All That Glitters Is Not Gold... But It Sure Is Pretty!



So as the title may suggest, this is a post about glitter! 

I have two different companies I'm going to talk about Eye Kandy Cosmetics & Glitter Express




Eye Kandy Cosmetics

So I got my Eye Kandy delivery just before Christmas and I was the happiest! I got the Kandy Bag with two sprinkle pods (so that's Eye Kandy's Liquid Sugar and 2 tubes of glitter) and two other glitters.




























In the bag came two glitters, Liquid Sugar and a brush for making liner out of glitter (they also threw in a little candy cane, nice touch!)

The colours I got were;
Sour Grape - a lovely bright yet deep purple 
Candy Coin (which they sent me free, so lovely) - a stunning gold, it's a very luxurious gold, and pictures just don't do it ANY justice whatsoever! 
Mad Mellon - a lime green, which when put over Sugarpill's Acidberry is just SO GOOD!
Raspberry Blast - a winey red with a hint of black through
Sour Berry - a really lovely kelly green

The glitter itself is so fine and lovely to use, it's super pigmented and super glittery and shiney. 


Liquid Sugar... I don't even know where to start with this amazing invention, really and truly. I've tried this and glitter glues, and Liquid Sugar wins every time. Glitter glues leave your eyes feeling quite sticky I find, whereas Liquid Sugar makes the glitter so it doesn't budge at all. It at first feels like you're putting water on your eyes then whey you put the glitter on top and it dries, it doesn't feel hard or anything but seals everything in place and it doesn't crack or let glitter fall down onto your cheeks! 


If you're a glitter lover, I would 100000000000000% recommend you get this stuff for sticking it down! 



Glitter Express


So what feels like it was a million years ago, I went to the Beauty Show in the RDS with the lovely Grace  and like magpies to shiny things, we were attracted to the Glitter Express booth. I went slightly wild and just wanted EVERYTHING, and I did get quite a lot of colours (treat yo' self and all that). The girls at the booth were so helpful and lovely too, which made it nicer to buy from them!

I don't know the names of the glitters (or if they even have any, but sure)

















This gorgeous light blue is one of my favourites I got, it's really versatile. I love adding it over Melt Cosmetics Fixated!



I love this fluro green, I've yet to try it but the colour is sooo lovely I can't wait to try it!



I love this really rich red, it kind of reminds me of Christmas, it will be nice with a bit of gold for a Christmassy look! 






































This is really different and I was attracted to it instantly, so much so that I ordered 2 huge bags of it off their website (oops) but it's so unusual but nice! 








This is a really lovely purple, I love to put it over Sugarpills Dollipop it really pops! 


I think if you love glitter, check out Glitter Express, they have a gorgeous selection of colours and the price is so reasonable I'll be getting my glitter from Glitter Express from now on!

The Versatile Blogger Nomination

Thank you veryyyyyy much to the lovely Amy for the nomination! I hadn't a clue you'd nominated me until today, when I was having a little read through posts that I've missed the last few days! (Also hadn't a clue what this was all about)

So the Versatile Blogger nomination means, if you get nominated.. Tell your followers 7 things about yourself, so they can get to know you better! 


Let's get started... 



  1. I am a qualified makeup artist as of 2013. I did my course in Vanity X in Swords. I didn't ALWAYS love makeup, I used to not wear any makeup at all.. and I used to not EVER do my brows (who ever let me leave the house years ago?!). However I love it now, it's alllll I ever think about. 
2. I am a huge huge huge animal lover! My puppy (will always and forever be a puppy) Dice is my BABY. People used to think I actually had a child when I talked about him. My fluffy baby! 
























3. I currently work in an office with my mam and my aunty. 

4. I've studied both Photogrpahy and Makeup in college. I didn't really like photography that much to study, but I do love it as a hobby, I own too many camera's... but always want more! 
5. In 2008 (I think it was 2008) I went to Las Vegas & Florida with my mam and dad, but I was wheelchair ridden as I dislocated my knee from falling a week before going (big oopsie)
6. I'm a through and through spendaholic...  it's very hard for me to not spend money!
7. One of my favourite foods is tofu... a lot of people hate it but I loveeee it, can change it to any taste and the texture is weird but i like it!


I'm pretty boring aha.
I nominate anyone who reads this for your facts about ya & comment here to tell me you did it! (if youve already done it... let me know anyway! :)


peaceeee, Hayley xoxo
