I love this color, it's so fresh and pretty! Great for spring..I use it as an all over lid color during the day. Pretty pigmented and really smooth.

This is the first NYX eyeshadow I ever bought. It is also one of the very few purple eyeshadows that looks nice on me :) It is just as it's name would imply, a subtly frosted lilac which really pops out the green in my hazel eyes. I do only wear this in the spring and summer though, but I'm particular with colors this way. Anyway, this was, apparently, the gateway drug to NYX eyeshadow obsession for me.

I adore the frosty lavender color. Lavender is my favorite color :)
I like this especially because I have a hard time finding ANY purple color that actually shows up on my skin. Not sure why, but it happens...

I was hoping it to be a little bit darker but I like it regardless.
It did fade a bit after a few hours around my crease, but not a huge deal.
Overall I think it's a great product!

Another NYX shadow I love! A simple light lavender purple. I find the color to be very true to pan, and it's still pretty pigmented despite the company's website saying that it's a sheer shadow. I would not hesitate to buy this again! Also, I love how smooth is when I run my finger over it...it's comparable to my MAC shadows, and I'm picky about my drugstore eye shadows!

I really like this shadow, it is frosty and easy to work with. As I would prefer a matte eyeshadow as opposed to frost, this does make my lids pop, especially with a deeper purple in the crease or a teal/ aqua /navy blue. This eyeshadow itself is not super chunky or chalky. I do notice like others have said at first swipe you don't much color at first, but I like to use UDPP (every time with any eyeshadow) and Milk Jumbo Eye Pencil from NYX or a the concealer in a Jar from them and the shadow "sticks" nicely and true to the pan on my lids. It's not a unique color in my opinion but it is a must have if you like all sorts of purples. It's also a nice inner corner color if applied lightly. I gave it a 4 since it didn't wow me, but I do use it when I can (mind you I have tons of eyeshadows and most used or highlight colors or soft browns so those are the one the hit the pans first). I feel it's nice shadow to add to the collection and very useful for many "effects" if you like to play up your make up.

Very unpigmented. It takes at least 4-5 swipes to see it at all, and even then it's barely visible (and I use it over UDPP). It also fades very quickly, and slightly crumbles whenever I run an eyeshadow brush over the surface. The packaging also could much better (the side of the top lid broke so the clear top popped out, but it only happened to this shade of mine...).

Although not as pigmented, this is similar to MAC forsted lilac. You need a good base for it to come up as the opalescent purple but soo pretty

Yes, this eye shadow is sheer. However, if you apply it over NYX Jumbo Pencil in milk it is true to pan. You will get the same vibrancy that you see in the pan. I really like it on my lid, slightly brought above the crease with charcoal in the crease, black in the outer corner and any white or off white under the eyebrow, but make sure it is a matte.

I don't really like sheer shadows but this shadow is very beautiful. I love purple shadows so when I saw this shadow I had to have it. It's a shimmery light purple and it stick pretty well to my lids (i use too faced primer). Like I said it is a somewhat sheer color but it comes off very nice, so I'd say give it a try because it such a pretty color.

I like this eye product. Yes, like others have stated, it is on the sheer side. But I found this to be a good thing - I didn't have any trouble blending this into various colors. It's very inexpensive and it has a nice consistency. If you are looking for a bright, solid color that will really pop, don't grab for this one. If you're looking for a color that will help to add dimension and texture, this is your shadow!

I like this lilac. But even if the NYX website states that it is a "sheer" color, it was a little bit too sheer for me. I am still going to use it, and it is going to last me a long time b/c i have other lilacs i prefer over this one. Pretty color though.

the reason why i probably wouldn't buy this again is probably because it's going to take me forever to use this. i love the smooth texture to it and how pigmented it is. it will probably work better if i wet it or use primer since i don't. but otherwise, good job NYX! big fan.

How I wish I'd discovered NYX before spending hundreds upon hundreds of dollars on high end shadows! Frosted Lilac is a gorgeous pale lavender - the color of a perfect flower - and even though I'm not one to wear purples, I had to get this. For about $4, with incredible wear and silkiness, how can you go wrong?

I have such a weakness for light purple eyeshadows. This one is lovely. I like the staying power. It looks very pretty on my light blue eyes. The packaging is fine, too. It's much easier to open than the Milani eyeshadow singles.

Very pretty light shimmery lilac shade, more on the pastelish side. I like to use this on the lid with a darker purple or plum in the crease, gorgeous! As always, the pigmentation is great, long-lasting, no creasing, and CHEAP! I'm LLL-MMM, hazel eyes, and I would imagine this would make brown, green, and hazel eyes pop!

If you like e/s with no staying power that is apt to end up on places other than where you apply it, this is for you. I hated this. Cheap in so many ways.
