   This is a orange copper color with great pigmentation. I expected this to be more orange but I like it nonetheless.

   I gravitate towards warm tones so this is right up my alley. I like to pair this with a matte orange in the crease. I like the staying power, pigmentation, and find the color goes on well dry and wet. I do usually prefer to apply loose shadows wet to help minimize fallout and maximize color payoff.

   The biggest con is the packaging. It’s a little bottle with an opening most shadow brushes can’t fit in – detail brushes could fit.
   I depotted my shadow into an empty gel liner pot and like using it more now!

   Unfortunately these look like they are being discontinued. They are no longer available on Ulta’s website and are on sale at NYX.com.

   While I like this one I also have another I don’t like (orange zest) so these seem to be a little hit and miss. I probably won’t look into purchasing others. While this was a hidden gem I do tend to use pressed shadows more often.

   This is a coppery orange shade and very beautiful on the lid if you go for colors like this. It really flatters my brown eyes and has better longevity if used wet. I usually blend it with brown shades to give more definition to my eye area. These usually go on sale at Ulta frequently so I can afford to buy multiple colors. It can a bit messy to use so I suggest working with a little at a time and maybe putting a tissue under your eye when applying to avoid fallout.

   This is a nice, almost dirty orange color. On the outside of the bottle it actually looks more like a bronze copper color, but when you apply it it’s definitely orange. It’s very vibrant and shimmery. I haven’t applied it wet yet but even dry it’s as vibrant as some wet shadows.

   I wore it for the first time today and it creased horribly with Urban Decay Primer Potion, but I think that might be a fluke because I’ve worn other Ultra Pearl Mania colors more than once and they didn’t crease at all. I’ll update when I’ve worn it again.

   If you’re trying to decide between this and Orange Zest, this is a dirty orange while Orange Zest is a very bright tropical orange with more of a sparkly shimmer (though there’s no glitter in it).

   I love it! Great color,but not an overpowering orange. It has great pigment and looks great, especially with an eye primer. The price was even better. Like most reviewers here, the packaging is not convenient at all. The spout is small and if your not careful, you can pour more than you’d like to. Overall, I think it’s anothe great product by NYX.

   Have to agree with honey’s review below, Orange Pearl more of an orange juice orange than a crayola crayon orange. It works a version of peach that works for me. Especially paired with NYX ‘Cinnamon’ blush. Still happy to have it. I put into small sifter pot. The packaging is not the greatest. (DDD NW45ish or HIP818)

   This color is deeper on then in the bottle, but its not totally orange. That works for me though because I’m not a orange person. This shadow is pigmented, even with a tiny bit. It has a nice shimmer. The bottle is tiny, and you can’t get a brush inside the opening, but you don’t even need to. I just use whats inside the lid, and the little bit that sticks to the outside of the opening. You can see it on me in my photos pared with Purple and Fanta. Probably won’t buy again because I’ll never run out.

   The shadow is really fine, and goes on easy. A little bit goes a long way. I bought all 24 colors on ebay, and this is one of the first of them I’ve tried. I’m really please and excited to try the other colors.

   This is a good product, and a good color, but it is not a true orange, which is what I was looking for. This is like a coppery orange. The formula is good, you only need a bit, but unlike the chrome shadow, I need to use it with water to get it to show up vibrantly. As for packaging, I don’t think it is bad, but it is hard to get out – I can only use a small brush to get it out. I have orange and yellow gold for this loose pearl shadow, and I find it was darker than what I expected. If you want more intense and bright colors, go with the NYX chromes. Don’t get me wrong, I will still use these because they are good!

   It’s a tiny bottle, but don’t let that fool you! You only need a tiny bit, and personally I prefer these over mac pigments. They go on smoother, are cheaper, and wear for longer. The packaging is a little stubborn though. The neck opening is a bit too small for brushes, or at least to use them easily, but if you know if over tons of product can spill out. I tend to use what accumulates in the lid, or pour some out into the lid. It’s much easier that way.

   This is a great color, I use it with the yellow gold pearl, they look gorgeous together.

    I got this from a super generous swapper, and I love it. It’s a medium deep orange, kindof apricott-y. It applies sheer but can be easily built up, and when you put enough on it comes out looking almost wet, although it is dry. The small containers are a bit annoying, but my brush is small enough that I don’t have a problem getting into it. These are sortof a bit chalky.. but it doesn’t really bother me.
