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.

Nightlife Inspired Look ft. Lit Cosmetics

Today's glitter look is inspired by the night. Lit Cosmetics' glitter in Nightlife in Size #03 makes the perfect blinged out eyeliner to sparkle up a night time look. The multi-colored glitters set against the black just make me think of a bustling city with all it's super bright lights- something you'd find in Times Square or o the strip in Vegas. Placing Nightlife on top of a pigmented black eyeliner really makes the multi-colored glitters stand out. Then placing that same glitter over top just a shadow helps add some subtle smokey-ness to the look, as well as shine. It's super subtle despite all the craziness of the colors mixed in the black that you could wear this to enhance a smokey look to go out, or on it's own for just some jazzed up eye liner. 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.

Summer Inspired Look ft. Lit Cosmetics

Today's glitter look is inspired by bright and sparkly color. When you think "glitter", besides being super sparkly, you always manage to think bright and colorful. Using Lit Cosmetic's glitters in Goober Grape in Size #03 and California Soul in Size #03, I went glitter bananas for this look. Seriously, I packed on so much glitter that I would blink and it would just rain sparkles. I wanted it to dazzle and be seen from a mile away, which is what I got. This look, to me, is the epitome of summer. Bright, in your face, and really fun! It's def. not one of the most wearable looks that I've come up with (my mom called me to move my car whilst this was on my eyes and I had to get my sister to do it, haha) but it just makes you want to smile. 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.

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:
