I got this in frosting for less than a dollar at Big Lots. I wouldn't buy this at full price for sure. I don't like the packaging as the stupid hole is too small. I either get too much or not enough. It dusts on my cheeks really badly.

I got this in a dark blue color (i can't remember what it was called) and I thought it was even worse. Maybe I just can't apply makeup, but it just seemed kind of blotchy and it didn't go on evenly. It also left blue "dust" all over my cheeks.

I actually love the Iced Shadows and have almost all the colors. They are loose shadows and so they do go on relative sheer, however as with all shadows, the more you add the better the color. I use mine with an eyeshadow primer and the color is pretty vibrant and remains almost the whole day. The best colors (to me) are groove princess and eyeland.

The iced shadows are like cheap versions of MAC pigments. Loose shimmery shadows but the quality isnt as good. colors arent as pigmented and dont last as long. Retails for $3 and comes in a stupid plastic jar with awkward hole in the top that doesnt fit a brush. Most are quite crappy but IMO the best is Eyeland and Sugared. THey have the most pigment. These are nothing special. Wont repurchase this.

I have a few of these, and I didn't think they were that great. Mediocre, at best. Even though I used a base, the pigment still didn't stick very well and faded fast. It also took a lot of layering for any color to show up. And where is this icy feeling? Didn't feel anything at all. I don't mind the packaging, as you can always pull off the top w/ the hole. Disappointed with these!

I got one of these in pinkie swear. It's a pretty pink color, but it turns white when you put it on your lids. It doesn't last very long either.

I just bought Bronze Goddess and i was so exited about it. But when i put it on it disappointed me. I didn't any bronze in it, just very, very fine gold glitter. I like glitter and the gold color, but its not what i wanted. It creased and didn't last much. I'll give it another try though. And i'm ok with the packaging; it's a little mess proof.

I just bought this in camel-lot in walgreens for about a dollar! :) I already own a purple shade, they're great for an extra cheapy simple eyeshadow to have.

I got this in Camel-Lot. It's a very shimmery, light brown. It's weird, the color was very pigmented when I first got it, but now, it seems more sheer. The packaging doesn't bother me too much because I have a brush small enough to fit in the hole. Plus, it'd be a mess otherwise. If I'm in a rush, I'll just place my pinky over the hole, flip the container over, and apply the shadow over my lids that way.

I loved this! I bought it in Candy Glam, a supermegahyper baby pink that I abused to the fullest. It did feel refreshingly cool going on, but ah! It would dust off EVERYWHERE. And getting my applicator through that stupid hole. Still, it looked very frosty and pretty on my lids. I was disappointed when it started to crease and dust off onto my cheeks, though. How crappy.

i like it, at first i dint feel any cool/wet sensation, but after like a week i felt it and it is VERY nice, i dont see how other ppl dont feel it. i got this in frosting, and it looks very nice with my blue eyes and light skin. its not that pigmented and pretty sheer, but i like my shadow that way. i like the little hole too, cuz its a loose powder shadow, so the shadow doesnt get out, and i also use my finger for it and the hole works well. if you put a lot, it can be very pigmented. all i can say is that its a very nice product with lost of shimmer, which i like, and im gonna get some more!

It's kinda funny the way the pot is designed. Actually it's kinda work. I like to dip my brush to get the iced shadow out. At first I thought it was ridiculous, now I think it's good. The iced shadow gives me the cooling effect when I put it on. It doesn't last very long (3-5 hours max) but it doesn't crease. I have them in five colors and they all are pretty.

The thing people don't get is that loose eyeshadows are not very pigmented and goes on very sheer. It works more as a highlighter than an actual shadow color. I use this in combination with other shadow colors on my eyes to make it more shimmery or whatnot. I bought one in Bronze Goddess, and it's not bad at all. I wished it has more staying power. I use it with the Jane shadow brush, and it fits in the hole it has in the center. It also has a cooling effect when you first put it on, but goes away seconds later. I'm going to invest in some other shades as well.

EDIT: It turns out I can't use this anymore. The color doesn't show up much and fades pretty quickly. I didn't get any other shades.

I have this is camel-ot, it a gorgeous colour and I get compliments on it. The hole isn't too annoying for me, but when i start to run low it could be problematic. It says that it will feel cold and wet when it goes on, which it did.. for about 2 weeks, then somehow it never felt that way again. Overall the colour was awesome!!

I have this in Pinkie Swear, which is a light shimmery pastel pink. I like it pretty much, except for the little hole. I use my finger to apply loose shadow, so that's kind of annoying. I don't really notice a cooling effect, but it's a nice shadow overall.

I LOOOVVVEEE the iced shadow and use them on most days. They provide a light shimmery color. My favorite color (I have owned almost all of them) is Frosting. It's a pale white frost color and lightens up the eye area! Very pretty! The price is decent, although could be cheaper at $3.50 at my local drugstore. I would recommend Frosting as a must-have item!!

Just started on my first pot of Iced Shadows, and I'm really liking it! I purchased Misti-fied, which is a pale, subdued cornflower blue with loads of shimmer. I agree that it doesn't go on with lots of pigment, but I happen to like my shadows that way. I have no problems with the small hole in the middle because I used a small brush. Didn't feel the "cool" sensation when I put it on, but I do love the way it goes on smoothly. I'm now a convert to these and will definitely purchase more of these!

I've really turned Jane into my cheap little m/u thrills lol. These iced shadows are really cute. I only have 3 so far but I'll probably have them all one day but I really like Bronze Goddess it's subtle but pretty. But my favorite thing is the packaging, other loose powder shadows like these of mines cause ALOT of shimmery mess and these don't at all since there's a "mega sifter" is what I like to call it. Basically one pencil sized hole to dip your brush. Thaat's it .. for now. : )

I have become a major fan of JANE's products, but this one dissapointed me a little. I bought it in camel-lot and sugared. Sugared is an okay highlighter/shimmery shadow, and camel-lot is a very sheer shimmery brown. They looked very pretty at first, but they didn't have great staying power. Also, in dim light, the shimmer is beautiful, but outside in the natural light you can't eve see it. Looks very dull. And what's with all this hype about "feeling cool on your lids"??? It felt like normal eye-shadow, maybe even a little gritty, but no coolness whatsoever. I will not be purchasing these again.

I have bronze goddess and the color is very nice.
The packageing doesnt bother me since, girls, you CAN TAKE THE PLASTIC OFF WITH THE LITTLE HOLE AND HAVE JUST A LARGE POT. *phew*

I think its sort of a sucky lose powder, since the staying power is not that great, but the color is beautiful so i gave it 3 lippies.

The colors are really pretty, but for all the trouble I have with the silly sifter thing I think I will stick with eye zings.
