All That GLITTERS
You deck the halls with lights that twinkle , light fires that burn shimmering embers , fill glasses with dazzling champagne , and only play with sparkles on the eve of a new year . But who ’ s to say the magic of all that glitters ends there ? Leave behind the notion that you can only rock glitter on the most special of days , and instead , indulge in your inner child by getting your hands a little sparkly . You don ’ t have to douse yourself in a vat of costume glitter to celebrate this trend because the wonderful world of cosmetics has made it possible for you to join in on the fun without the mess .

GLITTER POP
If you want to hop on the trend , but don ’ t want to commit to something as bold , Too Faced has just what you ’ re looking for . The thin brush-tip applies their Glitter POP ! Eyeliner evenly and the glitter intensifies with each swipe , making for a statement that can be amplified to your liking . The best part ? You don ’ t have to fuss with makeup remover for clean up . Once it ’ s dry , it peels off just like a strip of tape . Lift at the edge , carefully pull it up , and you ’ ve avoided any potential messy cleanup . I told you glitter is magical .
UNICORN GLITTER
Unicorns are real and I have proof : Unicorn Snot . Though the brand name comes with a guaranteed giggle , it supplies a muchneeded dose of happiness . Unicorn Snot prides itself on its range of glittery goodness from lip glosses to multi-purpose gels . If you ’ re willing to take a leap , fall right in love with glitter-roots : apply Unicorn Snot Glitter Gel to the roots of your hair and style accordingly ( space buns are my personal favorite , but braids or a center-part work , too ). Take it a step further by using this lightweight gel as a funky highlighter atop your cheekbones or collarbones . Once it ’ s set , it ’ ll stay put while you dazzle the world , and with a quick rinse , it ’ ll wash right out .
