Seriously?! How is that possible?!
You can tell I have had a revelation today 🙂 Perhaps you have already noticed that I prefer simpler, not very heavy looks. They are colourful, yes, for I love colours…but never too over the top. Which is why I hardly ever do anything really dark, and I generally have stayed away from glitter and too much sparkle. Why, oh, why????!?!
It all started last week, when I was going through my regular check up on the alicejo.com website. It is, of course, an online makeup store. What makes it even more appealing to me, is that they are situated the city I live in, so I can just hop on my bike and pick up my order within a day, without paying additional delivery costs. There was a sale of Barry M products (I will show swatches in a separate post), so I got me a few dazzle dusts (pigments that is) and…a green glitter liner. It was just 1 euro so I thought, “what the heck, let’s be bold!”. I picked it up, got home, dropped it into the rest of my makeup stash….and there it would likely have sunk into oblivion, if it weren’t for a fellow blogger (lisanneblogt.wordpress.com, in case you are interested). She is really talented and I truly admire her makeup looks! Reading her blog inspired me to try out the glitter business 🙂
I was doing something with green, gold, and orange…and I wanted to add the final touch but be different this time. I reached out and after a few-minute search I found it: the Barry M green glitter liner.
One stroke, and I was sold! I really loved the outcome. It definitely isn’t something you can wear to the supermarket, or to work…but on an evening out, sure!
