TO SOLVE PACKAGING ISSUE: pour these out into the used up little round lush sample jars. They are perfect! If you don't have any, just walk in and express interest in a lotion or sea salt or facial! They will most likely give you several.

These little pigments rival MAC they are so pretty and pigmented. But, I had such an issue with the packaging, I rarely used them! Now I use them all the time. I just label the little jars with a similar nail polish.

Hope that helps!

I LOVE this. It's such a pretty color, it doubles as a highlighter, and you can use it for so many different things. Sometimes I pop this on the center of my lips for dimension and to make them look more full and it gives a gorgeous sheen, I use this alone or over eyeshadows to create a gorgeous illuminating effect, or my FAVORITE way to use it - as a highlighter. It gives the perfect glow without being too glittery. Love love love. SO inexpensive, too.

This is a true opalescent pearl and makes a great highlighter.
Great value for the price and a little goes a long way.
I use eyeprimer and a NYX pencil and haven't had any problems with creasing and the staying power lasts all day.
The bottle is crap but I just depott mine into 10g sifter jars and they work great.

Aside from the terrible packaging, these NYX pigments are amazing. They are highly pigmented and apply smoothly onto the eye. I use these pigments to highlight my inner corners and brow bone.

I bought mine at CherryCulture.com for $1.50 each. The pictures on the website made the containers look large, but I was disappointed in their size when I received them in the mail. I've only used the product about twice and I feel like there's just 75% of it left. =[ I would give this product 5 stars if only the packaging was more practical. The opening is teeny and requires a small eyeshadow brush to access the pigment.

Other than that, great product! Worth the buy. Try all the different colors!

Pearl is a light lilac/pink shimmer pigment that looks gorgeous when applied generously. I just hate that the Pearl Manias don't stay on- they must be applied over a primer or stickier shadow if you want them to last longer than 5 minutes. This shade would probably look great mixed into a powder blush or face powder, though I haven't tried this yet. Very pretty and girly, just not a swipe and go product...it takes work to get it out of the jar without making a mess, then I have to use more products to get this to stick. I don't reach for this or any of my Pearl Manias very often, and probably will not purchase any more unless I find some other use for them.

These offer a large array of colors to choose from and the pigment is nice. I don't like the container they come in because it can cause a lot of spillage. I put mine in 3 or 5 gram jars with screw on lids.

I have five of these UPM, I just bought pearl on monday and it´s SO nice! is the best of the ones I have, in general I think they´re too shimmery for my liking, but this one works great for a highlight on a nighttime look (you have to blend very well so it looks good) and is awesome to dab a little bit in the center of the lips, just clear gloss and this and is so pretty and sexy! this is the one I would definitely re-buy if I ever run out.

I love these pigments! They are amazing. It is a good dupe to Mac pigments. You just have to be very careful when you use the product since the packaging isn't that great. Besides that I would love to own all of the pigments. I currently have 16. I purchased them really cheap on ebay.

I was at my local beauty store and saw these bad boys and decided to buy a few, just in my favorite colors, like the purple, and brown shades. At the time they were 99cent each so I got a few, took them home wore some of the pigment and was so amazed at the color payoff. Love these went back a few weeks ago and the price was raised to amybe $1.50 and some change with tax..I have about 15 shades or so in all..and I love them. I transferred them to little plastic jars I bought from MIchaels. These are a must have for woman just getting into makeup or anyone wanting great piments for way cheaper than MAC. Love them...I will have all the colotrs..esecially the bright ones..great, great great!!

Awesome Product!!!

This is a very light pink almost sheer in coverage. The NYX Ultra Pearl Mania is just a great set of eye shadows.

a lot comes in these little bottles. i was already expecting a pinkish color so no surprises when i got it in. this is a very light baby pink color, pretty as a highlighter or all over lid color.
going to stock up on these for this cheap pricing! doesnt crease and lasts all day,even in the desert!

I was expecting this shade to be more white as apposed to pink; I'm sure it looks a lot like the Ultra Pearl Mania Baby Pink shade since it's such a light pink color.. so I'd advise to either get one or the other.
Overall, this shade makes a great highlighter.

As other reviewers have described, this is a shimmery opalescent lavender pink. I was actually disappointed with this, because the name "Pearl" and the website picture (I ordered these online for 99 cents ea. at CherryCulture.com) made me think that I was going to get a shimmery ivory color. I suppose opalescent could be interpreted as "Pearl", so I suppose I can't gripe too much about the name. I bought about a dozen of the colors, and three of them ended up being pinky shades (this one, Baby Pink and Sky Pink) so I would have been less disappointed if this one wasn't so similar to the other two. Of the three pink shades, this one is the lightest, but no doubt about it, the impression you get is pink. The texture and consistency is like all the other Pearl Mania shadows - creamy and smooth to apply. In many ways I like them better than MAC pigments. However, the color payoff is not as good as MAC pigments unless you use a base or mixing medium. As for the color of this particular one, it is a very pretty pink-lavender, and I've been using it with Beauty Marked in the crease. I've also dabbed this as an add-on to my lipgloss. I'm sure that mixed with some loose powder, you'd get a pretty highlight as well. So for 99 cents, you can hardly go wrong with the many possible uses for this shade. Even though the vials are small, I'm sure they will last a long time. (And yes, the packaging is terrible - collect some 5g sample jars to transfer the product to)

This is a gorgeous highlight color! It's a pretty white-pink color and it's very sheer. I really only use it for highlighting but that's ok because it looks great as a highligher.

Pearl is a opalescence shimmer(pink & lavendar). Pretty color. But I was hoping for greater color payoff for me(DDD NW45). Something like Trucco Angelface e/s palette, Zhen 'Element Shimmer' Powder, or Jesse's Girl. So I think I'll try keep mixing two other color and keep looking. Maybe try other BenNye, LaFemme, or MAC Fairylite pigments.

Pearl is a gorgeous white shadow with a hint of pink & purple. It has great pigment, and you can layer on even more to make your eyes pop. There is a little bit of shimmer and sparkle, but its not over whelming at all.

This is very smooth and easy to apply. A little bit goes a long way. You can get this for $1 at cherryculture.com I highly recommend investing in a few of these NYX loose pearl shadows.

this is a beautiful opalescent white pearl shimmer. it isn't a stark white, it's got enough other tones in it that it is a wonderful highlight, especially on browbones. the price is amazing, and despite the vial-like container, it's easy to use.

beautiful! a white, shimmering loose powder with a tinge of lavender to it- this product is a winner! i stumbled across it on a trip to my local save-on, and bought several. i haven't been disappointed. the ultra pearl manias are all very finely milled, in gorgeous colors. i don't really enjoy MAC pigments because they're absolutely huge, and they seem rather chalky and gritty. not so with the ultra pearl mania. a great product for a great price. i recommend that everyone (especially the pigment lovers) give these a try.
