Convenient But Creased for Me

Buxom kindly gave me this dual ended eyeshadow/eyeliner pencil for free so that I could review it. I have used several Buxom products over the years, and was really excited to try this. I think this is the perfect product for travel or day to day when you want to only wear one eye shadow shade. The ...applicator on the eyeshadow side is a sponge type applicator which I found really unique to a product like this. I'm used to eyeshadow crayons in similar products and definitely preferred this sponge applicator. I tried using this in more of a "glam" look in which I used other matte eyeshadow colors in my crease first and the Buxom shadow on my lids last, and I feel like those other eyeshadows somehow dried out the Buxom eyeshadow applicator and made it difficult to apply. When I used this product as a standalone eyeshadow I did not have that issue. I did notice some creasing with this shadow both on its own and when combined with other eyeshadows. I didn't try a primer though, so that would probably help (it would just add another product and extra time to my routine which I feel like this product is trying to prevent). I have skin/eyelids that lean dry, so don't usually notice much creasing with my normal eyeshadows. I really do like the eyeliner side of this 2-in-1 pencil though! it glides on super smooth and is really easy to blend. I tried the shade Pretty Penny, and I love the rose gold color of the eyeshadow and the rich brown liner. They compliment each other very well! I have blueish eyes so I feel like this is the perfect combo to make my eyes pop. Overall I like this product and will use it, but I don't think I would purchase again. It's convenient if you only wear one shade of eyeshadow, but the creasing for me is a big downside.
