3/8/2016: NOT vegan, NOT cruelty free
People often sing the praises of these Maybelline Eye Studio Color Tattoo cream eyeshadows. I love cream products for my face, but I'd never tried cream eyeshadows before. I thought that this would be a good starting point because of the positive reviews, and since I've got a bit of a thing for pink right now.

Inked in Pink is a satin metallic peachy-pink color. The undertone is warm, making this a very suitable color for summer.
This product is solid and not a true 'cream', as I usually think of it. The consistency of this product is nearly identical to NYX's Gel Liner and Smudger.
It is difficult to pick up on any brush other than a very stiff one so I usually just apply it with fingers, which works very well. The cream goes on very opaque and will full-on intensity.
The staying power of this product is insane, nearly rivaling NYX's eyeliners. I swatched this on my hand for the first time yesterday. It stayed through three hours of working, washing my hands, and purposely trying to smudge it. Did it fade? A small bit, but not very noticeable. Did it smudge? Absolutely not. Not even the tiniest bit.

CONCLUSION
I love this product! I'm now browsing through all the other colors to see which other ones I want. At only about $6.99, these are a very high quality inexpensive product.
