The special visual effect is just recoloring your costume/skin black. I can use the tailor for that. Instead I wasted G on something utterly useless. The grainy textures and name tricked me.
I have the same and I'm not sure what you thought would happen besides recoloring your costume/skin black from the description and image? The picture is accurate except that it doesn't show the aura's animation. For the quicksand auras, they also have an ooze animation similar to the ooze material options from the Corrosive costume set.
I recommend for folks to go to PTS to test auras prior to purchase. If it's from a currently available lockbox, where the lockbox example character is located outside of the bank and next to the event vendors, they will also preview auras for you if you watch them for a minute or two.
