Are You A Holosexual?

I nearly spat my coffee out all over my laptop. My eyes nearly bugged out of my head. I giggled a little.

Those were my reactions to a single word that came out of YouTube beauty vlogger Tati's mouth. A word I'd never heard before. A word I've heard plenty times since. The word?

Holosexual.

In a nutshell it's what you call someone who is obsessed with all things holographic, and the term is attributed to YouTuber, SimplyNailogical. You can see when visiting her page that she is a fan of all things holo. (If you do visit her page, be prepared for some swear words and general mayhem, something I enjoy but I know it's not everyone's cup of tea. You have been warned.) Since she cointed the term it's spread through the beauty webesphere as has the populartity of all things holographic. Are we surprised? Not at all. What's not to love about a rainbow of shimmering colours? 

So what's out there in the beauty world for fellow holosexuals to get all het up over? Check these out!

With it's blueish grey hues this holographic nail polish 'Clever Girl' from ILNP isn't just completely beautiful, it's perfect for adding some sparkle into the cooler months! Want something warmer? They have a rose gold holographic nail shade too! 

Not only does Kat Von D's Alchemist Holographic Palette feature four fabulous holographic shades, it's divine holographic packaging makes it a Holosexual's dream come true! How gorgeous would this be sitting on a dressing table? 

Speaking of gorgeous on a dressing table... Hellooooooo Becca's Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Pristmatic Amethyst. Is that shade not absolute perfection? I don't think I could even bring myself to use it. I'd just hold it up to the light and move it side to side, watching the light catch and reflect.

Of course if you want to get a little holo, but don't want to delve too deep then a little holographic lip gloss is a good way to go. Although we can't help but think anyone dipping their toe into a holo gloss, like Sigma's Lip Switch will soon find themselves diving in and going full Holosexual.

So, are you on the holosexual band wagon? What products have you all hot and bothered? Or is this a trend you're staying well away from? Holo at me!

Ba ha ha omg this is awesome - I started cracking up when I saw your post on Facebook. My first reaction was what the heck (although if I'm honest it was a less tame name than heck ha ha ha). I need to check this vlogger out, so sounds like more my kind of person to watch lol.

The holographic makeup are so pretty! I would wear them on my nails, but as face products, I fear it might not suit my skin tone

Hmm not sure holographic lips is for me. There are so many holographic nails polished out now too

23rd June, 2017

Oh yes I have holographic powders for eye shadows and highlights.

23rd June, 2017

I like the nail polish! It would be great as an eyeshadow too I think

The lip Switch reminds me of a paint job one of my previous bosses had on his car (I also chuckled at the flash fandangled name) :D

Has anyone got the Becca product? It looks super lovely, but then I'm wondering if it leans a bit lavender on the skin as well. I probably don't need to look any cooler products on my skin tone.

I would LOVE to try holographic eyeshadow, could you imagine how prettttttty!

I love holographic for nails. Think it's a bit too light for a highlighter. I'm still not a fan of it for lips. I love seeing others with it on though.

21st June, 2017

They do look pretty.

21st June, 2017

This is meeeee!!! I love it all, I want it all, imagine lips going all holo, I need these, all of these "heart eyes"

21st June, 2017
