First off, I LOVE the packaging. The wand is so cute and the bottle and top and adorable. The eyeshadow itself it pretty good, but I was expecting more of a darker color instead of just all sparkle without too much color. I still love it on the brow bone or just when i dont feel like wearing much makeup. You would think that the sparkles from it would flake off and drop everywhere, but it really does. I would recommend putting this over another shadow since it might not stick, but this is still good as a stand alone shadow. The only bad thing i have to say about this is just the fact that i didnt like the color much since it showed up differently in the Seventeen Magazine model. But this is still an amazing product!

This eyeshadow is really easy to use and gives great, light color.
The brush did get bent and out of shape fairly quickly though. I did admire the overall neatness of this product. It was pretty smart that there's a slit the brush goes into and you have to shake it to access the dust. Was the cleanest cheap eyeshadow I have ever used.
There's not a huge color payoff. It's quite faint and doesn't really pack on.
Like any of their other products, great start into the world of makeup.
If you're looking for this eyeshadow to be worn to a real formal event, look elsewhere. But if you're a teenager; this is hassle free, quick to apply and very cheap.

This is so cute. Can be used as anything, not even just eyes. It's sparkly and shimmery and pretty.

I don't know why I took so long to try this. I have eyed these int he store for years, but always assumed that the packing wouldn't work and that it would suck.
The packaging is awkward at first, but I'll admit over time I have come to appreciate it. I is a lot less messy then the jars most loose shadows come in, meaning that I get more use out of this. It also travels well, and so I keep it in my make up back for grab-and-go days.
The brush applicator could be better, but I can work with it. I often times stick my own brush in there and use that, but if in a hurry or away from home, It's just fine. When there is no more product on the bottom, you just have to shake it a bit some more will fall off the sides and down to the bottom where the little whole is.
I have been using this a lot for my everyday look. I use a little black eyeliner, bronzer in the crease and pat some of this onto the center of the lid and inner corners. It instantly makes my quick make up look much more fun and flirty. It is very shimmery, but not over the top if used correctly - on my opinion. For more dramatic going out looks you can use this more heavily and on the brow bone & cheek as a highlight for a super glamorous look.
I would totally buy this again, and I can't wait to try the other shades. I think it is a great find - I am so glad I checked the review on MUA for this, and finally decided to try it! This is truly a drugstore gem!

Wow! I'm impressed! I usually stay away from drugstore makeup, but I kept seeing good reviews on this site, so I picked it up at Target. It was only $3.79! I love my makeup to look as natural as possible, so this is really perfect for me. I sweep once it over my eyelids and it brightens up my eye without the cake-iness that many cheap and even some expensive eyeshadows tend to produce. I also use this as a cheek highlighter and it works great. Thanks, MakeupAlley!

I love this!
I have greenish blue eyes and the Champagne color makes them sparkle!
It gets kind of messy though.. When I put it on the dust makes a visible cloud in the air.. kind of awkward when I'm putting it on in a public bathroom.
The brush also gets kind of ruined after a while because of the weird packaging.
I put it on by itself with no other eyeshadows and it's easy when you're in a rush.

I love it! It's a beautiful eye-brightening eyeshadow. The brush it comes with kinda sucks, but it gets the job done. This pretty pixie dust barely creases without a primer and looks good all day. Another cool thing is you'll probably never run out (; It looks best all over the lid, as a highlight, or on the inner corners. So pretty!

This eyeshadow is so cute! It reminds me of pixie dust, in both consistency and color. The shadow is a pretty, sheer, peach-ish gold with shimmers, just like fairy dust. It's a really natural looking color that simply brightens your eyes, giving them a sort of dewy look. I like using this day-to-day, just to give your eyes a bit of sparkle. I also recently discovered that if you use a light hand with a fluffier brush, you can use this as a highlighter just over the top of your cheek bones, and it just brightens up your whole face. Amazing product and only for a couple bucks...!

I have been using the same container for YEARS, and I still haven't run out! It gives me a hint of color with gorgeous shimmer that brightens my eyes. I love the subtle "pop" and finish that it gives me. It also stays put on my oily skin when applied over eyeshadow.
I can't live without it!

Love this eye shadow! Cheap, nice package, easy to use! The goldish color of the shadow makes my blue eyes stand out nicely. Definitely must-have!

I absolutely love this color I reach for it over and over again. I have a lot of e/s but this remains one of my favorites it is always in my makeup bag in case I am doing my makeup on the go. Great all year round as my color changes from nc40-nc45. The container is perfect for tapping excess off as it catches all of the remaining. It costs next to nothing. I think this color is also the best out of all the NYC e/s too.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this shimmery shadow! i wear it every day, its not at all over the top, the color though somewhat sheer is absoultly gorgeous, its wonderful for everyday use when you want to look natural and pretty. It add the perfect twinkle to my eyes. i'm on my third container of this and would be so crushed if they discontinued this wonderful product

It is shimmery and frosty without being glittery. It gives my eyes a nice wide awake look without being too made up or complicated. Im not crazy for the packaging and use my own brush. The lasting power isn't the best. I used it with TFSI and it still creased. I have this in other shades but I think this was the best of the bunch

This stuff is good! I don't like the packaging at all though! Really nice color and the pigmentation is good. Nice and sparkly/satiny finish. Good price too.

I still love that this line of "sparkle eye dust" manages to look shimmery without being glittery. This is a light color that looks good highlighting a darker shade. Very fun and cute. One downside: if you lose the screw on top (as i did) it's very messy. It's messy either way, the application leaves something to be desired.

I use this every single day as my go-to color. I do not think this eyeshadow is glittery at all -- it's frosty. There are no big glitter pieces. I am fair skinned and I swipe this on my lids and it's the perfect sheer wash of gold to brighten up my eyes and never looks overly made up. It's a very subtle gold that makes my eyelids look dewy and natural -- this is not a garish gold, it's sheer. I do brown or navy mascara that's it -- my neutral eye look. I just do my eyelids and a few times I've even dabbed some against my lower lash line with a small pointy smudge applicator. It's never been too much. On darker skin this might show up more and I guess if someone applied a lot it could look very dramatic and/or costumey, but from someone who is an eyeshadow veteran, this is really not offensive in the least for every day use. I use a light hand. I even swipe this over other colors sometimes to soften them up or make them just a tad warmer or give them more depth, (like over my sage-green eyeshadow it creates this beautiful warm green-gold!)
I don't mind the container too much either. It seems compact and cute and I guess since the shadow is loose powder it keeps it from spilling out everywhere. My only pet peeve is that the little brush seems to get absolutely devastated. I try to be careful when putting it back into the container but every day the brush hairs seem to look bent and all crazy, more than the day before haha. Also I bought another color in this line -- Pink Champage. The brush in that one came all screwy, bristles stuck together and stiff. It seriously looked like someone had tried to style the brush with mousse or something and it was dried hahaha. I ended up doing a little surgery on the brush, snipping bristles here and there and now it's OK. :)

It's cute and the concept is interesting, but it's not very pigmented and the glitter just gets everywhere!

I love this stuff! I wear it everyday just because I don't often like to spend time doing my makeup and with this i just swipe it on and it looks great. For people who say they don't like the glitter... it does say "sparkle dust" but it you would like less glitter.. apply less? It's honestly barely visible unless you put on a lot that's why I wear it all the time, it just gives your eyes a little shimmer. It also lasts a really long time I've had it for months and I'm still not even half way through the little jar. Speaking of the jar... it doesn't allow for you to use another brush but I also don't really mind the brush but I can see how it irritates some people.

This is a really nice color for highlighting, or for a casual day all over the lid color. It is a very nice, obviously champagne color, and I would like it even better if it didn't have the glitter in it! I feel like this has a lot of glitter in it, and that combined with the packaging- which I do not like: I give this four lippies. But without the glitter and with better packaging, this would have five lippies.
