I would like to know if anyone has tried this. What do you think of this product, is it WOC friendly; ashy; glitter/grease bomb like? I'm really excited to hear what you guys have to say about these!
Product description:
A softly tinted, sheer, reflective, semi-fluid colour used on the under-eye area to help brighten the look of dark circles. Can also be used to highlight and contour key areas of the face.

I'm particularly interested in Smooth Spice.
I'm NC 500-600 in hyper real for reference (I range from NC 43-45 or possibly higher).

I've tried it, and I like it. It does brighten under the eye area. I bought 4 because the tube is smaller than it looks. I'm NW45 for reference.

I honestly haven't used them on myself yet but I used them on a customer today and she was a C7 for reference. I honestly forgot which one I used but it added a slight glow and it looked great.

It's supposed the illuminate the under-eye area, where a lot of us have dark circles. I like it because I can stop using my expensive Px Custom Blend concealor under my eyes, and if you think about it, there is nothing under the eyes that we really need to conceal, just brighten.

Anyway, greatscott, I haven't tried the YSL product, although I wondered over to the counter when I was in Nordstrom. They had three shades, they all looked really light to me, but really creamy. I guess there is a Toffee shade, but for some reason it wasn't on the display. I think, just from what I saw, that the YSL Touch Eclat might be (i.e is probably) nicer, however, at less than half the price, the MAC will definately do

. You also get more product, .17 ounces versus .1 with the YSL. It's nice, but probably not as nice as the YSL, but I think most of us feel that way about a lot of MAC products versus very high end beauty lines. It depends on what you're willing to pay for it I guess. In conclusion (this post is getting longer by the second) I'd say that generally I'm not a huge MAC face-product fan, excluding the blot powder and concealor, but I like this product, and I'll proabably be hoarding more. That should say a lot.

Side Note, for any Px addicts, I wonder if they could Custom Blend a concealor that did nothing but illuminate rather than conceal...? Hmmm

Uh... I guess another question I have is how do they compare to the Smashbox illuminators (uh, I don't know the real name of the product). They come in tiny pump bottles like the MAC Glimmershimmers (but slightly larger and boxier) and have 3-4 shades. Oh yes... how do they compare to Glimmershimmers?

^^^^ You mean the artificial light by Smashbox. I like them better than the Glimmershimmer. I think that they have a smoother texture.

OOPS...you meant how do the studio lights compare to the glimmershimmers. LOL

I really wanna try these but I'd like to know what the ingredients are first. Anyone that has purchased these...if it's not too much trouble I'd love to know what's in it. I mixed my concealer with base light paint and I loved it...wonder if these will do the same

The Studio Lights don't have obvious shimmer, so the effect is going to be more natural. I haven't used the Smashbox products, but I wouldn't (personally) use Glimmershimmers under my eye. Studio Lights are going to give a similar effect as using concealor under the eye, but better in my opinion because it's illuminating, not just concealing. Although a lot of concealors have illuminating ingredients. It just depends on what you're looking for. It's another option to add to you basic application.

I tried it yesterday and loved it. There was no shimmer but it brightened up under my eyes beautifully

Yes.

And I wasn't impressed by the Beauty Powders. If you've got a whole range of MSF's, Shimmer Bricks, various shimmer/highlighting powders, Irridescent Pressed Powders, Sheer Shimmer Powders or frosty blushes you don't need these. The lighter shades are a subtle shimmer which is nice, but a thousand other products that most of us have already do the same. The only one I could see purchasing was Soft Flame. It's a frostier Flirt & Tease. But I think $21 for that tiny jar is a rip off. Just my personal opinion. I vowed to give them another glance, but the more I think about it, the less likely it is that I'll change my mind.

Yeah, I also just picked up Smoothspice today. I really like it and wish they could make a concealer with this consistency in the perm collection.
