No need to buy again. It lasts forever. Little goes along way with this product. Works good over about any purple/pink eyeshadow to give depth. Also works good as a brow definer for light-mid skin tones. Very cherub like. Bout the only word I can describe it.

This is one of my favorite shadows! It is a very nice sparkly pale lavendar. I pair it with BE Queen Marie or with MAC Parfait Amour. It also is nice foiled on the lid with just some black eyeliner smudged into the lashline for a nice daytime look. I think BE shadows are a pretty good deal, they last a long time. Will definitly repurchase!

It is a very cool light lilac shade, yes kind of like a pink hyacinth. I tried to compare and wore it together with a shade called Girlfriend Michelle and found out that girlfriend michelle is slightly warmer light pink with golden shimmer. Very nice color.

This is a gorgeous very light purple colour. It's very shimmery. I like to pair it with BE's Queen Marie.

Update: This colour looks even better when it's foiled.

This is a BEAUTIFUL shade! It's very loose, kind of like pigment. It's a very light frosty lavender color with tons of shimmer.

This is my favorite eye shadow- and I have a ton! Makes my hazel eyes pop. Perfect for inner lids and highlighting and also adds nice shimmer over plum/cool toned shadows. Love it.

I agree with heather below, but with one caveat- it's easy to overdo this and and up too frosty and sparkly if you try to build color, so accept that it's more of a whisper shade and it will be fabulous. I don't know if this would work for true medium skin, as i imagine it would probably be too frosty, but it would probably make a nice highlighter for darker skin.

I _would_ buy this again, but I will NEVER have to because the full size will last FOREVER!!! This is a glimpse, and I love the glimpses b/c they are just shimmery enough without being too overbearingly glittery for women over 35. This chilled barely there lavendery heathery mauve is lovely and offsets hazel eyes to a lovely effect. It is a cool neutral that I think would suit nearly everyone, and for the price, it's worth a try! You should get this, at at least in a sample!

Oh, my -- Hyacinth. It's a very versatile shade -- great as an all-over, as a lid color, as a wash over other shades. It's not a neutral, but it can act as one - depending on which shades you use it with, it can look grey, taupe, or lilac.

This is one of the all-around best eyeshadows I've tried from BE. It's a very pretty silvery-lavender, and very glimmery. I have to apply it lightly, I would look a little too disco-esque. Applied with a light touch, this is a very pretty shade and perfectly suitable for daytime.

This is a gorgeous grayed-down lavendar. It's a glimpse, so it's not over-the-top glittery, but it does have a definite sexy sheen to it.

This is a great shade to use as a wash, or alone w/ some dark eyeliner. It's a beautiful mix of gray / lilac, with very subtle shimmer. This is definetly one of my fave glimmers!

Hyacinth is a cool toned shimmery greyish/lilac/pink. I find it a little difficult to wear because it's a little too cool-toned for my taste, but I've seen it look great on a variety of different complexions. I wear LM Sunny Beige and NC30.

Hyacinth is a goregous multi tonal shade of white/ light lilac with a hint of gray. Super highlighter color that almost flashes irridiscently. Gorgeous color!

This is a really pretty all over lid color or can be used as a highlighter. It is a really hard color to explain, but I'll give it a shot...In the pot it looks like a mixture of champagne,grey & lavendar. On my PPP with cool undertones it looks about the same, a really pretty effect of these three colors mixed together. I love it as an all over lid color paired with Heart or Devotion in the crease. It also looks gorgeous as an brow bone highlighter. I love BE glimmers and this color is no exception. *Just a reminder to all you MUAers, BE eye glimmers must be used with a eyeshadow base, I use BeneFit's F.Y...Eye and it works great.
