Ever a lover of cream eyeshadow sticks (seriously, how can you not love a shadow you can just swipe on and go!?), I was thrilled to be sent this budget-friendly Waterproof Eyeshadow Pen* from Born Pretty. I went for Shade 4 which is a pretty pale green pearl; there are twelve shades available in total, ranging from a pretty silvery-white, through neutral champagnes and browns, to brighter shades including blues and purples - there should be something for everyone, and you can check out the full range of shades here.

The packaging is pretty basic (although the outer packaging was really pretty - a lovely floral box with holographic accents), which is fair for a product of this price bracket; a sleek black crayon-style product with a click-on cap, you twist up the product to use. I'm a fan of this format as it's quick and easy to use, with no messy, wasteful sharpening of pencils. The band of colour around the base of the crayon is a nice touch and would certainly be handy if you had a few of these crayons, to help you pick out the shade you're after without uncapping them all.

I've found the formula to be pretty nice - it's smooth and creamy, transferring easily onto the lids without any tugging or dragging. The pigmentation is really nice, with a good colour pay-off from one swipe, and the option to build up a little more intensity with a second swipe, for a deeper colour. I really like greens on my eyes and would wear this alone as a liner shade (first photo below); my favourite way to wear it, however, is as a base for a gold powder shadow (shown here is Stila's 'Champagne'), whereby it gives a lovely olive-y, antiqued-gold effect which I think is really pretty and super wearable! Excuse my tired early-morning eyes here...

In terms of lasting power, I've not had any problems with fading or transferring on my oily lids; even after a busy shift at work, this is still going strong after a good ten hours of wear, which is always nice for those days when you just don't have time to be checking your eye make-up and neatening up smudges. Born Pretty's Waterproof Eyeshadow Pens are available in twelve shades, priced at an affordable £3.23 each - you can check out the available shades here! Don't forget you can also get 10% off site-wide when you enter my discount code 'JESSMK31' at checkout. Are you a fan of cream eyeshadows? Would you try these out?
