Love the colors, saves a lot of time with a quick brush over the eye. Sometimes I use the glitter for days going out, other times I just stick with the color itself. Looking for more colors all of the time!I actually love these things and purchased the entire shade range and would do so again any day. But I must write an honest and helpful review so here it goes.Pros:- Very good value/money ratio. It costs you a nice chunk less than buying a cream shadow and a glitter topper separately, especially if you catch a few shades on sale. Full price is still absolutely worth it, though.- The cream shadow is durable, blendable, and quite pigmented. Very glossy and metallic, gorgeous. With an eyeliner brush it can be used as eyeliner, as it comes with a typical cream shadow wand. I suppose you could use the brush that comes with the glitter side but I preferred to keep them completely separate.- The pigmentation in the glitter topper is good. Mostly sheer with glitter flecks. On the other hand, it is buildable and blendable so you can easily reach full coverage with a little effort. All in all the application and pigmentation is comparable to using a glitter nail polish, and I would say it isn't at all bad off in comparison to quite a few products that cost twice as much or more. But it isn't a dupe, it is just a different product that I personally love.- The glitter side brush is thin so it can be used quite easily as liner or topper or whatever you want.- It doesn't crease or smear, although I do use NYX's waterproof eyeshadow primer.- I've had a flake fall inside my eye and it didn't hurt my eyeball at all. No sensitivity issues at all! Yay!Cons:- The glitter can dry and flake off; you might have to reapply. I used the glitter for a glitter winged liner on top of liquid liner (e.l.f.'s) and it flaked off a bit. But on the other hand, that might have been the liquid liner's fault and not the glitter's, or just the combination of both not being ideal. You can always try it and see.- When I used it on top of eyeshadow, no issues. It kinda "hardens" when it dries off in the same way mascara does, but it didn't feel uncomfortable to me. At least, I liked it because it meant that thing stayed put and didn't spread shiny debris everywhere.Side note:- I personally had no issues. But it IS glitter, after all. People with sensitive skin/eyes might want to sample before committing. People with other skin types or other eye shapes might feel uncomfortable by the texture also.... so it might be a good idea to head to your local drugstore, get one as a sample, wear it, and see how it feels.We have tried several fans for our upstairs lift with minimal relief. But when we bought THIS fan, we were so pleased with its performance! Also so quiet!! ?i really really liked this product. However, i have to deduct one star because of several small factors. First of all, i again saw this at the store, but they did not have the black color in stock, i went back 2-3 times, and it still was not in stock, so i turned to amazon for help, amazon again always pulls through for me!! previously i had not bought any beauty products online, but i decided to give it a try with a few items. This item arrived in a timely manner, but when i received it, the item was a bit smaller or shorter than i had previously seen in the store. Now this could be my own fault, and my misconception. I do not know the true dimensions, but it looked like a miniature of the original product to ME..Anyways, despite my thoughts I tried the product, and i loved it, it works great!. It goes on smooth and the stick on the black end is what they refer to as a "doe-foot" i think(looks like the end of most lip glosses). It applied alot at one time so u DO NOT need to apply more than ONE TIME!! all day!!! It is waterproof too i think, because i fell asleep with it on, and the next day i woke up with perfect eye make up, nothing came off at all!!!Obviously you do not need to re-apply during your day. When you put the black end on, it goes on very wet, you almost need to wait or fan your eyelid before opening it. That end goes on black with a hint of shimmer to it. The other end holds white sparkles. This end looks like what they use in some lip- glosses, it is like a very very very very, very small paint brush. it has a tiny tiny brush on applicator, the sparkles can go onto the black, but only if the black is completely dry first, do not put it on right after, or it will look like a wet mess. you can also apply the whiteish sparkles plain, or by themselves to another eye area such as the lid, like a liner, which is what i did to test it out, it looked great! i really liked it. The sparkles have moistly a clear glossy application, and go on smoothly, if you put them over any color, esp the black it comes with, a little of that color is going to rub off onto the little tiny "paint" brush and it will go back into the tube and get mixed in with your "clear sparkles" so just be aware of that. Try to only use it with one particular color or with colors that are kinda the same, and always wait for the black to dry all the way before you apply the sparkles. Overall, i liked this product. And i would buy it again.This stuff looks really nice on a night out on the town. The green and gold is such a good complimentary color scheme!! I felt glamorous wearing it. Don’t use it often, but it’s nice on special occasions. It doesn’t last as long as I’d like though.I own several shades of the Stila Magnificent Metals Liquid Eyeshadow and to be honest, I like this Revlon product just as much (at less than half the price). The metallic colour is very heavily pigmented - my tip would be to apply it with a light touch and allow plenty of time to dry. The glitter is less heavily pigmented but is buildable. The brush at the glitter end is quite thick - I use it to layer over the metallic colour once it is dry - if you wanted to use it as a liner, I would suggest using a more precise liner brush.The Topaz Twinkle shade in particular is lovely - it really makes my blue eyes pop.I have this product in a different colour, that I bought in USA.I should have bought more colours when I was there as I have never seen it here.Easy to apply, you don't need much. You have to allow time to dry, it does not wear off or smudge. Glitter end is not compulsory!!I generally use a shadow highlight over it as it could be a bit much for day time otherwise.nice colour looks effectivelike thisLovely colour and consistency
