with a qtip and some water. Wear time can be a little tricky. If I use these by themselves, I can get 8+ hours of no creasing, flaking, or fading. If I layer shadow over them, or layer another jelly shadow over them, they begin to flake off almost immediately. These shadows do not play well with other shadows! They look great on their own though, or layered OVER other eyeshadows. These do dry out quickly, but adding a few drops of tap water, closing the lid and the cap, and shaking it up very good will bring these back to life.

This is one of the most beautiful shadows I've ever used from CP! It's so dimensional, and much more red/blue than it looks online. When my partner bought it, we thought it would be more purple, but it comes off very red with loads and loads of blue flashes. Perfect for one shadow looks, and requires so little of the product. As far as application, it's kind of strange. The texture is very jelly-like and wet, as expected, but best applied to the lid in layers with fingers and blended out with a brush. I take just a little from my finger on the brush to make it a nice gradient. And removal is literally the easiest thing in the world. No staining, no tugging, no oils needed. Wipes off very easy with water--so be careful of tears with this formula!

The color is absolutely stunning - a kind of duochrome burgundy/plum with subtle gold reflects. It looks beautiful on the eyes and is saturated with pigment. That said, it’s an absolute mess working with it. The plastic jar has a cap insert that holds the product inside, and when you peel that off to open the jar, the product is everywhere - with a large amount smeared on the bottom of the cap, and all around the jar rim. It also sets almost immediately, so you have to blend the edges quickly. I had it all over my brush and my hands, and it required significant clean-up. It’s not like the Super Shock Shadows, which you can throw in your purse, apply with fingers, and have an interesting look out on the go, without a mess. It’s just not my favorite formula, despite being such a beautiful color, given that it’s such a high-maintenance product.
