i like the shimmery pink effect when you put it to your skin...actually havent try this on my cheeks but i once put some on my eyelids and it was cute...the packaging is also cute and i think this product is good to last for a few years.

The pigments come in huuuuge packages so I got some from a friend and put it in a sampler jar. I am sure it will last me a life time. This is a nice washed out pink color, with shimmer, but not over the board. It is subtle enough even for the day look. This specific color maybe limited edition, I am not sure.

It's a pigment form of naked lunch, which is my all time favorite eyeshadow color. The only difference that i can tell is that shimmertime actually seems a bit less shimmery than naked lunch, not as pigmented. however i love using it for highlighting my face as well as a simple all over the lid wash. very easy to use and versatile.

got this in a set with blacktrack fluidline for $29 at cco so i think the price was actually expensive. blacktrack is normally $16 i think, and pigments usually run for $19.50 and i can get pigments that are 7.5g size for $14 at CCO, so i actually consider the set not really worth the money. but i needed a new gel liner and wanted the pigment so whatevers. the mascara, mini brush and the pouch that came with the set is really useless for me. i don't like mac mascaras and i already have the brush.

This is my first MAC pigment and it's amaaaazing. It looks great all over the lid for a wash of color and/or to brighten the eyes. It's a pinky-peachy shimmery color. Great for using as a highlight on the face as well. The only thing I wish is that it was part of the permanent collection. But it's okay since it lasts a long time. No need to use a lot of product at once.

I bought this Pigment as part of the Holiday 2009 Naughty Noir Eye Set. The price was originally $36 for a Black Track fluidline, Zoom Lash mascara, 209 mini brush, a full size 7.5 g of pigment (you get the bigger jar, the one before MAC made the jars half the size), and a makeup pouch. I got it from CCO for $29.

I really love this shade as an all over wash of color on the lid. It is also great to use on the center of the lid on a smokey eye as a lid highlight. It can also be used as a face highlighter--just use a fluffy brush to avoid picking up too much product.

Hmmm. . . I don't like this one as much as I thought I would. It's a very pale, very pretty shimmery pink in the jar, but dry on my lids it looks kind of chalky. I get a little better effect with it wet buy I have other pale, shimmery shades I like much better. Definitely won't be getting this one again.

My favorite pigment! Such a lovely subtle pink, nothing over the top. I like to use this over pink couture shade stick and my eyes really pop! Long lasting, easy to apply and so pretty! I got the full size pigment in one of the holiday collections otherwise I wouldn't pay $19.50 for a full size since it seems impossible to ever use a whole pigment!

When it is shimmertime & this is one of my go to products depending on the look I'm going for; this for brightening pink, NARS albertross for yellow candlelit, MAC's shimpagne for a warm bronzy highliight..


This pigment has finely milled shimmers & can be used as a highlighter on the high points of your face in addition to your eyes. Similar to your MSF's you may need to buff this product into your face is you want the shimmer to be "barely there".


I do not have Vanilla or Your ladyship to compare this to but I feel that this product does a great job so I don't plan to get the other 2 more famous ones. =)

I like this color on my lid with Apricot Pink. It is a nice spring color especially for brown eye girls.

This is a very light silvery pink shimmer. It goes on very light with a light hand but you can build up the color with a few more layers, though not too much more. This is way too sheer for my taste and doesn't really do anything for my PPP skin. Would recommend. Would not repurchase.

One that I will definitely be using more of. It looks like a sister shade to Jardin Aires, though this is lighter and a little pinkier. I think they'd look great together for a shimmery, sparkly eye. Quite a glittery product so this may not appeal to everyone, but I like it. I only have this as a sample so can't really accurately comment on the price, but I would definitely purchase this again.

Got this sample from a nice MA over Christmas. A bit washed out on lid own its own but looks great over Constructivist paint pot on lid.

Honestly, if you compare this to a pigment IMO it is most comparable to Your Ladyship. Both have the cool pinkish sliver tones I just think YL is slightly more color and less frost but the same tone. That being said, I love this pigment. My favorite use for it is a cheekbone highlighter. You have to use sparingly or else you end up like a disco ball, but you can get a very pretty highlight with this. Looks very similar to Belightful on the cheekbones. This is a great investment pigment because of the versatility of it. This really is multi-purpose. If you can still get your hands on this and don't have Your Ladyship, I suggest you do! You really will get a lot of use out of it since it looks great on the eyes, cheeks and lips equally.

This pigment is a wonderful light ballet slipper pink and has become my most used item! It's light enough with one sweep to be a highlight color, but when I use more of the product it becomes a nice dark color for other uses. It looks gorgeous on my pale skin and I'm so happy I bought it!

If a MAC counter near you still has the Naughty Noir eye set grab it! It's around $36 for this pigment, zoom lash, fluidline, and an eyeliner brush(all full size!!). Not to mention,
the case the pieces come in is adorable!

I love icy pink colours, and this does the job. Gives a pretty and subtle look. But it looks VERY similiar to Naked Lunch eyeshadow on me, sooo it kinda sucks.

Thank you Lord, Thank you!! I was a huge fan of the DeckChair pigment, and this is a really dupe of it. DeckChair is a little more peachy, but once applied they are very similar. I use it as a highlight under my brow and in the inner corner of my eyes. Sometimes I mix a little bit with Vaseline for a little shimmer gloss to go over my lipsticks. My only disappointment was that I HAD to buy the Naughty Noir bag in order to get just the pigment. I already owned the other items, so I really didn't want to buy the whole bag, but oh well! Now I have backups.

I love mac pigments and I got Shimmertime in this year's holiday collection eye bag. It's a pretty shimmery light pinkish champagne color. I like to use it as a highlight on my brow bones and cheek bones or all over my lid to brighten up my eyes.

This came out again with the Holiday Collection and I picked some up.I love the smooth texture this pigment offers.I have olive skin so it goes realy nice with my skintone, though I know it would suit many skintones, its a pinkish color to me,but I believe its clasified as a peachy color.

Shimmertime is comparable to the LE Deckchair pigment. It has a peachy pink color, but it's not as coral as Deckchair and not as intensive either, but it's very nice for highlighting the inner corner of the eye or for an all over eyeshadow! It has a lot of shimmer compared to deckchair, so when applied to the inner corner, it will make you look wide awake and open up your eyes a lot more. Would buy again^^
