Autumn Inspired Look ft. Lit Cosmetics

Today's glitter look is inspired by the upcoming season, my favorite season, Autumn. Lit Cosmetic's glitter in Soul Sister in Size #03 was the perfect glitter to use. When I first saw the different colors and shifts in this particular glitter I was instantly reminded of the leaves transforming from green to gorgeous yellows, golds, and browns. I used Soul Sister on top of some dark brown eyeshadow on my lower lash line. This is my favorite way to incorporate glitter into any of my looks because it's subtle. It's still a fun pop of glitter but without being too crazy and flashy, just a nice little accent. You guys can see me use this "technique" with a lot of my sort of inspired looks. If you'd like to see close up swatches of this shade and the others in my collection, as well as my review on Lit Glitters, I'd suggest clicking here. Here's what I used for this look:

Wonder Woman Inspired Look ft. Lit Cosmetics

Today's glitter look is inspired by the wondrous Wonder Woman and features the glitter from Lit Cosmetics named after this super lady! I picked up Wonder Woman in Size #02 at the NY IMATS of this year. If you don't know, my boyfriend is Superman, or Superman is just his favorite superhero, I forget which ;) haha! Either way, when I picked up this color at the Lit Cosmetics booth and swatched it, I was in love. When I saw that it was called Wonder Woman it would have been almost criminal to have left the convention without it. The make up look in this post is inspired by Wonder Woman and dedicated to my super boyfriend.

Mermaid Inspired Look ft. Lit Cosmetics

Today's glitter look is inspired by my inner mermaid. Usually when you love mermaids you sort of have a secret (or not so secret) love and appreciation for glitter. So there was no way I could do a week's worth of glitter looks without having one inspired by the majestic deep sea creatures. For this look, I incorporated the Lit Cosmetic glitters in Peacock in Size #02 and Margarita in Size #03. Instead of putting the glitters over top of the whole lid I concentrated Peacock in the outer corner to deepen the look and used Margarita on just a small bit of the lower lash line to brighten it up and really make the look sparkle. If you'd like to see close up swatches of this shade and the others in my collection, as well as my review on Lit Glitters, I'd suggest clicking here. Here's what I used for this look:

Champagne Wishes Inspired Look ft. Lit Cosmetics

Today's glitter look is one that's meant to show you guys how wearable glitter can be. Champagne Wishes in Size #02 is probably the most wearable glitter I own from Lit Cosmetics. I paired it with a natural and slightly smoked out eye look, as well as some kicking winged eye liner (you don't know how proud I was of those tiny wings!) I wore this out to dinner with my girl friend's and would probably even wear it out on a date. Champagne Wishes is a glitter that didn't make me feel uncomfortable or like I was a walking/talking glitter bomb. Although it was quite sparkly and obvious that I had glitter on my eyes, having such a neutral color paired with neutral shadows, lips and face really didn't bring too much attention it, which was great! If you'd like to see close up swatches of this shade and the others in my collection, as well as my review on Lit Glitters, I'd suggest clicking here.
