The consistency of the powder was soft, smooth, and neither too firm or too loose in the pan, so the powder had great color payoff with supreme blendability. As I buffed and blended the powder onto my skin, the shimmer diffused and become more luminous and did not emphasize my skin’s natural texture. It is quite pigmented, so for those who prefer subtler color, I would recommend using a fan or highlighter brush for softer application. On me, the powder wore well for eight hours before fading.

Ok, I’m not sure how I’m ever going to finish a pigmented powder that’s .29 oz, but this has to be mine. It’s too pretty, and I’m a total sucker for gold shimmer

This warm medium pink/gold combo is something that stops me in my tracks everytime I see it, but I still don’t own anything like it — even in eyeshadow. I should get serious about adding this look to my stash (though it’ll probably be an eyeshadow).

BTW, Nancy, I got an email from MAC stating the re-release of Selena products in January. They said it was their biggest seller (for a collaboration) in MAC history. Hopefully I can pick up the brush which I missed out on. 🙂

That’s a great idea Nancy!!! I’m 100% going to use this as an eyeshadow!!! (Since I have to have this anyway! Lol!) it will make a fantastic eyeshadow since it’s so pigmented. Whenever MAC, or anyone else really, puts shades like this out as eyeshadow it’s almost always under performing. So this baby is the answer!

How would you compare this to Tom Ford’s Lovelust? It looks ALOT more pigmented! And I’m a sucker for packaging, though I already made a $200 preorder for the collection…

I was going to buy Becca’s Snapdragon but this one looks prettier. If its not too glittery on my skin I would definitely go for this beauty instead. Unless the whole LE thing gets ridiculous…

Hi Christine! Thanks for the great review, keep up the good job. I want to ask something, even though i seriously loved this i’m not sure about purchasing because i already have the balm’s blush named hot mama and it looks so much like this! Do you have any idea about that?

Got 2 of the compacts – I think people underestimate the beauty of this product. It is super gorgeous. If in doubt – JUST GET IT – you won’t regret it.
