My thoughts:

These Hot Pots from Coastal Scents are a lot like MAC's eyeshadows, and maybe even better. They all have a creamy, soft texture, and most of them are HIGHLY pigmented.

I would agree that the application of this particular shade is sheer. However, I DO NOT agree that it has a matte finish. Its fairly shimmery in my opinion. There isn't glitter or sparkle, but it is definitely not matte. I love using this shade, though, for a brow bone and inner corner highlight.
