I hold my hands up, I've never used a cream eyeshadow in my life. I've only recently found out they exist. And it looks like I've decided to try them out at the best time as Maybelline and Bourjois have brought out a new collection of gel-cream eyeshadows. I've seen review after review of these little pots, not one ever bad, and I desperately needed a dark, reddish eyeshadow for halloween, this was the first thing I came across.
