I was doing a little internet shopping the other day (click here to see what else i purchased!) and I came across a Benefit Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow in Sippin' 'n' Dippin' for £6.95 on cheapsmells.com (It is a limited edition shade but currently on the Benefit website for £14). Having never tried these before, but heard great things about them, I added it to my cart thinking that the colour looked pretty and wearable.

When it arrived, I discovered that it is an almost exact dupe for MAC's much admired and celebrated Rubenesque paint pot, which will set you back £13.50.

I'm sure most of you will have seen Rubenesque, if not own it yourself but I thought I'd upload a few comparison pics for you all to see.

Those of you thinking of picking up Rubenesque may want to reconsider as personally, I think Sippin' 'n' Dippin' may be slightly better. The formulation is thinner and easier to apply, while the colour is ever-so-slightly more peachy/pink, with rubenesque being more predominantly gold.

What do you think ladies? Do any of you own either of these? Will anyone be checking out Sippin' 'n' Dippin'? At that price I think it's hard to say no!
