This…is patchy as hell. I'm guessing that these “reflects” should be applied like cosmetic glitter, rather than with the expectation that they'll provide smooth even coverage and color. I've never personally been a huge fan of using cosmetic glitter by itself, which is probably a large part of the reason that I don't know the most advantageous ways to apply it or even if it can be applied like regular loose-powder eyeshadows. I'm not even sure if these particles are small enough to be safely used near the eye area - though I'm going to go out on a limb and say that they are, because MAC appears to market these like eyeshadows, and a company that huge with that much of a presence in the US marketplace would not so blatantly risk running afoul of US health and safety regulations.

And now, for something completely different…

Aside from the how-to-apply business, the color is attractive. It's softer than Copper Sparkle, so it's possibly a bit more wearable than darker copper orange shades like that one, in terms of color-matching. This was part of the Warm Thrillseekers kit. Again, as I am not a fan of cosmetic-grade glitters, and since I don't love the fad of larger-particle glitter nail polishes, I have absolutely no idea how I might use this one.
