The duo is called Gossamer Wing and it contains Atlas Swallowtail (nude taupe) and Brocade Skipper (beige/champagne). The finish is semi-matte, yet slightly luminous so that they don't look flat.
Swatched below then blended,
These are my two favourite shades from the cream line up, ones I've re-bought a few times and recently ran out of so it was rather fortuitous when RBR sent me this duo to try.
The shadows work a a primer or
lid colour, providing a sheer wash of colour or built up to be
more opaque.
Shown below applied sheerly with no primer and this is after about 7 hours wear,
The duo has doe foot applicators for easy application. It has a
creamy yet lightweight texture that applies smoothly and evenly.
I do not find these drying and love that they do not go on
patchy and the edges blend out seamlessly.
The wear time is really good, I can get around 7 hours (with no
primer) with just minimal fade and no creasing.
There's everything to like about this product, the colours look
very natural and are great for that nude yet defined looked.
They apply effortlessly and have a lasting wear that you can
trust and the actual design is great for travelling. I think
whats also worth noting is that unlike a lot of cream shadows
on the market these are especially forgiving on older lids where
lines/folds are an issue.

Thanks for the review, Clare! I received this as well, so I really need to buckle down and give it a go ASAP! Glad to hear it wears so well on you. I am properly excited about it now :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you like it as much as I do, I do hope they come out with some more shades in the future as its such an easy formula to work with.
DeleteHmm intrigued, I should try it as well, can't wait!
ReplyDeleteIts really great for that effortless nude eye look, I think the lighter shade might work as a base shade on your skintone.
DeleteMy eyes don't always like cream formulations, but this looks so practical and tempting...
ReplyDeleteMine either, some creams feel really tight so this is a pleasure to use. I took this duo on holiday and it was all I used for eyeshadow, very handy.
DeleteThis looks so interesting. I love RBR and cream shadows so perhaps a match made in heaven?!

I think so :) These shades are just so easy to use and wear, great for when I am in a rush, which seems most mornings :)
DeleteI forgot about my creams from RBR so I need to get them out and remind myself how much I liked them. I'm so happy to see a review and the colors swatched.
ReplyDeleteHi Marcia, glad its been of use, yes dig out your RBR cream eyeshadows :) I think they are the one cream shadow that I have rebought the same shades a few times which shows how good they are.
DeleteSo pretty, I love RBR products, I think they make great stuff. I love cream shadows so this is right up my alley. I think the colours suit you wonderfully.
ReplyDeleteThanks :) I think this will be a popular product, RBR are easily one of my fav brands.
Deleteokay... I think I need to give this a go! I've been looking for an excuse to try out more RBR stuff and a coupon code is a perfect reason to do just that ;)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a good idea, I can never resist discount codes, will look forward to seeing what you buy ;)
