I enjoy bright and colorful eye shadow looks but I've never really used a lot of glitter shadows mainly because I didn't want to make a big mess in my bathroom but I recently decided to take the plunge and experiment with some glitter shadows. A wonderful cosmetics company called Orglamix agreed to send me a 5 pcs grab bag of their cosmetic glitters. Store owner Cheri is always a delight to speak with because she is sweet, speedy at responding and always likes to make sure her customers are happy. Orglamix isn't a new company to me, in fact I own quite a few of her regular loose pigment eye shadows and I love them so I was very excited to try out her glitters as well. Each jar of glitter comes with a little sifter inside (it arrives with a protective cover so you won't be getting a big glitter mess when you first open the jar) and a screw on top, each jar contains 2.5 grams of glitter, the jars are pretty sturdy I've accidentally dropped mine from off the counter before onto the floor and nothing was wrong with the container, I do want to note that from time to time the lid doesn't want to go on correctly so you'll have to try once or twice to get it on straight. Which five colors did I receive in my grab bag? I will be writing about them in the order that they appear on my hand below in a left to right order.
Red Red Wine - I like the color of this glitter but the name throws me off a little, mainly because when I think of red wine I think of more a maroon color instead of a shimmery purple. It could also just be my eyes not wanting to pick up on the red though as the website lists it as being "deep red wine metallic glitter that flashes an array of purple grape sparkles". This was the first glitter I tested out and I paired it with a light black and silver eyeshadow look and it was quite lovely.
Under Pressure - I love the name of this and the color! It is a bronzed golden color with slight hints of red. I think this would be perfect to pair with a Gryffindor inspired makeup look because it suits their house colors perfectly.
Lost In Love - This is listed as a "pink iridescent glitter that flashes an array of golden peach, emberglow orange and metallic red hot sparkles" on the website. It has a soft angelic pink with shimmery tones, you can pick up on the peach and a bit of the red although you can't quite tell in the photo. This is a nice soft shade of glitter that would go well with several looks and will be nice for quick and simple every day looks which is perfect for work.
Sailing - My favorite color is blue so naturally this is my favorite of the five, but not only do I love it because it is blue but it also has bits of purple glitter which you can make out in the photo. This shade reminds me of Sulley from Monsters Inc. and I think it would be perfectly suited for a Mermaid inspired look.
One Night In Bangcock - This is listed as a "ultrafine chartreuse yellow green opaque glitter." it has a shimmery lime green color that reminds me of wasabi. I am not completely sure what kind of look I want to try this with yet, but it is a fun shade that I can't wait to play around with.
The set arrived in a cute little pink bag and there was a Tea bag included which I thought was a nice touch. You can use the glitter without a glitter glue but I highly suggest getting some before using this product so that it sticks and stays through out the day. If you hadn't noticed all of the shades are named after songs, and yes I did get quite a few of these songs stuck in my head during the duration of writing this review. When using this product I didn't notice a ton of fall out while applying the glitter, there was a little which is expected with any loose pigment but my face wasn't covered in glitter once I was done using this product. The glitter is fine enough that it is non irritating you can hardly even feel that it is there which is awesome because some glitters are too thick which makes it feel like it is grinding into your skin and it is just the opposite with this. Removal is easy as well, I didn't have any issues getting the glitter off, I was able to go about my normal cleansing routine. Orglanix also sells foundation, concealer, eye liner and more and best of all it is all Vegan, Cruelty Free, Natural & Organic made from all natural ingredients.
Once I get a chance to experiment with these glitters some more I will post a picture or two on Instagram of how they look!
