10 Spring Awakening

While I was at CVS the other day, I found this brand called "10" which is pretty inexpensive (under $5) and had a lot of cremes that I figured could be dupes for several colors that I'm lemming (wishing for).  I accidentally photographed the top and not the name, but this one is called Spring Awakening.  10 is big 3 free and states that it has "micro matrix technology pairs breathability with durable, chip resistant protection, no streak, no smudge formula with a high shine UVA protection to resist fading."  Breathability?  Really?  That's not even a word!  Anyway.


This bottle is tall and tall bottles mean tall brushes.  I was kinda of scared that I was going to tip this bottle over the entire time.  I used Dermelect Launchpad, two coats of Spring Awakening and a top coat of Seche Vite.  The formula was horrid.  It pooled into my cuticles and was rather runny.


I tried to clean up my cuticles as much as possible but you can see it in my pointer finger and the pinkie was pretty bad too.


Slightly darker looking in the shade.  Overall it's a pretty color but just a bad formula.  I don't think I'll be purchasing many more of these unless I'm hit by sheer curiosity.


10 can be purchased at CVS/pharmacy.
