Product:
The Almay Velvet Foil Cream Shadow in Golden Vibes and Cupid Glaze are a cream eyeshadow formula. it a has a soft texture that dried down and sets after 10 minutes, you do have some wiggle room when you apply these. These shades work best with a finger but they can be applied with a brush. These shade can also cake up if you apply too much product on the eyes as the formula is buildable I was trying to apply more to the inner corner around the tear duct and it does look thick and crackly these when I did do my first wear test with these.
An interesting thing about the formula is certain shades have Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate in them but most of the shades actually doesn't have this nice white glitter ingredient. I found the that the shade Cupid Glaze which does have it the glitter faded over the course of the day faster than the base colour and the shimmer in the base colour still look the same. This is not to be unexpected without using s primer of glitter glue was it is a larger particle compared to traditional pigments.
The Almay Lip Vibes in Be Fearless is a cream formula lipstick that glides on to be opaque on the lips but it's not a true matte looking lipstick on the lips. This shade was pretty consistent while applying and I did notice some minor creases in the lip lines but it's not nat unusually for the lipstick to do that with me. I will say it does have some slip on the lips so don't try to rub them too much as it can smear compared to a truer matte formula. ;)
Wear: The Almay Velvet Foil Cream Shadow wear for 12 hours before I notice any fading and was still going into the 16th hour for me. I did find my wear time speed up in terms of fading during one test when I rudding my one eye through the day those. ;) so don't do that.
The Alamy Lip Vibes in Be Fearless I get about 5-6 hours to wear before fading occurs.
Packaging:
The Almay Velvet Foil Cream Shadow is a plastic tube with a plastic cap that keeps the product from drying out while the tube stays flexible.
The Almay Lip Vibes bullet style lipstick packaging is a paper stock tube that doesn't feel cheap or thin at all and rather sturdy, with a clear window lid and inside plastic components.
Verdict:
I know this collection came out in the US back in October so it's super delayed release here in Canada but I'm rather impressed with Almay to reach outside their branding comfort so zone to promote newer product formulas. The Almay Velvet Foil Cream Shadow although initially reminded me of a MAC Paint, formula wise i feel more like K-Beauty cream eyeshadow. I'm also glad it preforms so well given these are some of the more problematic shades in the range from my research.
Almay Lip Vibes in Be Fearless matte lipstick formula is a rather nice addition to the market but it's not overwhelming exciting to me as it's more a satin cream formula.
