I own one of these in suga. It's so shimmery and the color of it really stands out. I'll even forget about the mess it is known to make! I am looking forward to buying more in the future.

i have lola, jacki, and cooki...really high pigmented and gorgeous shimmer. the best way to wear these is to use one BeneFit creaseless eye shadow on the insides of ur eyes and a complementing creaseless eye shadow on the outside and then fill it in w/a complementing show off in the middle- it sounds weird but looks amazing.

AWESOME PRODUCT! I love those things! They look great and have sooo many uses! Looks great smeared on lips followed by a sheer gloss, on eyes, brow bone, cheeks, shoulders, collar bone, top of toes, etc.

These are similar to MAC pigments, but most are lighter colors. I don't care for the container (tube like) -- after you've used a small amount you either have to stick a brush down inside it or pour some out in your hand. I have Jacqui, which is a very pretty rose shimmer with a little gold.

These are great fun to play with! I have Lola (pinky), icing (silver taupe) and Cooki (blue). Over cream shadows they are great, and they also work well to blend lines in your contouring. (one note: I do only have sample pots of these (which last forever!), I don't know if I would actually dish $16 to buy a whole vial)

Though I really adore loose powders, I found these containers near impossible! You simply cannot get any product out of them easily and have to dump into another pot. At that point, I just ended up buying BE Glimmers, as I preferred the more variety of colors. Though I do not hate the Showoffs I don't think they, nor the color choices, to be anything special or something you cannot get elsewhere.

I have this in Icing and Metalica, but have also had(swapped away) the Pistachio and Cooki(couldn't make those colors work). They are super-pigmented(like a finer version of MAC pigment), easy to blend, they stay on for hours on end, and there is a great color selection. The only problem is the darn container- it is hard to get the right amount on your brush- either a little dab or a teasponful- I would suggest shaking some into a lid and taking the product from there.. Also- this makes a FABULOUS wet e/s- mix with a bit of water(less is better) and this intensifies in color and stays on even longer! Would recommend to anyone willing to spend $14 on a multi-use item.

These are great! I got "suga" and "cooki" and they are well worth the splurge. Not very logical pacakging, but fixed easily with a thin brush. I cant wait to try some more!

i love these, they are so shimmery and can be used everywhere althought i manily use mine on my eyelids. however mine from the outside looks like a baby pink and wen i put it on it is very goldy and theres not every really a hint of the pink, however this colour is still beautiful! only problem thought is like as most people said, the packageing, its such a pain to get it out! oh well the product is still amazing =)

for the most part, i have found that benefit's makeup quality is not at the same level of their high prices, and that usually the only good part is the cute packaging. however, i have to say that i really do like show offs. the packaging makes it easy to spill, and although the price is high you do get a lot. i bought this in candi, i believe, which is a shimmery mediumish/lightish blue that can sometimes shine pink or gold. it may sound a bit unattractive, but it is indeed pretty (but then again, they *all* are!). show offs wear well and can be used anywhere on the face, too.

These cuties are a delight! I only use them as eyeshadow, but they can also be used elsewhere on the face. All the colors are fabulous, with lots of shimmer. My only dislike is the packaging. It can be difficult to get the powder, and I've spilled it twice. My favorite color is Jacki, a gorgeous pink.

I actually received a sample of "Icing" with my order of creaseless e/s. Now I can say that I like more than one Benefit product. It's very flattering sparkle without looking dry on my old lady skin. Funny, I am still using the tiny sample, so a little goes a long way. I don't think I'll like the packaging of the full-size. Why not a pot?

I got Show Offs in Jacqui. I was surprised at how the color ended up looking *on* -- not at all as it appears in the packaging (light pink). It actually goes on a golden rose color! Very pretty! I wore it with Fancy Roper eyeshadow -- nice combination. I don't care much for the packaging though -- a little tube-like thing. When new, you can simply tap your finger on the end to get the color, but as you use it, you have to pour it out or stick a small brush in the tube or something. A small pot would have been a better idea.

Yes the packaging on this product is less than desirable, but it's worth it. I have suga. I played around with it and found that it is also fantastic to mix with a little moisturizer. It gives your whole body a tan, shimmery look. AND it does NOT rub off on your clothes. Ultimate bonus.

The packaging is kinda messy but the product is wonderful!!! found if you sprinkle a little in a small pot it works better. The color stays put and works on eyes as well as lips and I assume cheeks as well. I have Jacki and plan on getting others. Jacki is a nice pink that flashes pink and resembles UD X e/s on. Also on lips looks very similar to Chanel's Twinkle glossimer. Nice shimmery shades that flash other colors. Just lovely!

Mt favorite Show Off color is ICING. It's a silvery color and I wear it on my brow bone as a highlighter. I love it! Long staying power and beautiful shimmer!

I hate the packaging of this product! BUT, I do love the texture! I use the "Icing" shade right below my eyebrow for a highlighter. Icing is a silver color and I would have NEVER just bought it. I had a free smaple, tried it, then bought it. I love it and when it is gone, I will definitely buy it again!

The powder itself is alright, long lasting, bright, but the packaging sucks so much it turns me off to the product. Every single time I opened it it spilled, and the powder is so richly pigmented it always made a mess.

This is a fun all purpose highlighter. I have suga and at first was a bit perplexed on how and where I wanted to apply it, but got over that issue quickly. Super points to BeneFit for these actually staying on and not getting all over my clothes and SO. Packaging here is a low point, it's messy, but all in all this is a fun 'try me'
