TKB Trading's Pearl Pink is…well, exactly what it says on the tin: it's pink, with a pearl finish. It's a very light pink, so this works well as a glaze or a highlighter rather than an all-over or primary “anchoring” color.

TSS' Spread a Little Light& has more of a light shimmer-finish, with more complex colors (blue, gold, and white) while Pearl Pink is just pink pigment with overlaying white pearl finish. Different finishes aside, they're got the same base color and the same pigmentation-weight. If you run out of TSS' Spread a Little Light, or missed out on it entirely, TKB Trading's Pearl Pink will do much the same job. Aromaleigh v1's Edie is a near-exact match: same base color, same finish, same staying power.

According to the TKB Trading web site, this Pearl Pink mica is not FDA approved for use on the eyes. I am almost positive that Aromaleigh and The SheSpace used a similar mica in their colors, but not this one; but Simply Naturals was essentially just reselling unblended micas that they repackaged. I don't know if the Simply Naturals people ever read the MSDS for this color, or not. (I'm guessing not.) At any rate, I have used this on my eyes and haven't had any problems…but if you are buying this mica from TKB and were planning on using it as an eyeshadow, do so at your own risk.
