I love NYX eyeshadows, but this shade is awful. Had I read the info on this product before buying it I would have found that it was a sheer/glitter shadow and exactly what I did NOT want, but I blame myself completely for that. If you're the type that wants a very sheer (and chalky) color with chunky glitter, you'll love this. But it's definitely not the right shadow for me at all.

I purchased this first then came on here and read the reviews and was ready to be disappointed. But I'm actually happy with my purchase. Yes, the glitter is chunky but most of mine already fell off an hour later. I used a big fluffy brush to brush off the excess glitter which didn't remove the shadow. Now, the reason I like it is that it's the only white shadow from the NYX line that I can get to show up on my skin. I'm a NW25 so I'm not that dark or anything but I've tried so many white shadows and this one works for me. It's a little more shimmery than I like but not quite as shimmery as the White Pearl in the Mania line. That one was a little too much for me. Once the glitter is gone, I like this one. I'm kind of hoping that after a dozen uses, maybe there won't be as much glitter left in the pan.

A good white shimmery eyeshadow. The glitters are very subtle, you won't look like you've gone crazy with kiddie grade stuff on your eyes. I apply it on my inner eyelids and it shows up well with my skintone (take note that i always use an e/s base). I reckon it'll be a good highlighter too if used moderately, and you can probably also use it on your cheeks to layer it on top of a matte blusher so you don't have to buy a shimmery blush in the same color =p

I have about 20 NYX eyeshadows and this is definitely my least favorite. Most of their eyeshadows and very smooth and almost creamy, this however is very chalky with large chunks of glitter that don't come across well. I thought it would be a shimmery/frosty white, but was very disappointed. I have since bought "geisha" and am very happy. I don't understand how this product has any good reviews.

I love NYX shadows but I was not thrilled with this one. It hardly shows up and I don't like the glitter. It actually works pretty decent as a highlighter above the cheekbone and on the bridge of the nose. You can brush off the glitter so it won't look so sparkly. I wouldn't buy this one again.

Ugh, this is the worst eyeshadow I've ever purchased ever. It was beyond chalky and crumbly. It refused to stay on any skin surface whatsoever, even with a base.
