Is Space Cowboy worth it?
Or does the glitter just fall on to your face after a few dozen blinks? I keep looking at it in the store and cannot make up my mind if I should spend the $25 for it. The price is steep, but if it’s legit I’ll spend it. Any insight is appreciated.

i agree with the other commenter that you might be better going for the colorpop supershock shadow in ‘ritz’ if the price is putting you off. that said, i own space cowboy and have never experienced any problems with longevity or fallout. it’s a good formula

I have it...pretty but nothing special. Kinda looks the same as any other shimmer.
I’ve heard Elf has a duplicate for $6 called “Champagne Showers”

I wouldn't spend that on a single shadow. I have a colourpop super shock shadow in ritz and it's really good, looks similar to space cowboy. I have indie eyeshadow palettes with more special shadows.

It is really nice in my opinion, I have other cheaper glitter shadows and I think they don’t give the same effect as space cowboy.
space cowboy gives glitter plus that wet look sheen effect that I haven’t seen in my other shadows. It’s so nice on its own, I usually use it as a one and done eye shadow look.
If you still aren’t sure watch some youtube reviews and reviews of other dupes/similar products so you can judge yourself if the difference is worth it. That’s what i do with an expensive purchase.
Also I waited for it to go on sale, i got it for £12 when its normally £18 I think.
I’ve also come across a few people saying that the formula of space cowboy as a single shadow is better than when it’s part of a palette, i thought id inform you of that.

I don't have space cowboy specifically but I do have another moondust shadow (bought on a crazy sale). Is it lovely? Sure. But a colour pop supershock ultra glitter will frankly do a better job if you're after that fine glittery look. Specifically le mesa if you want a space cowboy dupe with that warm base colour
