I picked out two shades that I knew I would wear and that I think a lot of people will buy. I know a lot of people will be curious about these, so I wanted to go ahead and do a quick post about them.
Caramel is a beautiful, shimmery bronze. Chocolate is a matte, deep brown. They are stunning and pair well together or with other shadows.

I really like the texture of these. They are very creamy and lightweight. As a result, they apply and blend pretty easily. This is probably one of the easiest formulas to work with as far as cream eyeshadows go. The color payoff is great, too. Considering how thin and lightweight they feel, I didn't really expect the pigment to be as good as it is. One of my biggest issues with cream shadows is the creasing that often goes along with them. I have worn each shade a few times and I have experienced no creasing or fading at all. They don't accentuate any fine lines on my eyelid, either. I have also used the shade Chocolate as an eyeliner and it worked just as well.
Revlon did something a little unique, and also something that I expected to be rather useless. They included a little brush that snaps into the cap. I didn't think I would have any use for this. However, the brushes are actually handy and apply the shadow very well. They are the perfect size and it saves me from having to dirty up one of my other brushes. Plus it is handy to have the brush attached to the product itself. Knowing me, I would have already lost both brushes otherwise.
So far, I am very impressed with these new cream shadows. In fact, this is the first Revlon product I have ever liked. So far I have only seen these at Walmart, but they should be popping up in drugstores very soon.
