My experience with it:

I purchased this a few months back and surprisingly, I have worn it so much that it’s on the verge of finishing.

– I love the packaging. It’s a transparent tube, so you can keep a track on how much quantity is left within. Plus, it is sturdy. I did drop it once from a considerable height and it did not break. The roller ball tip here has its own advantage and disadvantage. While on one hand, it prevents messy application of loose eyeshadow on the other hand, product does not flows smoothly out of it as it should. This means applying extra pressure on eyes which I don’t like to. So, in that case, I first roll it out on my hand and then, go back to applying it on my eyes. This is a little messy but I don’t like the other way out.

– The powder eyeshadow goes on very smooth and is not gritty. For a loose eyeshadow, the application is a breeze here as the particles are quite tightly packed here. There’s a bit of fallout while application but nothing a tissue can take care of. I always apply a good amount of loose powder before eyeshadow application which makes wiping the fallout very easy. I wear it layered with a powder eyeshadow to increase the staying power on my oily eyelids and it does adheres to my skin better that way.

–

– The shade is gorgeous, which is why I’m near to finishing it! It’s a gorgeous coppery brown which looks beautiful just on its own. The pigmentation is awesome. The shimmers are tasteful and not tacky. I love pairing it with peach and fuchsia lipsticks.

For the price it comes at, I’m surprised with its quality. I regret not buying more shades in it but better late than never! Waiting for my next salary! ^_^
