This year I fell in love with everything sparkle, shimmer, and glitter. This is totally on trend, with the MAC Glitter and Ice Collection, the OPI Holiday Muppet Collection, and the Essie Luxe Effect Collection.
On my hunt for everything glitter, I came across a few products I am loving these days to create different holiday looks.
Hard Candy at WalMart! Show Girl Loose glitter. I bought the gold one, but once applied it looks like it has specks of gold and copperish-red. Along side this I picked up the Hard Candy glitter glue, helps to hold the glitter together instead of falling everywhere.
Lise Watier at Shoppers Drug Mart, they have a Cream Shadow/Loose Glitter Duo. I bought the "Golden Taupe" I think it is called. The Cream Shadow looks very similar, maybe a little warmer, than Mac's Morning Frost Paint Pot. The Glitter is a Brown Taupe. I didn't find the cream base made the glitter stick very well, works much better with the glitter glue. I thought about picking up a liquid glitter eyeliner and just using it all over my lid, but opted for the loose glitter instead.
My favourtie glittery lipgloss is YSL Golden Gloss. I have had mine for a while now, but they are sheer coloured glosses with gold shimmer/glitter in it. The gloss wears like most other glosses, but the glitter stays behind.
Nails. I was inspired by Katy Perry's Disco Ball Nails. They were freaking amazing. Silver polish covered with silver rhinestones. So unless I wanted to pay for that time consuming mani from the salon, I had to find a way to get the same effect myself. I looked everywhere, except the BSO (where I would have probably found what I was looking for, oh well) for small rhinestones to apply to my nails. I couldn't find what I was looking for, so I opted for Revlon's TopSpeed Silver Polish covered with Essie LuxeEffect Glitter Polish in Set in Stones. This glitter is amazing, different sizes and shapes of sliver glitter. Right now I am wearing a red polish from OPI with the silver glitter on the tips. So festive.
What holiday trends have you been caught up in? Any great glitter products you have tried?
Happy Holidays!
