This is a nice e/s. Cream with shimmer. I like it a lot, and use it fairly regularly... although it's a color that many different brands make I think the UD has some of the best quality. It is very very close to my skin color, so maybe I would be more impressed if I was darker. It's definitely one of the most wearable e/s UD makes, and it blends many of their e/s into my skin so that they look less shocking. It gets a really pretty nymph like look on me too. Unfortunately, it has a bit of a gritty texture to me (maybe I got a bad one?) and the glitter flakes off. So I can't go overboard with my raves on this one.

Great off-white sparkly e/s! Perfect for highlighting the brow bone. I noticed the my best friend's Polyester Bride (Sell Out Face Case) has silver glitter, and mine (Gypsy Den Face Case) has golden glitter. I like it better with golden glitter because it warms it up a little bit. Excellent quality, texture and blendability! Another great one from UD!

This shade is off-white with silver glitter, very pretty to highlight the browbone. I haven't tried it as a wash but my guess is it would look very nice too. I love how blendable it is, I usually use it wet to keep the glitter from falling. I have seen that the Polyester Bride in the Gypsy Den Face Case has golden glitter, though.

Polyester Bride is a shimmery white with silver glitter. This eyeshadow is my favorite brow bone color paired up with Midnight Cowboy. I use it wet for more shimmer and so that the glitter stays. It goes on smooth and lasts all day.

This is a nice white, super sparkly shadow. I use it all over for a glittery look, or to highlight at the brow bone. The sparkles do tend to migrate all over my cheeks, but that happens with most (or all) super glittery shadows. I really enjoy using this shadow.

This eyeshadow is excellent as a wash or highlighter ;) If only the glitter wasn't so big!

The only use I can find for this eyeshadow would be as a highlighter. I don't like the white eyeshadow look, so I haven't used it as a wash.

This has a funky name and is a funky product to match. A yellowy off-white colour though it doesn't look dull. IT has silvery glitter through it. Great as a shadow base for your clubbing eyes. Can also be made into a strong colour too though. A great shadow. D.xx

This was my very first "high-end" eyeshadow (or "high-end" anything, really) purchase, many years ago when I was an innocent who knew nothing of the addictive powers of pretty pretty makeup. I remember ooooh-ing and ahhhh-ing over the shiny funky grab-your-eyes-and-don't-let-you-look-away Urban Decay eyeshadows, and chose this one mainly because I recognized that this shared a name with a Liz Phair song that I liked. I lucked out because it has become my staple over the years. It's a slightly off-white shadow with fine glitter, which makes eyes look magical. I wear it classically as a light wash, with black eyeliner, in a kind of updated Audrey Hepburn way, and it pops open my eyes. I've gotten soooo many compliments. Sometimes I add funky colors in the crease or to line (such as MAC's Electric Eel) when I'm in a more adventurous mood. It's a gorgeous shadow, and kicks the ass of Midnight Cowboy, in my humble opinion. By the way, the song "Polyester Bride" can be found on Liz Phair's album "whitechocolatespaceegg," which is quite the kickass album.

I wear this eyeshadow almost daily as either a highlighter or base. It is white whith glitter, and if you dont like glitter in your shadows... stay away from this one.. because there is a lot of the glitter, Just like most UD Shadows... This fades a little during the day..but the visene trick helps.

This is a whiteish color with a shimmer to it. The glitter isn't too chunky but it does have a lot of it so if you are not a glitter fan you should stay away from this shade. It works well as either a highlighter or as a wash on me if I use it lightly. When I wear it I use it as a wash and use my BB Gel Liner in Granite with it.

Wow.. I've been so against Urban Decay eyeshadows after a horrible incident with Oil Slick but I couldn't resist the recent Macy's sale. I LOVE THIS COLOUR. I use it as a highlighter and applied wet, the glitter doesn't budge a bit! Lasts all day and still looks wonderful.

i didn't like this e/s. it is creamy white with glitter, lots of it. but hello! the glitter went everywhere! I even had to try the visine trick to keep some of the glitter at bay. As a highlighter, it is too sparkly for me. I would have liked this as a plain shimmery white, but without the chunky glitter please!

Polyester Bride looks quite uneventful in the pan, but it applies on a pretty frosty whitish-cream with some subtle shimmer. I love using it on my brow bones to highlight, as well as a dab on the inner corners of my eyes to 'wake' them up. The texture is really smooth and staying power is great!

Wow! This e/s is so pigmented. It almost flakes off onto the brush. I love it too. It reminds me of MAC Frost Pigment. A little definitely goes a long way. It would look nice as a highlighter.

I like Polyester Bride, but have found other cream colored shimmery shadows that i like more as bases. I still use it some, but it just doesn't pop the way I thought it would when I lusted after it in the beginning. Despite owning lots of UD glitters, I definitely like the satiny ones better... AWESOME textures.

Polyester Bride is very chalky and hard to blend / apply. I will not be repurchasing this - It's an average white with a bit of frost and silver glitter. Once I bought MAC's Frost Pigment, this e/s has pretty much met it's demise :(

This is my ultimate fairy princess eyeshadow. I use it only as a highlighter and on the inside corners, otherwise it washes me out. It's beautiful with pink and lilac shades, and gives a luminous quality to cheeks when dusted over blush. It is quite glitter, but it actually doesn't bother me. Definately an evening colour though, in daylight the sparkles are a little inappropriate.

This is a beautiful shimmery frosty cream shade with a small amount of gold glitter which is very small. Looks great on us blondes with pale skin. Looks good as a highlighter too.

SHimmer white cream shade with glitter. Needs visine to keep glitter from falling. The color is pretty but i can't stand the falling glitter in my contact lenses. Way too irritating, so i wouldnt repurchase. This retails for $15 and the new packaging consists of a plastic silver flip top pot.
