The particular store I purchased these from didn't have a wide selection of all the shades NXY offers given that they offer 162 shades!!!. I purchased 4 different shades, dark navy (frosty), Fahrenheit (frosty/shimmer), purple (frosty) and eucalyptus (frosty) all of which had very nice pigmentation. I found that there wasn't much difference between the frosty and frosty/shimmer other than the fact that the frosty/shimmer had very fine sparkles in it. The colors go on very much as they appear in the packaging. They have an extremely creamy feel to them and if I didn't know better I would swear these were cream shadows that blend like shadows. They blend very nicely and I found myself wearing multiple shades together. Eucalyptus was a great shade to blend with any of the shades I purchased.
My ONLY concern at this point: I dropped one of the shadows from about 2 feet high and the shadow completely broke away from the container and eventually just crumbled. I don't typically have this issue with something like a MAC shadow. This is not to say it couldn't happen, but I have dropped several of my MAC shadows and have have not had this happen. However, makeup isn't made to be dropped, so this is definitely "my bad," however, it's left me wondering how durable it will be as I use it in my everyday life. I love my make up, but I don't have time to pamper it either! :) Not a show stopper by any means, but something that I will be watching.
