    I love the versatility of this product. I can use it as a base for my blushes, as a highlighter on my cheekbones or brows, as an eyeshadow or eyeshadow base, and sometimes I'll wear it over or...

    I don't hate this product but it definitely didn't meet my expectations. In the light it is a little too glittery for my liking. It doesn't work that well as a base, though good for a quick...

    I bought shell thinking it would be much lighter and smother in consistency, like "hush" but sadly, it just wasn't to be. As a highlighter, its too glittery and slightly chunky. As a lip colour,...

    Shell is a "soft-pink beige with shimmer". I have tried this as a shadow base. No good. Creasy and greasy. I have tried this as a cheek/facial highlighter. No good. Sticky and too shiny. I have...

    I have to be completely honest, I've had this product for years! I initially used it for highlighting around my cheeks and as a plain eye shadow. I didn't care for it as an eye shadow on it's own,...

    Unfortunately this did not live up to my expectations. I use it as a lip color sometimes, because it totally creases on my eyelids. I have used it alone, just as a color by itself, and it creases....

    I love how this product looks by itself as an eyeshadow. It gives a natural look with a little bit of shimmer. When using it as an eyeshadow base, I didn't have much luck with it. After a few...

    I was looking for something that would give me a glossy, "wet" eye without having to resort to using goopy gloss, and I finally stumbled upon this. It's great paired with mascara for a natural,...

    Well, I dont use this as a blush, but as an eyeshadow base. I love the way it makes my eyeshadow pop, makes the color last all day. Very pretty and I love the results I get from it!
