Cliff Jumping
Sydney Grace Cliff Jumping Cream Shadow (2020) ($8.00 for 0.34 oz.) is a light-medium taupe with subtle, warm undertones and almost a pewter-like, metallic sheen. It had opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which applied evenly and smoothly to bare skin.
The texture was lightweight, fluid, and quick to dry down to a more powder-like finish where it remained blendable along the edges but was no longer emollient. It stayed on well for eight and a half hours before creasing and closer to nine and a half hours before fading in color/finish.

Formula Overview
$8.00/0.34 oz. - $23.53 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's an incredibly pigmented formula in most instances, where a little dab is more than enough to cover the mobile lid. I always find squeezing out product onto the back of my hand or onto a metal palette is the best way to get going with these.
It was recently formulated to extend the shelf life, which went from six months to 12 months, but there were changes to the base formula, which I found shortened the wear time for me overall--by an hour or two. Previously, they wore between eight and 10 hours on me with most shades on the longer end of that range.
With the updated formula, the wear was more eight to nine hours with a tendency to crease over fade, so if I applied it to the inner tearduct or the brow bone, the wear was more like nine hours or even ten hours, but if I wore the same shade in my crease, it would have creasing by eight hours. Otherwise, the formula tended to apply, blend, and work like the original formula--I just noticed that the wear time was a little reduced.
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.
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.

My Bond
Sydney Grace My Bond Cream Shadow (2020) ($8.00 for 0.34 oz.) is a medium-dark, reddish-brown base with blue-to-teal shifting sparkle that gave it a metallic finish. It had nearly opaque color coverage in one layer, which was easily built up to full coverage if desired.
The consistency was very fluid, thin, and spreadable initially, though it was quick to dry down to a flexible, more powder-like finish that remained blendable along the edges. It wore well for eight and a half hours before creasing and closer to nine and a half hours before fading visibly.
