I think this is discontinued, as I can't find it anywhere. I tried this when I was 14 and 15, fine for a young girl, adds the slightest hint of color to the eyes, but definitely not one of CGs better products. If you want a good CG eyeshadow, go for their trio in shimmering sands, and skip this. It's a very pale cool toned taupey beige with lots of glitter, its not very pigmented and relatively chalky. Wet n Wild is cheap AND good quality, get their eyeshadow instead :)

I got this because I had a coupon that was 'buy a cover girl mascara, get a free shadow' and I do like the mascaras, and forget that their shadows are eh. So I went with this. It's an ultra light beige, so on many gals, that equals no color and only shimmer. I think that if you are darker it would come out with some color, but either way it's not super saturated. I like it because I keep in in my purse for emergency I-need-to-look-awake and I wanted to try the Lash Blast Luxe anyway (it's ok). So it works, but not a favorite and probably wouldn't buy out of pocket/again.

I don't understand while people become surprised by the fact it has glitter.
"Bedazzled" mean anything to you?
Plus when you look at the product in the packaging you can see the glitter.
It has the barest pink colour but is mostly sheer with various sized glitter particles in it. There will be fall out but not overly if you take the effort to pat the eye shadow on your eye lid over a primer.
I actually like this product despite not being a fan of glitter or fall out. I like it because it does what it seems to be made for, a bedazzling look. I like to wear it over my lid and above the crease a little and then add whatever other colour across 3/4 of my lid [leaving the inner with just the Bedazzled Bisccottie]. I wear it for the holiday season when I feel more festive. I think it's a great shadow for that.
So my rating is based on:
If you like Glitter that isn't overly fine or overly large.
Want a sheer/transparent shadow with glitter.
A lot of product or a cheap price.
Then the product is for you and that is what it does.
I give it an overall rating of 3/5 due to packaging and fall out. This is regardless on personal preferences because one person could love glitter and another would not. I like to rate products based on what it is and not personal preferences/what I want the product to be.

This is actually one of my go-to eyeshadows because it is so foolproof. It is a light beige that subtly brightens eyes. I used to use this everyday as a base for other shadows before Too Faced Shadow Insurance and I became monogamous. This shadow is not extremely pigmented but none of the Cover Girl shadows especially are. This, occasional glitter fallout, and the fact that once you break off the sticker to open the product you can no longer tell the shadow color anywhere on the packaging, are the reasons for the deducted rating, but the shadow is nice to even out lid color without being too dull, or as a highlight on the brow bone.

I couldn't see this color on my lids ...so I will just apply it under my eyebrows as a highlight and I will try For more color, Maybe dampen the applicator & apply wet on my lids.

I personally love it! I mean, why the criticism that it sparkles when "bedazzled" is part of the name? I wanted the shade that is in the Urban quartet, and this fills the bill. I like the sparkles and it works well, blended over other shades or even fluffed on my skin for evening looks. Instead of throwing it away, save it for another day when you might think differently or have a little girl that will adore it.

Oh, wow. Like everyone has already said, this eyeshadow is all glitter and little color. When will CG realize that glitter is so cheap looking? If they made this in a matte or even a slight shimmer, this would be the perfect everyday color.

I loved the color as soon as i saw it! No hesitation on buying it, boy was i hasty that day. I have fair skin, so I thought this would make a great "day" shadow. WRONG! First there was almost no color to speak of, but girls my lids looked like they were BEDAZZELED! Wahy too much glitter, and the glitter ended up all over my face. Not a good look for anyone.

I can only echo what other reviewers have said about this color - it looks like a beautiful shimmery sand color in the pan but has no pigmentation whatsoever on the lid. All you see is silver glitter. I exchanged it the day after purchasing it.

Got this for free after purchasing a CG H2O Proof Lashblast. Looks pretty in the pan. But it does nothing for me. Texture is too chalky, there's too much glitter, and the pigmentation isn't good. Such a shame because the color's lovely.

This looks so nice in the pan, but it is glitter, glitter, glitter. And not a good glitter. It migrates all over the face. What a disastrous eye shadow. Into the trash it goes.

AWFUL. This is without a doubt the worst eye shadow I have ever bought in my life. Well, it actually was free with a purchase of CG mascara and I picked this color thinking a shimmery taupe would be beautiful for summer. When I attempted to apply this shadow, I ended up with ZERO color on my lid and sparkles all over my face. I practically wore my skin off from rubbing a wet wash cloth over my face so many times to get the shimmer off. Even a couple days later, and a few showers later, I still was finding glittery specks. I have a couple other CG shadows that are absolutely fine, but I'll never buy a shimmery shadow from them again as long as I live. This is the first time I'm ever throwing a product directly into the trash!

I saw all the bad reviews but I still got it anyway. I wish I hadn't, this stuff really sucks. This matches my skintone so pretty much all you see if chunky glitter (and not in a good way). Takes quite a bit to get it off too.
Too bad because I like many other CG e/s

Bought this on the net (2.99 CAN) so didn't think like others said that there would be this much glitter. I was also disappointed with the color not showing as much as I wanted to.
This is another one of my purchases that I just had to give another chance.
Yes, the glitter can move around but mainly if you don't tap the brush lightly before putting it on. It can crease but I tend to have oily lids. With a primer it works better. It can be used for daywear since I'm a huge fan of natural looking makeup and wear it every day. The thing with Bedazzeled Biscotti is that it is ONLY for enhancing eyecolor since it is and flesh colored(for lighter skin tones).
My hazel eyes pop with this and I look instantly as though I had a few more hours of sleep. I even discovered a hint of blue in my eyes while wearing this.

I bought this thinking it was close in color to the middle shade in the Cafe au Late trio which I love and wear everyday but I dont want to keep buying the trio when all I want is one shade..anyway this was such a disappointment,Huge chunks of glitter does not look good on a 30 year old... so my search continues

Bedazzled Biscotti doesn't act like any of the other Eye Enhancer shadows - the texture, ease of application, and staying power don't jive with any of the other shadows in the collection. I don't like this product applies - it was like I had to grind it into my eyelids in order to get it to show up, but once I could see the color, I could also see the large chunks of shimmer. Part of the reason I decided to try the bedazzled biscottis is that I thought it'd be a less clubby (and cheaper) alternative to UD's Midnight Cowboy shadows, but it didn't deliver. I was left with sparkly flakes running down my cheeks after application which were a pain to remove while keeping my other makeup intact and what stayed on my lids was gone an hour later.

As the other reviews state, this eye shadow has a lot of glitter. In the pan, it looks like a shimmery neutral, but on the large glitter flecks are too obvious for my taste.

When I was paring down my make-up stash I threw this out. If there had been no glitter in this I would have used it but unfortunately it did have glitter. Lots of it. And the fall-out is horrible. After an hour, it's all over my cheeks and I look like a wanna be club kid or something. There are soooo many better neutral shadows out there that are within a similar price point. I gave this a 2 not a 1, because it was cheap enough and the color was nice, just too glittery. I prefer a nice sheen or shimmer to my shadows. I have since found some lovely Urban Decay and Stila neutrals.
