Essence eyeshadow in Party All Night

i'm on quite a gold eyeshadow hunt lately since i saw a girl with an amazing gold eyeshadow but missed the chance to ask her what she had worn on her lids. it was a rather cool tone gold, medium darkness but with beautiful yellow gold shimmer. so i tried out several gold shades at home and in the drugstore but until now i haven't found a good match.
this eyeshadow, Essence #35 Party All Night is a test purchase - in store and in the pan it looks just like what i wanted, but unfortunately the halogen lights above the displays skew the result and swatched under normal daylight it looks a lot less than my expectations.
it's one of their fairly new shades with a metallic finish. in the pan it looks like a golden taupe with lots of gold shimmer and sparkles, swatched it's still a golden taupe but with a rather flat white sheen. however it's one of the better textured Essence eyeshadows, finely milled and applies smooth and even with a medium pigmentation but sheer finish. it builds up nicely and blends very well. if i wasn't that specific about the gold shade i wanted, i would be more pleased with it - but with my inner picture of that rich gold shimmer i'm searching for, the flat pale gold sheen of Party All Night is quite a let down for me.
the very fine, almost creamy texture combined with the sheen is another problem: it accentuates every bit and line of my skin, making my lids look a bit crumpled and old (although they're obviously not ;)). this is only minimal on me, but i don't think it would look good on more mature skin. it doesn't last too long without creasing (maybe also because of the creamy texture?), i get about 7h when used over a primer.
overall, it's just ok. for the money i paid (i think it was something about 1.55€ for 2.5g) i shouldn't complaint. it still is a nice everyday neutral that could work on it's own but also combined in a more dramatic look as a light-catcher thanks to it's reflective finish. i especially like it on the lower lashline.

this is how it looks worn:

a neutral brown eye with Party All Night in the inner half of the lid and on the lower lashline, on the outer parts i used a matte chocolate brown.

another version, Party All Night on the lid and lower lashline with a teal liner

no real dupes in my stash (that came to my mind yet), other than Catrice Mr. Copper's Fields.
