I didn't see any dusts for sale in the FB link above.....

If you are in the US and the dusted portion of food will be eaten, you need to use edible dusts that are made of FDA approved food additives.  You can find such dusts from thesugarart.com, pristinepowders.com, sugarpaste.com, globalsugarart.com, firstimpressionsmolds.com. 

If a dust is described as "non-toxic", IT IS NOT EDIBLE.  If a dust has no easily readable ingredient list [or no ingredient list at all], IT IS NOT EDIBLE.  If you are in the US and a dust is described as being edible in other countries [and/or uses "E numbers" to list ingredients], IT IS NOT EDIBLE HERE.  If a dust is described as a "highlighter", IT IS NOT EDIBLE.  Real metals--gold or silver, for example--are not approved food additives in the US.

Looking at the photos of the product and the Instagram post [she doesn't answer direct inquiries about it being FDA approved],  I have to say that I doubt that it's a dust approved for use on food in the US.  I'd have to see the label showing the ingredients before I could be certain, but I have yet to see an honestly edible dust that is that bright when mixed just with vodka.......

When you purchased, did it come with any type of label or ingredients list on the container?  If so , please share that information, as everyone wants a truly edible product that is so metallic. 

Or, has it been re-packed in a plain container?  If so, it can't be considered to be edible in the US because every food producer has to be able to cite every ingredient used in/on every product.

A product described as edible in a country other than the US is not likely to be approved as edible in the US unless is specifically uses color additives certified by the FDA and is also labeled in an FDA-compliant manner.

Really good to know. I haven't looked through that yet as I did not buy from her. A friend has refereed me to her page and I was going to purchase once they are back in stock.
