#becauseglitterduh Day 5 - Gold Glitter

I am going to end this mini-challenge to myself with the glitter I was most scared of using: straight up gold. Literally, that is what it is called. "Gold".  I got it in one of the holiday pigments set from MAC last year and never played with it. I started out with only putting it on like an outer corner eyeliner, and when some fell onto my lashes, I figured I would go half ham and apply it to my outer bottom lashes as well. I now see flashes of light when I blink, going to imagine this is what Tinkerbell sees when she is flying and throwing pixie dust over her shoulder.

#becauseglitterduh Day 4 - Reflects Pearl on Green

I am starting to think that Reflects Pearl is my favorite glitter: it transforms into whatever color I put it on, and that is awesome.

I used the Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette and Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner 'Mars'. I had never used Mars before and I now regret that. It is such a unique shade and worked really well with the 3 colors from the Chocolate Bar that I used (see last picture for all products).

#becauseglitterduh Day 3 - Reflects Pink

Going strong on day 3 of my #becauseglitterduh week! I received MAC's Reflects Pink glitter in the mail yesterday and couldn't wait to play with it. I knew I wanted an all over the lid glitter for today, so that is what I did! I have realized that the reflects glitters are more subtle in photos (they are so hard to photograph), but in person, they just shimmer all over the place, which is my favorite way to wear glitter.

#becauseglitterduh Day 2 - Reflects Blue

For #becauseglitterduh I applied MAC's 'Reflects Blue' on top of Tarte's Amazonian Clay Gel liner. This glitter is my favorite because it reflects blue and looks different depending on what you place it on. On top of the black, it is full on bright blue! Love.

#becauseglitterduh Day 1 - Reflects Pearl

Glitter Challenge Day 1- M.A.C Reflects Pearl

Using Too Faced's Chocolate Bar (below): 1-Crease, 2-Brow bone, 3-Transition, 4-Lid
Added:  ColourPop 'Amaze' on lid & Reflects Pearl on the inner corner as a highlight and swept in towards the center of my eye. The result is an everyday look with a glimmer of shimmer (pun intended).

Because glitter, duh!

It's glitter week!!! I LOVE glitter. My idea of makeup 12 years ago was throwing on some mascara, blush, lipgloss, and plastering some prisma glitter I got from my mom's scrapbooking stash all over my eyes and stuck in the lipgloss. The more the better, no shame here. Now that I am 30+ years old, I don't  think I can get away with my old ways. But, I can still rock glitter in a more grown up way.
