I am not a fond of using loose dust on my eyes since I have very clumsy hands and loose dust has a tendency to fall off more plus it needs more precision than the regular eye shadows. Whenever I apply loose dust, I spill more than I put on my eyes. I was actually looking for silver sparkle when the shop owner showed this blue dust to me. The colour in the small pot looked really bright and charming. I have used this dust quite few times, the colour is mesmerizing. Let me tell you what else is likable in this small post of shimmer dust. About Miss Claire Shimmer Dust Miss Claire claims that the shimmer dust contains high level of colour pigments so that you get an intense look. also the mild shimmer particles will illuminate your eyes naturally. The formula is crease proof & water proof. Price The price of all the Miss Claire products vary a lot depending upon the store. I got this shimmer for Rs. 195 which seems quite affordable to me. But now the rates have been revised and the shimmer dust is selling ta Rs. 250. Ingredients Not mentioned. Packaging The shimmer pot will fit in to the palm of your hand, it’s that small. The shimmer dust comes in a transparent cylindrical pot with alloy screw-open lid with “Miss Claire Shimmer Dust” printed over it. Same is printed at the bottom of the pot. The pot has also got a plastic shield over it while having few narrow holes on it to disperse the product out. The packaging looks quite practical, but I still can’t manage to avoid the product spillage and wastage. Shades Miss Claire Shimmer Dust comes in 16 shades which is an impressive range, but all the shades are numbered as Miss Claire Soft Matte Lip Creams, and do not have any names. Shade – 04 It is a bright blue shade which looks every flattering on all skin tones and eye colours. Blue shades actually are helpful in popping out small or hooded eyes and are recommended by makeup experts. This particular shade, ofcourse, contains shimmer particles hence the name shimmer dust. Do not expect chunky glitter, the shimmer is really fine and the final look will only have a hint of shimmer. Texture & Smell The shimmer dust is very fine and smooth. I do not face any issues while applying it or blending it. Multiple layers can go easily on top of each others without being/looking patchy. There is no noticeable smell out of the shimmer pot. Pigmentation Coming to the pigmentation, it is average. I really have to apply many layers to achieve an intense look. You can figure out the same by the swatches given below. Finish It gives beautiful shimmery finish. The shimmers are fine hence the shade looks really bright. Longevity The longevity of the application depend upon the intensity of a look. If I apply only 1-2 layers, the look stays for 2-3 hours at max. But intense look stays for longer hours. It is also easy to retouch and intensify the look. Likes Fine & smooth texture. Beautiful shade. Final finish is shimmery. Easy to apply and blend. Practical packaging. Affordable. A wide range of shades available to choose from. Dislikes Pigmentation is not impressive hence need to layer up the product to get an intense look. Longevity also depend upon the intensity of the look. Availability is a big issue. Summary The shimmer dust form Miss Claire is an affordable and smooth textured dust with mild shimmer which results into beautiful finish. The pigmentation is not much impressive but is buildable hence fares well on my eyes with a primer beneath. Will also try more shades from the range. Miss Claire Shimmer Dust : ❤❤❤ Shade No 4: ❤❤❤❤ Have you experimented with loose dust? Does this shimmer dust tempt you to try it? Leave our beautiful notes in the comment section, I love finding them. XOXO

Hola, girls. What are your plans for the weekend? My plans involve choosing a wallpaper for my room this weekend & getting some craft supplies since I have been feeling quite crafty these days. Doing little stuff in between routine tasks. I am going to talk about Boots No Seventeen Trio Eyeshadow in Velvet Chic, which is a forgotten piece. I also got Blue Storm from the same range.

You can order Boots products via international shopping websites but that would involve a high shipping cost. Shade Violet Chic.

While the light shades goes perfectly on the inner corners of the eyes. Packaging It comes in a small tub with screw-in transparent lid. The packaging is quite travel friendly.

Texture The eyeshadow colours are very fine and smooth to apply. It is easy to pick the colours with brush or finger tips. The colours go effortlessly on eye lids. Pigmentation Pigmentation of the colours is impressive. One swipe of the eye shadow pigments gives great colour while one more swipe brings out the perfect intensity. Even though the eyeshadow trio contains 2 light shades, but the light shades are as much pigmented as the dark shade. Finish The shades gives pearly to matte finish. The eyeshadow trio colours contain little shimmer which are very fine and do not show on the eyes much. The deep plum shade comes more matte, while the light pink and lilac comes in pearly finish.

I generally wear Makeup Revolution Day & Night Palette, since it has so versatile colours. XOXO
