Product Review: Benefit's "R.S.V.P." Creamless Cream Shawdow & MAC "Bare Study" Paint Pot

Who doesn't know about MAC's famous paint pots?!

Well, I actually purchased this product on a whim when I was shopping at a Mac Cosmetics store. I purchased "Bare Study" which can be described as a frosty champagne colour. When applied, there is barely any colour (which I liked) except for the hint of frost. I usually apply this product as a highlight (but you can use it as a eye shawdow as well) on my brows, but you can obviously try it out in various ways. That's the joy of make-up - experimenting with a product!

Paint pot products have a very creamy, light texture, which is ironic, but it is good for people with oily lids. Therefore, no primer is needed, but you can always apply a layer of primer, IF you want. The packing is sleek and elegant, and I've got no compliments for it.

However, because the product has a creamy texture, it does dry out if you do not store it or close the lid properly.
But other than that, if you want a classy, nice, brightening high ligher for your cheek bones, inner tear duct or brow bone, "Bare Study" is the most natural and flattering colour for people who have light to medium skin.

Another dupe that I've found for MAC's Bare Study" paint pot is Benefit's "R.S.V.P." Creamless Cream Shawdow!!
I actually got the sample product, for it was part of a "free" gift from Sephora's beauty insider. Speaking of which, people who shop at Sephora should definitely have a beauty insider card - they have a point system where every 100 and 500 points gets you amazing makeup steals!

So, Benefit's "R.S.V.P." Creamless Cream Shawdow is a creamy, but a heavier texture compared to MAC's "Bare Study". Again, the colour is the exact dupe of "Bare Study" where it can be described as a frosty champagne colour. Because the formula is a tad bit heavier than "Bare Study", i usually apply this product on my lids. Plus, the heavier texture shows up on my lids better compared to the light formula of "Bare Study"

The lasting power on both products are the same. However, when applied with a eye primer, the shadows do last longer on the lid without creasing/smudging.

I currently don't have my camera with me right now, but I will definitely post up swatches of the two products I just reviewed.

INDULGE.
