Og my God, I love these. I have three of them myself. The colours are really different and beautiful, and they stay on for quite a while.

GREAT pigmentation, and one little pot will last you ages.
Need I say more!?

Well in case I do, let me just say it have a colour of different colours now, and they are all just as great as each other.

If you're worried about it staying put, don't. They do stay put, and as an insurance policy I used primer (mine is from BeneFit).

The only slightly down-side is that it can get a little messy to apply, as it is packaged in a pot!

I think these can be a hit or miss.
Some of the colours are absolutely lovely, but some are absolute crap. Make sure you swatch before purchasing. I like the little pot and I think it does have quite a bit of product in it, but unless you're skilled with pigments it can get rather messy. I would buy again because they have so many lovely colours!

Really loved this product. The pigmentation is absolutely brilliant, and a little bit goes a very long way. I have been collecting these for about a year or so, and already have 17 in my collection. They are great for a night out, or just a casual day- as they come in so many different shades. The pot in which it comes in is quite small, but there is an extremely large amount of the product in there; a lot more than it seems to appear. Dazzle Dusts retail at around £5 each, but are best to buy when they have the 3 for 2 offer on. There are over 60 shades, which are all fantastic quality- a lot better than the other loose eye shadow powders by MAC and Collection 2000. As for applying, they can sometimes get messy if applied in the wrong way- i can't stress how much you need to be prepared! I always apply mine with a high quality blending brush (a must have for every collection.) Dazzle Dusts are also great as they can be applied as they are, or in a liquid substance- for a more dramatic effect. To do this, just tap a very small amount into the lid, run you brush under the tap and mix until appropriate. If applying dry ALWAYS use primer before, unless you want a face of full on shimmer! The only down side about Dazzle Dust is that it can make your face slightly messy- i recommend applying your foundation, mascara (etc) after the dazzle dusts. The product also blends well if you want to apply more than one at a time.

Over all, this is the best eye shadow i have ever bought and wouldn't hesitate to buy it again. If you have any questions, please feel free to message me:)xxx.

I've had one of these for a couple of years, a gold one, its a very small pot therefore quite fiddly but the colour payoff is great, a big pop of sparkle!

Bought this after reading the reviews, and luckily it was 3 for 2! Pigmented, and so bright. Glittery but really eye-catching. Loved them so much I bought another 2! Really blendable also. It is quite messy if not done properly, but once I got the hang of it I'm hooked. Reasonably priced so I'm definitely going to buy one in every colour now!

I have so many of these, they are my favourite shadows. Highly pigmented, very finely milled and the sparkle is really beautiful. They blend so easily and are pretty long lasting but do stay put better with a primer. The pots are tiny but last a really long time, Ive had a couple that I wear regularly for a few years. There is a large selection of shades and they are inexpensive and very good quality, better than some high end pigments that Ive tried. The only thing I think could be improved on is the packaging, I usually lose some from the sides when I unscrew the lid.

I go for natural make up on a daily basis but these are perfect for parties, dates and other occasions. My favourite it 69 - a bright purple. Just be careful not to accidently spill it lol.

I love these little pots from Barry M. They are quite cheap and high-quality, comes in lots of fun shimmery shades (I have Pink Gold and Cherry and I use them both for my eyes and lips) and considering you only need to use a tiny bit each time you apply, the product lasts you ages.

I really like this product but didn't like how small the pot was for the price it is absolutely tiny! Although the product itself is fab and comes in loads of colours

I want them ALL!!! I am in love with these little pots.

The shadows are highly pigmented, very smooth and beautiful. It is important that I mention that you really need to learn how to use these properly so that you are not disappointed with a shimmery shiny face. It is an absolute MUST, and I cannot stress this enough, you MUST apply primer to your eyelids prior to using any of your Dazzle Dust's.

I recently purchased them to do a makeup trial on a friend. I did her makeup at 10am and by 9:30 she came by my place to show me that her makeup was intact!

If you feel this will ruin your makeup, try and do your eyes first so that you can clean up nicely prior to applying your foundation

The only downside I see in the product is that it can be a little messy. The packaging can use a little swifter (open close shaker type of deal to dispense the right amount).

Best time to buy is when they have the 3 for 2 sales!!!

Gorgeous glittery eyeshadow dust! very pigmented and you only need a tiny bit! I've had my dazzledust eyeshadows since I was 16 and now I am 21 and I have used them quite abit and they are still almost full! Very much worth the price they last forever!

I was impressed with the I ordered. I got about 10 colors and I liked every last one of them and will purchase them again. The only draw back is that there customer service sucks. Once you buy the product and pay for it if you have any question don't even think about sending an email because they will not respond...at least they did not with me. I emailed them for weeks and still nothing.

Update: 05/25/2011 Their customer service finally sent me an email apologizing and explaining why they did not get back to me sooner. Other than that I have no complaints about the product. It is so expensive when you order in the USA. My order was 60 pounds and I thought that was in us dollars. When I got a charge of 97 dollars on my account I was really not happy. But they explained everything as far as how it translates over to US dollars.

I was SOOO excited to purchase a couple of these on my recent trip to the UK because I'd seen a lot of love here on MUA for them. Well.... I hate to say that I'm not terribly impressed. I always foil my loose shadows and the end result when I tried to foil these was clumps and blobs. The shades I bought are really pretty and perhaps I need to change my technique, but my immediate impression is that NYX is far superior. I uploaded a pic above and you can notice how some of the fallout ended up in my lashes (not evident in the mirror but very obvious when I took the pic). I will update this review if I find them to be more workable in the future.

Absolutely amazing. The pigmentation is awesome, it stays on all day (especially withthe shimmering eye and lip crayon in gold under it!) plus the colours are amazing - I have aqua gold, which is a beautiful aqua green with gold shimmer, and I have lavender, which is a pretty pale purple with a silvery shimmer. The greatest thing about barry m products in general is that the glitter/shimmer in them is so fine that the products dont feel gritty or look trashy - just beautiful, sophisticated colours, of which there are a huge number, and they are all shimmery and unique (i think the only matt one is block blue, a pretty baby blue). I cant speak highly enough of these products - theyre only a fiver and compared to mac pigments at about 15 quid, thats awesome - and although theyre in a tiny little pot, you only need a teeny bit of product to cover the entire eyelid. Itll last you ages, trust me! BUY THEM BUY THEM BUY THEM. THEY ARE AWESOME. :Dxxxxxx

I have this in the lilac shade, a very cute pale lavender with lovely sparkley shimmer. Pay off can be a little medium to sheer.

This is a great product from this line. The Dazzle Dusts are very fine in texture and extremely pigmented. They show up exactly as you see in the pot. You get tons of product for what you pay. I prefer these a lot more than MAC's pigments and I have tons of those too! The only drawback is that there is not sifter in the jar so the amount of product that comes out is not controlled and it can be fairly messy if you're not careful. I use the Dazzle Dusts with UDPP and the color lasts all day on me. I have these in Bronze, Brass, Tan, Khaki, Oyster Grey, Mushroom, Chocolate, Bright Indigo, Cherry, Winter Berry, Old Gold, Beige and Yellow Gold. And I have another 12 coming in the mail! I can't wait! They need to bring this brand to Canada!
