I have nothing but love for Bare Escentuals bareMinerals cosmetics. Although the mainstay of their line is their foundation, I have found all of their other products that I’ve tried to be superb as well. The glimmer is no exception. The particles are ultra refined so as to impart a sexy, sophisticated shimmer–never a juvenile, chunky glitter effect. The shades are diverse and wearable. You can apply them in a gentle sweep for a subtle effect, or pack them on for a striking look.
Because the glimmers are a loose powder, I always prep my eyes with an eyeshadow primer (usually a MAC shadestick or paint) before I apply the glimmer. Also, you may want to place a tissue under your eye when applying a darker shade of glimmer to catch any particles that flutter down.

I have fallen in love with the Glimmers. I have a turquoise one (Peacock?) that is divine.
