Hi everyone,
This is the last one in my glitter series for now. I am in love with purples and violets these days. I bought two lipsticks as well from this colour family, and to balance things a little, I bought this glitter pot for my eyes. Check out the review here.
Price: £6.30 for 4 g
Product Description:
Polyester glimmer is a stunning product for creating beautiful, sparkling effects on body and hair. It can be applied directly to the skin or on top of Multi gel, Hydro Spirit gum or Supracolor for longer lasting effects. It is available in 3 gradients of particle size from fine to coarse.
My Experience with Kryolan Polyester Glimmer Fine Purple:
Packaging:
The glitters come in a small, plastic, transparent, round pot with a transparent lid. There is a hole in the pot that helps you to take out the glitter. The lid shuts pretty tightly and the lightweight pots are thus very travel-friendly. The shade name and other details are mentioned at the bottom of the pot. Due to the transparent packaging, you can know the colour from outside too. This is not a luxurious packaging but a very convenient one for professional artists.
Texture:
Compared to other fine glimmers that I have, this one looks a little coarse. It does not blend smoothly on its own and needs a medium to adhere to the skin. However, the particles are not too coarse and feel comfortable once applied.
Shade:
This is a bluish purple colour with fine shimmers in it. The shade is bold and perfect for wedding party makeup. This colour will look best if incorporated in night makeup. I will prefer pairing this one with nude lips and a well-contoured face. This is a little close to the lavender glitter that I have. However, this one is deeper and I can use it along with the lavender shade to create contrast.
Staying Power:
Since it is a little loose on its own, I prefer using it with a mixing medium (I use Inglot Duraline). It is not messy post-application. The fallouts during application can be taken care of using a cello-tape. Cello-tape can be used to remove the glitters too and then a swipe of a good oil based cleanser (I use a coconut oil-castor oil mixture) cleans everything without any residue. The product is very comfortable and light-weight. I have sensitive skin and eyes and it never causes any irritation. However, it is better to be a little conscious during application so that the particles don’t go in your eyes.
