i received a sample size of this when i bought my Bare Minerals kit, the girl picked it out for me when I told her I wanted to try a neutral on my entire lid at work (usually wear satin taupe by mac) and i really like the color. it is a little pink but very shimmery and is easy to apply. it is a really simple look and brightens my eyes. it is very sheer and smooth and has a great consistency. i love shimmer! it does seem like it will be a little expensive for how much comes in a container, since i seem to use a lot of the product to pat it on.

Precious is a very nice, neutral, soft, shimmery, nude-brown color that is good for a subtle daytime eye. This works well as a wash, and it's also a good brow highlight. I have not tried foiling this yet; but hopefully, I will be more impressed with the color when I do. Although it's a nice color- used dry- it doesn't make much of an impact on my lids. I find this eyeshadow's performance along the same lines as other BE neutrals such as Celestine, Nude Beach, and Summer. If I were to ever use up the whole pot, I doubt I would repurchase this particular color-- unless it knocks my socks off when foiled. (Will update if it does.)

This is almost exactly the same shade as the famed NARS All About Eve, but more shimmery. As much as I love NARS, I actually prefer this over the AAE because it's less chalky, and I love the multi-dimensional qualities this has. The micro shimmer reflects all colors of the rainbow without being over the top. This shadow looks especially good applied wet. One jar is probably a lifetime supply for anyone, but I will buy again if I ever run out.

I like this product, however; I will never buy it again. I prefer Grace over Precious... This stuff looks too pink on my pink undertoned fair skin.

This is a must for fair, cool-toned BE neutral fans because it does not have too much peach like so many of the other BE neutrals. (I am NW 20 with hazel eyes.) It is not too shimmery and looks beautiful as everyday wash. I have about 20 BE shadows, and this is by far my favorite, rendering Nude Beach, my former favorite, second.

Nude Beach is my fave and someone reviewed and said this was mean't to be a darker version of Nude Beach which I think it is, I personally prefer Nude Beach as it works for me as I am quite pale but, this is a beautiful shade but, I possibly could have created this shade if I mixed one of my other colours with nude beach, a beautiful staple colour to have though. *** Edited to add this colour for me foils much better than Nude Beach, its much more wearable foiled for my fair skin***

Stunning all-over color. Works great with browns, greens and purples. It makes a great combo with Elegance, a new shade from the Holiday Baby Grand kit.

I agree this is a great highlighter shade. I use it most often for under the brow or as a quick all-over wash. It's not terribly unique, but a good staple to have on hand.

Precious Glimmer is a very shimmery nude color. This is basically the color of my skin plus shimmer. Its a little too nude for me, but i bet would look lovely on someone lighter. I am a light olive NC30 brunette. Overall though it is a great base shade. Retails for $12 for the older pots and the newer pots are $13 and come with sifters.

This has become my HG lid color. It is a medium toned nuetral fleshy peach/beige with iridescent shimmer. It brings out the green in my eyes without being too warm or cool. I love the multi-dimensional qualities of BE glimmers. They have an almost liquid looking rainbow shimmer without obvious sparkles. A layer of Urban Decay Primer Potion makes this shadow practically indelible. It will last all day, even in the humidity without creasing or migrating. (I'm a super pale redhead w/ nuetral skin)

In the pot this looks like a dark campagne color with heavy shimmer. It is supposed to be a darker version of Nude Beach.

It is a great shadow though, because it is long last, doesnt crease and one little pot will last you forever.
