The Newbie - Jouer Creme Eyeshadow Crayon

Jouer is one of my favourite brands. I discovered it when Birchbox sent me their lipgloss which is still one of my all time favourite lip products. So when I had the chance to purchase the Creme Eyeshadow Crayons ($24.00 for 2g) I jumped at the opportunity. There are a few Nordstroms around the country that have Jouer counters but I think you can buy the entire line online as well. I also believe Cult Beauty carries their products and they ship internationally.

I picked 2 colours - Baroque and Avant Garde. Both are stunning. Baroque is a metallic brown coppery shade and is my favourite. Avant Garde is a deep blue shade that is almost matte, great for smudging out for a blue based smokey eye. I find that using a stiff blending brush does the trick.

The packaging is to die for, with a sleek dark olive pen with gold writing. I actually quite like that it is plastic as it's not heavy to tote around. I adore that it's twist up and does not require sharpening. However if you want to use this as an eye liner, Jouer have included a sharpener at the back of the pen (see pics below). These apply wonderfully as they are super creamy and the application is smooth and even. I do wish these lasted longer on me though. I find that even with a primer they start fading dramatically after 6 hours of wear. But I still love them and would love to try some more colours.

Have you tried these yet? What do you think of them?
