There are 8 shades to choose from including a lovely taupe, but I decided to step out of my comfort zone and get something different, so I got Sea Breeze.
Sea Breeze is a shimmering light seafoam blue-almost minty, but not quite.
Marcelle Cream Eye Shadow+Liner are waterproof, smudge proof and apparently are supposed to wear for 9 + hours once set.
As a liner, this works well as long as you don't really smudge it. Once you try and smudge, it becomes patchy, which also means it kind of sucks as an all over eye shadow shade.

| Used as an eyeshadow on my deer in the headlight eye, then just used as an eyeliner on my bedroom eye on the bottom lash line paired with Fyrinnae Damn Paladins shadow. |
The pencil's really creamy texture just doesn't seem to meld well with the shimmer in it for some reason, so when you try to spread it around it becomes all patchy as you can see. I couldn't even apply more of the pencil on top to get it to look more even as that seemed to make it worse by actually removing colour!
I guess it's meant for a really sheer wash of colour? I don't know-I'm trying to be nice here, but it didn't matter if I used my finger or the shader on the pencil. I just couldn't get this to look good as a shadow. Sigh.
Maybe the other 7 shades work better, but for me Marcelle Cream Eye Shadow+Liner in Sea Foam will just be an eyeliner and that's ok, because I do really like this paired with Fyrinnae Damn Paladins eye shadow. I wan't crazy about that shadow either even though it's a taupe, but it pairs well with this eyeliner so that makes me happy.
Have you tried these? Are you fan of Eye Shadow+Liner pencils or not? I like them when they work and truthfully I think the Urban Decay ones are the best, but I hear they dry out really fast even though I haven't noticed that with mine. I see Stila has one now, and might try that one out.
