The past eye shadows I had purchased of Milani's I really wasn't that impressed with. NOW, they were very high shine and shimmer, difference type of consistency, and they just didn't go on good. I like how this ltd edition shadow goes on....EXCEPT I'm not a big fan of matte shadows. I do wear them, but usually put on some type of mineral shadow over it lightly just for a hint of pizzazz. I will also agree with the majority of everyone... the gloss to the far right is my favorite as well and SCREAMS 80's. But it looks awesome and there is nothing on the market that I've seen that even comes close to it. Glad I've got that one in my collection!! It certainly is a must have.... either by itself or over a bold lip liner.
