Review+Swatches - Jouer Crème Eyeshadow Crayons

I’m such a sucker for shadows in the stick form and these new ones from the JOUER line are right up my alley. They are called Crème Eyeshadow Crayons ($24 @ nordstrom.com) and come in 5 colors of creamy color and come with a built-in sharpener in the end. Love when companies think of this small but very important detail!

So how did they perform? Click after the jump to find out!

Avant Garde – shimmering navy charcoal – this was my favorite color of the bunch but I just wish it performed better than it did. This happened recently with the Chubby Sticks for Eyes from Clinique with a shade in this family, they both creased up less than an hour after applying it. Darn!
