Let me start by saying this mica powder is a STEAL for the price. As someone who's experimented with countless brands, I was skeptical at first—but that 3.5oz pouch lasts forever. The resealable bag? Genius. No more glittery kitchen countertops after midnight crafting sessions (though the zipper could be sturdier—more on that later).

The pearl white shade is my holy grail—it’s like liquid moonlight when mixed into epoxy resin. Unlike other whites that turn dingy, this stays brilliantly opaque even in thick pours. Pro tip: Pair it with interference colors for ethereal galaxy effects on tabletops.

Now the not-so-shiny part: The texture isn’t as ultra-fine as premium brands. When airbrushing, I had to strain it through cheesecloth to avoid clogging (190 micron filter works wonders). And yes—that bag really does arrive looking half empty, but my scale confirmed every promised gram.

Where it shines? Soap making! Cold process or melt-and-pour, the color holds up beautifully without bleeding. My pumpkin spice soaps with their orange mica swirls? Instagram gold. Same goes for slime—just a pinch makes playtime feel luxe.

Final verdict: Perfect for hobbyists and small projects where you need volume without bankruptcy. Would I use it for a $5k epoxy countertop commission? Maybe as a base layer. But for DIY magic that won’t break the bank? Absolutely worth every glittery speck.
