Love this champagne-coloured, shimmery shadow - as a wash on its own it gives a fabulously 'angelic' pre-Raphelite look, on my PPP (red hair, green eyes) skin. It's also versatile as a highlighter...

Love the versatility of this color. Took off one lippy because the shimmer is hard to control from getting everywhere you did not intend it to go. I use this more as a shimmer/highlighter than as...

A light yellowy-gold color that is very chunky. I find this color difficult to work being that the top of the eyeshadow has hardened somewhat. I have over 60 MAC eyeshadows and there are a rare few...

Retrospeck is a shimmery champagne gold which looks lovely on my blue eyes. The Lustre formula is very sparkly, but easy to apply, and lasts well. I will repurchase this colour. Me: N1/NC15, blue...

I liked Retrospeck when I tried it on my hand at the counter, but when I got it home it looked so much lighter when I applied it. It's an okay color to use on my browbone, but other than that, I...

I got this in a holiday pallette, and I adore this colour! Its a lovely beige shimmer. The only draw back is that you end up with glitter all over your face, but its really beautiful alone or as a...

A cool shimmer gold. It’s chunky because it’s a lustre (I hate lustres) I wear this as a highlight with the other colors from the warm Nordie’s Printout Palette 2004. I’d love it even more if it...

This is a beautiful golden c.hampagne color with subtle sparkles, one of the few e/s from MAC that I've had to rebuy

I like the shimmer but it seems like after an hour the glittery flecks are gone. I've found that the best way to apply is with my fingers otherwise the product is applied everywhere but my eyes. ...

Very glittery yellow champagne colored e/s, great texture, great color payoff. I would definitely wear this an night since it might be a little overpowering in the sun. It also looks awesome with...

I'm sort of on the fence with this one. I love the colour - a sparkly gold shade, but i really hate the texture. I like my e/s smooth and silky (velvety too), and these are none :( Retrospeck is...

Retrospeck is universally flattering and works great as a highlighter. I use this as an every-day look to open up my eyes, and this looks awesome when used with black, winged liquid liner.

One of the lustres, this has quickly become one of my favourites, paired with sable it looks AWESOME! So polished, yet shimmery, summery and fun. The 'flakiness' of the glitter really doesn't...
