I do like the eyeshadow, despite being on the powdery side as well. It's pretty much a match for my skintone, so it's nice for evening out my lids to make some veins I have there less visible.
That's disappointing to hear about the Ephemera, especially because I don't like the scent of JPG. I'm probably going to try the liquid highlighters next. You save me some $$$!
