Sydney Grace Warm Weather, Wish, Worth the Wait Cream Shadows Reviews & Swatches
Warm Weather
Sydney Grace Warm Weather Cream Shadow ($8.00 for 0.33 oz.) is a medium, reddish-copper with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which adhered evenly and smoothly to my skin as the product had good spreadability without losing its intensity. The texture was lightweight, spreadable, and fluid without being too runny or too thick. It dried down quickly (so work one eye at a time!), and it was fairly set, but I was able to diffuse and soften the edges without it flaking. This shade stayed on well for 10 hours before creasing faintly on me.

Formula Overview
$8.00/0.33 oz. - $24.24 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to "dry down to a smudge proof finish" that isn't waterproof but "will last all day on the lids." The brand recommends working "one eye at a time" as the formula "dr[ies] fairly quickly." It is a very pigmented formula where the merest dab of product--like as little as one can physically squeeze out of the tube--is enough for most of the mobile lid.
If you're someone who tends to use their cream eyeshadows as sheer washes of color, I think this formula is "too" pigmented and dries too quickly to make sheer application as effortless as you'd want. If you love the effect of and finish of creamier, metallic eyeshadows and want true, full coverage application, these are worth looking into. I recommend squeezing out the smallest amount of product on the back of your hand or onto a mixing palette, and then using fingertips or a flat, synthetic brush to apply to the lid. I prefer a brush as it gives more working time than when I used my fingertips.
The texture was smooth, like a liquid-cream hybrid as it wasn't runny but it was more spreadable than a cream eyeshadow you'd find in a jar. The majority of shades applied evenly to bare skin with little effort, and the edges remained blendable enough (even as it was mostly dried down) to soften and fuse with other shades. They're very lightweight and the majority of them sat well on my lids without emphasizing lines or texture (sometimes an issue with liquid/cream, more metallic products).
It didn't have that dry down that felt so set and locked in that if you kept trying to blend it out (after it was dry) you'd get flaking; these never flaked or lifted. Based on past experiences--in general with cream eyeshadows--I recommend working with your powder eyeshadows first (unless you're using it as a base), and then going in with the cream eyeshadows and going back over any areas to further blend if necessary. That being said, I was able to layer powder eyeshadow over them without them lifting or becoming patchy. They're some of the easiest cream eyeshadows I've worked with to incorporate into multi-shade looks. The wear varied from eight to ten hours on me before there was slight fading or a bit of creasing.
My only complaint is that with a six-month shelf life paired with so much color payoff... one tube is so much product. These could be sold half-sized tubes and still stretch for many, many uses. I really enjoy the squeeze-tube packaging along with the smaller opening, as it made it much easier to control than some other liquid/cream products.

Wish
Sydney Grace Wish Cream Shadow ($8.00 for 0.33 oz.) is a light purple with cool undertones and a bright, metallic finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that applied well to bare skin with a smooth, even application that blended easily along the edges. It had a fluid texture that was spreadable but not too runny or too thin, so it retained its intensity and coverage. For sheerer coverage, I’d highly recommend applying a dab on the back of your hand or a mixing palette and then using a fluffy brush to swirl it onto the lid as it is such a pigmented product. It wore well for 10 hours before fading slightly.

Worth the Wait
Sydney Grace Worth the Wait Cream Shadow ($8.00 for 0.33 oz.) is a bright, rich gold with warm undertones and a bright, metallic finish. It was intensely pigmented where very little went a very long way! The texture was lightweight, spreadable, and felt and looked thin on my lid, so it sat smoothly and didn’t emphasize my lid texture (despite being so metallic!). The edges could still be diffused a bit after it dried down (without disturbing the product), but you’ll want to work one eye at a time for major blending/diffusing as it dried down quickly. The eyeshadow lasted well for 10 hours without fading or creasing on me.
