I was fortunate to get this in a swap as i would not pay full price for this. When i got it, the soft texture has already crumbled in transit and i am kinda left to "press" it before use. #10 is a pale pink with silver glitter. The chunks kind of migrated easily, did not stay in place. I would much prefer the AOS liquid which gives better hold. IMO this is simply drugstore quality. You do get a nice big mirror in compact and the shape is neat and slim. But regards to the product it is simply mediocre.

I have this in #6.
This is such a pretty color in the compact, but it doesn't show up on my fair skin at all.

Thank goodness I bought these cheap off of Ebay- I would have been ticked off if I'd paid full price for them. I own whole line, #s 6-9, which are the brown, white, pale gold and pink ones, respectively. Can't believe these are going for $30 each on the Stila website; what a ripoff! Although finely milled, these powders are disco ball shimmery and last, literally, an hour on me. Never had this problem before with any powder I've used. Also ends up migrating to my clothes and hair. Itches my face too, which is a first- I've never had a reaction from anything I've put on my face. Very unimpressed. Shame on you, Stila! I'll stick to eyeshadows and blushes from this line from now on.

I love stila so this is another great product by stila, in my opinion. I love the shimmery look this gives me, a subtle glow on my cheeks that makes me look alive, pretty and awake. I've tried other highlighters and they usually make me look like a disco ball or they just clump up with my foundation. This is very light, like a very fine dust that just settles on the skin and makes it radiant. I put it on over my blush, mostly on my cheeks. For me, this doesnt highlight my body as much as it does my face I usually like to use the UD highligthers for a more noticeable body shimmer as this is very subtle. I agree with the other person who said it gives them a movie star glow...if you are into highlighters, definetly get this!

I bought this in #8 (pale, gold-ish) and #10 (plum). I am BBB, NC25 w/ green eyes. I use the AOS for my face. It is not too glittery so it is well suited to adding a bit of radiance to one's face. When I use my YSL Teint Parfait as foundation, I use the AOS on top of my blush only. But when I use a Stila's Illuminating Foundation or Tinted Moisturizer, I apply some AOS lightly all over my face. The AOS just brightens your complexion and is subtle enough to wear during the day, at the office.

I've got this in the white shade (#7). This multi-purpose highlighter powder works well sometimes, but sometimes it can be quite disappointing. You have to apply alot to get some fairly noticeable shine. I think there are lotsa cheaper alternatives out there, so I don't think I'll get this again.

This is a worthwhile product. The shimmer gives your face a glow that looks beautiful, not greasy or too shiny. The shimmer gives a glow to you face that looks like you are a movie star.

I love these powders! I have #8(pale yellow/gold) and a pale lilac shade in a 5-pan, which I think is #6. They give a "glow" to the skin, without being glittery. I would call it more of a "lit from within" effect than a traditional shimmer. I like to use them high on my cheekbones & around the outside corners of my eyes,which seems to magically make me look better.In fact, their effect reminds me of good TV lighting, in that they make you look more awake and alive-think of the great lighting on Oprah for example, and how it even flatters the audience. Expensive but worth it!

I hated this...made more pores look bigger. Just sat right in them and said 'Look at me'.

These are...super-sparkly. A little bit OTT to use on the face, even. I use a teeny bit when I go out sometimes, but all in all, I prefer Becca for shimmer powders. I do like using these on my decolletage though- pretty.

This adds a touch of color and a pretty shimmery where ever you apply it. I like to use it as a blush or sometimes on my brow bone if I'm going for a sexy look. Yes, it is expensive but the results are worth the high price tag.

Pricey but worth it! I use it to add a sexy shimmer to my cheeks or browbone. I'm so glad that I took the plunge and bought this.

I think I prefer the original cream AOS. These didn't seem to last as long on me, and it was a bit messier.

Stila either has great hits or misses in my opinion and I'm leaning towards a miss for this one. In a small and yet 'cute' plastic compact is the pressed powder/shimmer. The price of this tiny thing is HUGE and I definately balked at the price. I had this used on me during an ABC event. I could BARELY see sparkles let alone any colour and to me, that did not justify the high cost. I'd recommend NARS over this... with NARS, you get pigment, gorgeous shades and definite shimmer.

Got this for free and am thrilled with it! It works as a regular powder for me since the shimmer factor is low (it's there but not all that noticeable). It does make my skin glow, which is something a regular pressed powder wouldn't do. I love this stuff.

Nothing special. Overpriced shimmer in a cute compact. Not pigmented enough at all.

Great shimmer powder used on it's own as a blush if you are fair-toned or as a highlighter. definitely go lightly in the daytime (if at all) as this stiff is very shimmery. At night it gives a wonderful pearly and glittery shimmer--plus the packaging is a lot cuter than the squeeze tubes. I just wish they had more colors.

I really love my AOS Powders. These are nicely pigmented and infused with tons of shimmer. I have #6 and #9 and I love them both. They are perfect layered as a blush or as a sheer wash of shimmer all over. They are a little pricey, but I think this product will last a while so its worth it. This is definitely not a product for those that don't like shimmer, though, cause these are chock-full-of-it! Tip: Save your money on the AOS brush, I find a large blush or poweder brush works just as well.
