This is pretty good for the price. It is pretty sheer. This color would be pretty if it didn't have those annoying chunky sparkles. I don't like chunky sparkles on my eyes and don't get me wrong, I do love SHIMMER. Anyways, has pretty good lasting power.

I purchased this as I began building up my eyeshadow supply after a no buy for over 5 yrs (except fndt and mascara). Its true to its name and light/sheer pinky beige color with lots of shimmer. I have a medium warm complextion and this does not show up on my lid at all but as SHIMMER and it gets everywhere as you try to spread it evenly with your finger.

I was looking to use a cream e/s as a base (because I didnt want to splurge on UDPP or other e/s primer) But the effect before even applying a secondary color was so bad I never bothered.

I have now purchased a MAC paint pot and use it religiously as a base. When looking for more color payoff (while using pigments I am using NYX jumbo pencils instead).

Will not repurchase again.

well, I bought this and cafe au lait at least two years ago because I thought they were pretty. Then, I had no clue what a primer was or anything... and I never would have tried putting on more than one eye shadow color at a time! Now that I'm actually into decent makeup, and I starting hearing all the raves about using these cremes as bases, I pulled them out again. For me, it works decently as a simple, very sheer, almost wash. It leaves a little shimmer on my lid but not much color. A lot of people say using this keeps their eye shadow from creasing, but this is not the case for me. It creases just as easily as any regular eye shadow without a primer does. Good for a dollar, I guess. And IIRC, the cremes are being discontinued, but I won't be running out to stock up.

It seems to make a nice primer for other shadow. I often apply this from lash line to brows and then apply my other shadow on it, leaving this peeking out under the brow bone as highlight. Has tiny sparkles. Definitely going to continue using.

Not sure what all the fuss is, very thin, just leaves a sparkly wash that fades pretty quickly, leaving a slightly sparkly residue. I don't have oily lids, so who knows....maybe this works better on certain skin types, but not mine.

LOVE this as my eyeshadow primer! Someone the MUA board suggested this as an inexpensive eyeshadow primer. Inexpensive is definitely the key....I paid 95 cents for mine. I LOVE it. My shadows are lasting 10+ hours every day, even today when I wore ELF AND it was pouring rain. I also like it as a sheer color on my "no makeup" days. For those who say it is too shimmery, you are probably using too much. I use a small dot and have not found it too shimmery at all. My local store has them clearanced for the 95 cents....I am going back tomorrow to buy the last 3 if they are still there!

I have all the cream e/s from WnW and I like them alot!! As they are so cheap, they have real good staying powder, they go on easy and dry fast.

Exellent to use as base e/s, perfect dupe for Mac paints. The reason why I took 4 lippies instead of 5 is because I think the white one and the champagne one are a bit to shimmery/glittery for daytime.

They are my HG!!!!

It works ok as a highlighter but its very sheer so I feel like I need to put it on twice. I much prefer Estee Lauder's creme eyeshadows. Its only a buck though so it was worth a try!

I think this is good for what it is, a cheap shimmery wash. I use it as a primer and eyeshadow base for when I apply my usual powder shadows but I do find that because it is so shimmery, even if I use matter shadows on top (which is what I typically wear from day to day) it is a tad too shimmery for me. I can also see this being used as a highlighter on the cheeks if you were in a crunch as it blends in pretty well into your skin. but it is very shimmery! so only use as highlighter for evenings out.

This is a great everyday natural/nude color eyeshadow. I have a lightly tanned Asian skin and the lightness of this shadow enhances my eyes. Although it is a little shimmery, it's not too drastic on me. I wish their tube features a pointy more precise opening as it leaves a crust around the opening when it dries out. But that is just a small gripe compared to the value and the great color of this nude eye shadow.

I wanted to like this, because I have the Creme Eyeshadow in Cafe Au Lait and absolutely love it, but this color just didn't measure up. It's too sparkly and not as consistent as a shadow base. If you didn't like this- at least try the color Cafe Au Lait... it's 100 times prettier.

I picked this up at the local Wallmart because I had some time to kill. It's less than $3 cad so I figured since I've heard rave reviews aobut the cream shadows I'd give it a go. I want to be as objective as possible with my review. I think this product is useable if you are 1) on a budget 2) under 23. You get what you pay for with this cream eyeshadow. There's no visible colour payoff and all you see is white uneven glitter (not shimmer). If you happen to like glitter it's okay, even then it doesn't compare to other "glitter" products out there. I have not tried to use it as a base for dry e/s, and to be frank I don't know if I will bother. I already have UDPP and MAC bare canvas paint as bases. Do I really want to spend extra time to try to mask and clean up the glitter? I think I'll just chalk it up to $3 dollars wasted. No biggie. Maybe I'll keep it in the back of the drawer for a Halloween party and I want to dress up and wear costume makeup. Or maybe give it away if I ever engage in swaps. PS - the glitter is hard to remove.

I use this daily as an eyeshadow base. I love the shimmer. There is not much color, it's really just a sheer shimmery eyeshadow. If you use it as a base, apply your shadow while it is still wet for the best staying power.

I use this as my eye shadow base and use it every day. I'm putting two kids through daycare so this product is my staple and saves me some $. At some point I will probably go back to my dept store brand but this works for me. I don't find it overly shimmery as some have said. But I do use it as a base and put my regular shadow over it. I love it - you can't beat the price and one tube lasts months!

This is my go to eyeshadow for when I'm in a rush, so I wear this to work a lot! If I need to maximize impact in minimal time, this is what I grab. I can squeeze just a tiny bit on my finger and swipe it over my eye area. It gives a soft ivory shimmer that brightens, enhances, and lasts all day long. It even makes a great base for other eyeshadow. I originally bought Cafe Au Lait based on the reviews, but it is way too dark on my NC20 skin. (More like a crease color than an all-over wash for me.) I'm so glad I tried Champagne Toast!

This is a great shimmery sparkly light beige eyeshadow that when applied correctly will last all day. Blending is the key as when you first apply it looks wet and blotchy, once blended (with finger) it leaves a beautiful glow. You can't beat the price. I just bought my 2nd tube on clearance at Walgreens for $1.00...they may be discontinuing these. I had a Bobbie Brown shimmer eyeshadow that wears and looks identical to this.If available I will repurchase, but a tube lasts a long time.(FYI...I found no glitter in my tube, only shimmer)

I've been eyeing these for a while. I have really been getting into cream shadows lately, and after reading such great reviews, decided to give these a try. It is very sheer, and very shimmery. I use it mostly as a base, however, if you are looking for something light it is good for an eyeshadow alone. Nice for a more natural look. This stuff really does last all day and keeps my eyeshadow looking great. The shimmer will give matte eyeshadows a nice glow. It is a little weird to apply, but jsut something you have to practice at. I find using a flat liner brush is the most effective way. I also got this in Envy, and am looking to aquire more.

This was impressive for WnW prices. On me (cool PPP) it shows up as a very sheer sparkle, no actual color. Under other e/s, he sparkle subtly shows up through my e/s color, which doesn't bother me because I don't like matte e/s. It stays put all day and does not crease even the tiniest bit. My lids are not oily, though. I like that it's in a tube, but it's one of those tubes that you have to be SUPER careful when you squeeze because a ton of product will come out. Would probably buy again over more expensive options, but one tube will last forever.
