Not everything that glitters is gold, but it certainly does catch our eyes! If you haven’t caught on, our Ultimate Beauty Gift Guide is separated into different categories because there is just too much beauty products that we love to squeeze into a single guide. Up next, we have one of biggest makeup trends this year – GLITTER. The messy stuff that we always swear to never touch again because it’s is a pain to remove, but we always end up giving in because there is just something so irresistible about glitter.
From gentle shimmers to holographic eyeshadow blings, you are well on your way to becoming a magical unicorn the brightest star in the room. See anything that will brighten up you and your loved ones’ makeup pouches?
