Comments: Oh, Idol Eyes, how did I ever live without you!?!
Seriously, this is one of the most gorgeous shadows, it can take on a grey, silver or purple appearance. It has that lovely lustre shimmer to it, yet it doesn't seem as much of a pain to work with as some of the other lustres.

Comments: This color looks so cool with green eyes, particularly when combined with Hush cream colour base and with Phloof! as a highlighter. The only thing I don't like about this particular consistency of eyeshadow is that it tends to scatter more than other shadows and little flakes smudge onto my upper cheeks.

This one is fun since it has purple and silver and gold in it. I like some lustre's and this is one of them. I like it especially with amythest.

I don't know how I ever managed without this. It is fabulous dusted over the top of grey or purple looks. It just kind of finishes the look.
It is a purple/grey shade which seems to go with everything.
Buy it now!!!!

One of my fav e/s. Gives a wonder glitter effect with a bit of purple/greyish tint. A must-buy I would say - for all skin tones~

This has definitely got to be one of my favorite e/s's. I know a lot of people hate it because of the texture but I love it!!! It's a blend of silver, gold, and lavender mica particles. Its so beautiful!!! It looks good with anything: browns, neutrals, blues, purples, metallics, pinks etc. It looks amazing on the eyes over a metallic base. It's so shiny!! I love it.

Lovely purpley gray shade with sparkles, looks great on it's own or on top of purple and gray shades to give some shimmer.

I really like Idol Eyes and it looks better on me than a gray e/s would. I usually pair it with Blitz & Glitz FL and it looks really pretty with Petticoat or Porcelain Pink. Would definitely buy it again. I think it is the only lustre that I really like.

Can be hard to work with but once you get the hang of it it is the best colour. I like to use sponge tip with it. I love using this in the crease of my eye. Love it

Buy again? No way.

I can not get this to work. It just falls off any base I use. I've tried Stillife, Silverbleu, Iris Eyes, and Beig-ing. I've packed it on each too. It just falls off in the end. It's such a pretty color though.

This one took me a while to get since I wasn't sure what to pair it with. I find it really looks good with Crimsonaire Shade Stick. It changes the color of it and it looks awesome. This was the only thing I could really pair this with to get it to go with my complexion. Anything else doesn't look right but then again I haven't played with it that much. I don't have any silvers or anything, but maybe over Blacktrack it would be awesome.

this is a really pretty color and I wanted so much to love it. This is the prettiest purple I have ever seen. The only reason I don't really like it was because it does not show up at all on my skin unless i put like a pound of it on.

At first I *LOVED* this e/s. But after a while I just found it extremely difficult to work with and it had tons of fallout and waaayyy too much glitter. Plus I had to PACK it on to get it to show up. I wouldn't repurchase this one.

Would you buy this product again? Perhaps, if i ever finish the one i have

okie, i must confess that i called it "idiot eyes" for a while as it was so DIFFICULT to work with. apparently, this naughty e/s works best when i applied it using my fingers... otherwise it'll just fall all over my face, despite my best efforts with a brush or sponge applicator, wet or dry, primer or none, etc etc etc...
now that i've found the application method that worked, it's a well-behaved e/s with a wonderful spectrum

I read a lot of people having issues with this eye shadow. Many lustres (great example, PINK VENUS!) are a little difficult to work with but i use this eye shadow in so many different occasions. I'm on my second one right now and i love to use this color with EVERY color, even though this color is described as a silvery purple, because it's not so flamboyant, you can almost play around with it like a neutral. i love using this color when creating smoky eyes. =D

I didn't show up on my skin unless I put a lot of it on. It was very sheer and no matter what kind of base I used underneath, it still didn't show well.

I really like the color, but haven't found anything to go with it. However, it's very pretty on its own. My problem with this is that it melts on my crease and you really have to work with brush or use your fingers to make it show it on your eyelids. I didn't have problem with glitters falling off.
