New cream eyeshadow are so fun to try, so when I saw L.O.V. offers some lovely, very wearable shades, I decided to try one despite the heftier price tag for drugstore. I picked a shade that isn't common in the drugstore, but I have a few similar powder ones, which are my favourite and in fact this was the type of shades I wore all the time five-four years ago (yay for UD's Stash eyeliner). Considering how expensive these are and how amazing the competition is, including from L.O.V.s sister brands Essence and Catrice, I expected a lot, but I have to say both the cheaper versions are actually better.

Texture: this has quite a strange texture that I never seen before other than in a stick foundation, which I think was from Maybelline (it was something like Fit me stick). It feels cooling wet when you're applying it. Pigmentation is good and you get a metallic effect before you blend it out, however, the application isn't as smooth as at my other cream eyeshadows, but not because it's too thick, rather too wet, so it skips some parts. You can see that on the outer edge of my lash line in the bortom picture. This means you have to layer the product for an even finish, but it can be done. It blends a bit harder than others and I need a lot of time, but it blends out into a green-taupe shade.
