I only wore this once because it was nothing special formula wise and a very intense color.
The packaging is okay. It wasn't really messy, looks decent and it's possible to control the amount that comes out.
The brush it comes with is so tiny and really useless. It does pick up color and it applied it alright, especially for a drugstore brand.

I don't recall fallout, which is nice. It's a very in your face color not really suitable for adults. Even if you take a small amount, it's very BRIGHT pink.
It's really hard to find a place to wear this too, even if it's used with other colors.
I think it'd be great for beginners who want to start to play around with colors. But if you're out of highschool and don't want to look like boy george, pass.

I bought three of these the other day from Walgreens when they had a sale on them. I was so excited because they were so pretty! I tried the green one out today and LOVED it! I didn't have to use much to get a vibrant, beautiful color and it lasted all day without creasing. I did have on a eye shadow primer also. Anyway..I love the little tub it comes in too. I didn't pull the plastic sticky paper off all the way though, and only exposed about half of the holes because I didn't know how it would do if I pulled it all off. So far, so good. I know I've had something similar where I pulled it all off and stuff just poured out and too much was deposited into the top while getting thrown around in my makeup bag so lesson learned! Overall a great eye shadow. It was in my opinion a little pricey at regular price for such a small amount but I really, really like them so I'd probably buy it anyway!

I AM IN LOVE. and i am sad.. because i'm pretty sure this line is going to be discontunied, considering i've bought 2 of these on clearence in two different drug stores.
lets start with the powder its self. it is a frosty pinky/purple that i would imagine would look good on any skintone. very blendable and if you are looking to get the most out of it, i reccommend using nyx's milk underneath or any other white cream shadow. very buildable.
the packaging. it's actually pretty awesome. the little pot and the little sifter work well. the best part is the brush. it's great quality and works well for any eyeshadow to blend and contour. i'm extremely excited to stockpile these.
like i said.. i got it on clearence. would i have bought it for 13 dollars? no. because i am cheap. so i reccommend getting them while they last. if you cant find em, try ebay!

WHAT a gorgeous color! On my nc25 ( light/medium beige yellow undertone) i used this shade all over my lid with black gel liner. and ulta silk to highlite the browbone. fun gorgeous look. it is a mismatched name because its a vivid fuschia color. the itty bitty pot is cute & the brush is actually very decent. best of all i got it @ cvs for $3.19!!

I love this color. Very vibrant. It is a little expensive, but if you can get it on sale, like a BOGO, it's worth it. The fallout can also be a little aggravating, but I think that goes for any pigment, no matter what the brand. Can be applied with a light hand for a less "shocking" effect, but not as fun.

Bleh. I'm less than impressed with the HIP stuff. I've tried their pigments, shadow duos, creme eyeliners, liquid eyeliners, and paints. I think they trying to be the poor man's Mac except they are nearly as expensive themselves but half the quality! I liked most of their stuff alright before I found Mac's eyeshadows and realized how crappy these were. I tried out a couple I had in my drawer again today and realized they are just terrible quality. Very sheer and a lot of fall out. You have to have a base underneath or shimmer will get all over your lashes. This color is a pink with a blue undertone to it- kind've reminds me of Stars and Rockets. The sheer, over-shimmer on these just turns me off.

I bought this a while ago because i had heard it recommended from somewhere, but then i was kind of afraid to use it for awhile because I'm not usually a super bright eye makeup girl. So I was kind of feeling bad about having spent the money on it (because it IS quite pricey for a drugstore item) until today. I was wearing a dress that had some bright pink in it, and so i decided to be brave and try the eyeshadow to match. AND I'M SO GLAD I DID!! The pink shows up right away with only a little product, it's not overly sparkly, and it doesn't make me look like i have some kind of disease that makes my eyes pink. It was just really pretty, and I loved the overall look. I am now very good friends with this eyeshadow :-D And I only have to use a tiny bit so it will last me a long time if not FOREVER...totally worth the money. (Love the little sifter in the jar-- stops me from spilling it all over my room haha :-D) The only reason I gave it 4 lippies instead of 5 is that after a few hours the color seemed to have faded a little, so it isn't super long lasting. But overall I think this product is great and I want to try more HIP :-D

I love HIP eyeshadow, though I wish it weren't so darned expensive. This is a bright cool pink shimmer.

It is expensive, so I recommend looking for it on eBay or a non-retail site. I really like the packaging. It's cute and compact; it is small for the price, but it's still more than I'll ever use. The brush is also very nice.

I really like it and I'm glad I bought it, but I wouldn't re-purchase just because I can probably get a dupe for much cheaper.

Overall, this loose shadow is great! The colour is very nice, though I find I have to apply it wet, or apply more of it dry to get the effect I want. Could be a bit less shimmery, but that's all right.
I like that it comes with a little brush, as that helps to make it a bit more "worth it" for the price (about $10.00). Whenever I run out of this shadow I will likely buy it again.
Weird name, though. Why is it called "Fiery" when it's a pink? :)

This is a really pretty pink pigment in the L'oreal HIP line. Its okay but I find it a bit too shimmery for my taste. Its also hugely expensive for a drug store brand. I am also not sure why it is called fiery when it pink hehe. I do wear this on days when I feel like having a fun, funky look

I love this shadow, it's a bright beautiful pink. It has a nice texture, easily buildable and blenable. I love the packaging the brush is nice and soft and the sifter keeps it from going all over. I just dip the little brush in the cap and I have the perfect amount of shadow. The HIP line has been great for me, I don't always have the spare cash to purchase higher end stuff (who really does nowadays??) and these are a bit pricey for a d/s brand but if you can get them bogo or on ebay (where I got all 7 of mine for about 3 bucks each) then they are totally worth it. You don't need a lot so it will last forever. But if I do run out I will purchase again if I can get a good price.

I LOVE this colour, I can never find nice pigmented pink colours, but this is quite pigmented and makes my blue eyes stand out. If I pair it with Restless on the lid and Fiery on the crease and lower lash line, it looks fantastic and makes the gold and the blue in my eyes pop. I will buy again if I run out and I will try out the other colours soon, hopefully.

At first, I wasn't a fan because it would show up kind of light on my skin. But after i applied a pink base and then the pigment, it was fab! Gorgeous color..i love hip products :)

I would buy this again. It's a pretty color, but for this one you kind of need alot of it for it to really stand out or else it just kind of falls flat. Just like the other ones, this color is awesome and I love how it comes with a little brush. I like pairing this with striving, or purple eyeshadows because it really is pretty and makes my eyes stand out.

I've been looking for the perfect pink shadow to accent my green eyes. Fiery is a fantastic fuchsia pink that doesn't go unnoticed...not exactly what I had in mind. I like it but I don't love it. The hunt continues.

I love this eyeshadow. I was looking for shocking/strinking colors for a long time and couldn't find any brands that sell such eyeshadows... at least not ones that don't cost a fortune. I found this L'Oreal shadow and bought it immediately since I adore the color and its intensity. I was suprised to find that the packaging is also really great. The container has a sifter built in which is always good with loose powder shadows. The brush that comes with it is awesome quality and very soft, which is always a good thing for the delicate eye area.
I tried it and loved the shimmer, the way it blends well with other colors, and there is no creasing. This shadow lasts for ever so there's no need to reapply constantly; one application will last all day/night.
The only thing that I did not like is that it's a bit expensive. $10 for a small container is a bit over my budget as far as one eyeshadow is concerned - but than again it is a great products that comes with an awesome brush so the price is reasonable considering the quality.
Love this product. I highly recommend it.

I wear this on the outer corner on my lids and use Platinum by Covergirl on the inside of my lid, and it makes such an adorable pair! I don't have to pack this one on my brush to get color, because it's so pigmented! Blending is a breeze for me and I get such a bright pop on my brown eyes, it's amazing! Get this on a BOGOF sale, because they are pricey and Fiery can go everywhere if you're not careful! Overall, great product!

I only buy HIP on sale because they're generally overpriced, but this is a really great product for drugstore cosmetics. This color is GREAT mixed with some lipgloss for a cute barbie pink lip color. I haven't tried it on my eyes yet, but the other HIP pigments are pretty nice. I just think they're way overpriced. MAC pigments are only a few dollars more and you get so much more. Definitely pick some up when they're buy one get one free though. :)

Edit: I have subsequently tried it on my eyes and it's much lighter than it appears, however it packed on well and I got a great color. :)
