NV Colour Glitter Pots

AHHHHHHH!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I love glitter. There, I said it. I, Holly Wednesday Lowe, am a magpie. I shameless gravitate towards anything remotely shiny and I gave into temptation and bought not one... not two... but three NV Colour glitter pots. I couldn't help myself...

But look at them...

Lilac

Prism

Bronze

They are just so beautiful!

Glitter is a simple thing, it looks beautiful and makes you shiny. Some have insane amounts of fallout, others don't and actually stick to your face.. And that one thing alone (barring that you like the colour) is really the only important thing about glitter. 

You will always, always, have some degree of fallout while wearing it, it's the way of the world. It's not like a powder shadow or a cream but loads of tiny wee shiny bits that have a tendency to leave the party a wee bit earlier than planned. Mibbe they had work in the morning?

But I was impressed, yet again, by NV Colour. Not only are the colours I bought stunningly gorgeous but they did a really good job at staying on my oily eyelids. It's also nice to see a chunkier glitter stay so well as they tend to be the ones that abandon ship quite early. I just used a Rimmel Scandaleyes Eyeliner in black to make a base and used my fingers to apply it (the best way for me personally as I have quite big, round lids). If you don't want to use fingers, a brush or sponge tip applicator can be used.

It does come with a wee brush hidden in the lid like a James Bond gadget but i didn't find it that effective for packing it on for a glitterati sensation! If you only wanted a dusting then mibbe it would be useful. I don't consider this a negative. Because, realistically, who uses the brushes/sponges they give you?

So lets move onto the glitters, shall we?

Left to Right; Lilac, Prism, Bronze

Lilac is a beautiful lilac (no shit) coloured glitter. It shines so brilliantly in the light and is a nice change from the deeper purple glitters that are more common. I love that it is a softer colour while still having the same punch as a richer toned purple.

Prism is just so pretty. It's a white based glitter with soft pinks and bluey tones shot through it. This glitter makes the nicest "overcoat" to a black or darker eye and just adds something a bit more interesting to the traditional smokey eye that we all know and love.

Bronze. Do I need to say more? This looks like metal on the eyes. It's so vibrant and striking. It really catches the light and then it does you've got yourself a show stopping look!

How I would say to applying any glitters regardless of how strong you are applying it is to do the eyes first. Aye you can put a hanky or shadow guard under your eyes but it's a lot easier just to do the eyes first, clean up and then move on to complexion.

*Fun Tip of the daaaaaay!*
Use some sticky tape to easily lift glitter from your face. But please, mind and take some of the stickiness away first!

Now that we have talked about how well they stay on and seen how beautiful they are, lets talk about removal. I use the Oil Cleansing Method to wash my face so I didn't have any problems removing the glitter. Traditional cleansers do remove these but i would gentle wipe thwm off with a cloth to remove tuem fully.

These bad boys, they have earned their place in my kit and are really affordable at £6 for g. If you wanted some chunkier glitters, definitely check out NV Colour if you haven't already!
