I'll try and keep my review as unbiased as possible since I personally don't much care for sparkly/shimmery eyeshadows, but I was given this particular item for free, so I figured I'd give it a try. I'm not a big fan of L'Oreal products in general, but hey, free makeup. Please note that I used eyelid primer and setting spray with this particular product.

I got the shade Unlimited Sky, which is sort of a bluish-silver color. Applied dry, it's very unimpressive, so I tried with a damp brush instead. I did see an improvement in the color, but in order to actually get some decent results, I really had to pack the eyeshadow onto my eyelid. You cannot brush this stuff on - you have to get a generous amount on the brush and then pat it on, and do so repeatedly.

After piling the eyeshadow on, I wound up with shimmery blue eyelids. The color is a little subdued (so not insanely sparkly) and it did stay on for quite a while. Plus, I think applying with a damp brush actually helps bring out the shine in this particular eyeshadow. I'm a bit of a cheapskate when it comes to makeup, and I personally would never spend eight dollars on a single color of eyeshadow, so the price itself would be a big turn-off for me. But, overall, it's not too bad of a product. I would not buy it for myself, but if you like shiny eyeshadow that isn't too loud or bold, this would probably be a good choice for you.
