I would call this color a bronzed sunset loaded with gold and copper shimmer. It would make a lovely lip color for the fall on the right skin tone. I am too fair skinned and cool toned to pull this off.

I received this as part of a free gift. I don't like this lipstick very much, so I will try to make this review concise.

The good: quality of the lipstick, excellent packaging, comfortable texture despite the large glittering particles. The base color is also a nice peachy tone, what little you can see of it that is.

The bad: the glitter. This is not a lipstick with a subtle glean or shimmer. The finish is frosty, extremely light reflective, and the glitter - yes glitter - particles are HUGE. When I tried to wipe this lipstick off and then rinsed my mouth with water, I ended up with a very noticable "glitter beard" all around my mouth and chin as well as my fingers and obviously, lips. This was after an application of one swipe on the upper and lower lips. Apart from the glitter and the incredible glitter "fallout," I personally found the fragrance of the lipstick to be very strong, persistent and unpleasant in the sense that it smelled like chemicals trying to pass as florals. This would normally not bother me in a lipstick, except that the smell did NOT fade after a minute or two. To be fair I find this scent problem in most Estee Lauder lipsticks as well, not just "Tiger Eye."

I can say nothing about the wear of this lipstick because I simply couldn't keep it on my lips long enough to give it a trial run. If you are a fan of peachy lipsticks with a very frosty finish, and young enough to wear glitter lipstick, AND you don't do things like wipe your lipstick off before drinking from a glass or eating your lunch, you may like this. As I said, the colour is not terrible at all, a nice neutral for fall. Also for having so much overwhelming glitter in it, the texture is amazingly smooth (for a glitter lipstick. It still won't stand against creamy and moisturizing finish lipsticks). For those reasons one extra lip. But definitely not for someone of my age, olfactory sense or lipstick wearing practices. If you do wear this especially in a professional environment, you really have to watch out for fallout if your lipstick smears; I imagine the glitter would easily transfer to dark clothing as well.

Can you say GORGEOUS fall lips? This is a sparkly, bronzy, peachy shade, actually hard to describe as it changes when the sun hits it, almost like a prism effect.

Yes this lipstick is very glittery and sparkly which I love.

Try it with a plum or mauve liner, it totally changes the color, simply stunning!

I received this product as a gift with purchase. This product, Tiger Eye Shimmer, would have looked nice on me 30 years ago. Unfortunately, the amount of shimmer (OK, I wouldn't classify it as a shimmer-it's just pure sparkly, big glitter, overload) is not at all complementary to my middle-age lips. This product will be nice to set aside for my nieces to play around with when they visit, or to use on Halloween. Ugh!!!

I got a full size tube of this as a gift with purchase. Actually I got two tubes because I managed to score another gift with purchase on a second purchase. So I have a lot of Tiger Eye lipstick lol! This color is not bad once you get past the shimmer. (Did I mention the SHIMMER? Yep, guess I did.) I really wish I liked this color more. Too light for me, and yes SHIMMER. Good thing it was free. The formula isn't bad-just totally the wrong color and yes, the SHIMMER. If you like nudey beigey shimmery lipsticks-this is definitely for you. Just not for me.

I really like this color. I apply one coat of it and add a soft lip gloss and I'm good to go for the day. It lasts on my lips for about 4 hours, which is pretty decent since I drink water like a fish. I'm on my second tube of it and I have to say I really enjoy this color.

Love this shade. It is a beautiful warm toned light brown (or more of a coral, on my skin tone) with a gorgeous shimmery finish which I have been loving lately as it really seems to define and plump one's lips. As for the formula, it is quite rich and comfortable feeling (although there are better lipsticks, if one wants intense moisturising) and has a good staying power. Definitely going to be a new favourite of mine! But it is shimmery, so if you do not like shimmer, I wouldn't get this one...but if you love some shimmer you will love this lipstick.

I only like the red one with the gold ripply cap I have at home in my makeupcollectiona long with many other expensive brands and stuff........... It looks professional. I don't really like Estee Lauder and it is a creepy name. She is a creepy looking woman, and she started out these cool makup brands except for her own. She looks like mean person, so should I wear makeup that makes me look mean, like those sq1uare bulky black glasses make Sarah Palin looooook mea, should I wear it so it makes me look mean, jk

edit: tried the regular version - blue tube - vs the LE BRONZE GODDESS one i reviewed below. regular one is amazing; LE one is horrible. dunno why this is
===

This works on top of my mac fluid very well. Alone, it looks good too, but doesn't last. Also, colour payoff is pathetic. I've had far superior ds lippies.
Texture: gritty, thickly embedded with chunky particles of glitter.
Wear: poor, does not last long.
Finish: sheer, glossy, with aforementioned chunks of glitter.
Repurchase/recommend: nopes to both
I can make it work, so three stars for that. since someone gave it as part of my bday gift, i can't return it. But it's not bad, just underwhelming.
Oh, and let me mention the worst part before i forget: packaging. It LOOKS good but the lipstick part fell out of the gold part and i had to put it back in!!! It no longer winds up/down, and all round PITA. I just saw guerlainAD's review: EXACT same thing happened to me.
