Formula Overview
$6.25/0.06 oz. - $104.17 Per Ounce
The shimmer eyeshadows are more consistent in pigmentation with the majority of shades having opaque color coverage. The more metallic/sparkly the shade is, the creamier and more emollient the eyeshadow felt in the pan, which often yielded really smooth application and good adherence to the lid, though a few worked better with a fingertip or a dampened brush for true-to-pan color or to get a truer finish/sheen.
Most shades, however, worked well with brushes, and I didn't have trouble applying or blending out most of the shimmer shades. The more satin to pearl like finishes tend to feel a little thinner but blend out well. These shades wore between eight and nine hours on me with some of the more foiled-like shades creasing noticeably at the end (and the less foiled-like ones fading).

Brilliant Fervor (or Cinnamon Toast, for that matter) and Emerald Eyes are just such beautiful shades!
These shades are just so gorgeous – everyone of them an autumn shade to me. From the muted forest green shade (perfect) to the dusty mauves and golds. A gorgeous range.
What can I say, I love the look of all of these. Not all of them are foe me, but some entered the WL.
For, not foe, of course, Stupid fingers!
