I love this eyeshadow! It is a beautiful light lavender with mid-tone purple iridescence and very similar to Viz-A-Violet pigment. You need to pack it on to show the lavender, but the iridescence...

One of my favorite eyeshadows! I love purples because they really flatter my green eyes and this one does that really well. I love pairing this one with Digit and Nocturnelle for a polished and...

I had read on the makeup boards that NYX frosted lilac was a dupe of this, so I never bought this shadow until recently (since I own frosted lilac). They're not dupes at all. Frosted lilac is much...

Beautiful Iris is a very pretty lilac color with an opalescent tint to it, which I find really flatters my brown eyes. It is, however, not very pigmented (unless used with a really good primer...
