You wouldn't know it to look at me - because to look at me I am L'il Miss Neutral - but despite my clothing colour palette of blue, white, grey, olive and shades of brown, I am a glitter junky. If it sparkles, if it shines, I'm transfixed. In fact, a day doesn't go past where something shimmery and glittery isn't on my eyelids - except no one can tell due to my lids being of the hooded variety. But I know the glitter's there, and boy does it make me happy. What made me even happier was reading that 2018 is the year of glitter! So if you've been hiding your light now's the time to shine!

An easy spot to reveal your inner magpie is your nails. Whether it be toenails or fingernails a dash of sparkly polish will pretty them up and catch the eye of other fellow magpies! We love the shade 'Comet' from Kester Black. 

Want a disco ball on your lids? Get it with the Glitter Bomb Eyeshadow Palette from Two Faced. Not only does it have eight stunning shades, but you can change up or down your look by using the matte white and black shadows. It's a glitter lovers playground in a palette!

Sparkle up your kissers with a glitter-infused lippy, like Mecca Max's Glitter Pop. Glitter Pop comes in three stunning shades and is sure to make for one heck of an unforgettable statement lip.

More of a gloss girl? MAC Dazzleglass will pretty up your pout with a more subtle glittery irridescence. (And it's got that yummy vanilla scent. Am I the only person who swatches MAC lippies only to sniff their hand repeatedly until it's worn off?)

Glitter in a highlighter is not everyone's cup of tea, in fact by the sheer amount of articles I've read that list the best highlighters WITHOUT glitter it would seem it's not a favourite of the masses. BUT, if you love a good glittery highlight that'll ensure you're seen from space you can't go past Jane Iredale's 24-Karat Gold Dust Shimmer Powder in Champagne. I own it. I've only dared to wear it once. It's an intense as you can get, and if that's your thing, you'll love it.

Another offering from Mecca Max that will help you sparkle up your look is their loose glitter. Available in a variety of shades you can apply it over primer to your face or bod, or mix it with creams or glosses. Set it with setting spray and you're set to outshine the sun! 

So, do tell... are you a fan of all things glittery? Will you be rocking the glitter this year? Or are you more a subtle shine or magnificent matte kind of woman? Chat away!

I'm so glad that this year is going to be the year of glitter, a great reason to simply embrace and celebrate one's inner glitter child. I have only just managed to get my hands on some glitter flip gloss which is pretty kool because the glitter effect increases when you smack your lips together. I think I need to go back to Mecca Cosmetica and check out their other glittery products, my nails could do with a splash of glitter as well.

I love a bit of blingy glitter! Brightens up the day.

That nail polish yes yes yes!

Glittery nail polish is about the extent of my glitter addiction!

22nd January, 2018

I don't know why but I avoid glitter as it probably reminds me of dressing up as a child

I love glittery nail polish that is generally the only thing I tend to go for in the glitter range

Oh I should mention there's Magnificent Metals Glitter & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow by Stila. I was in Mecca the other day and the store assistant was wearing one of the shades in the inner corners and just a little on her inner lid and it looked so fresh, beautiful and bright eyed. I don't know how well it would wear and if it transfers but it was so pretty it almost went on my wishlist and I didn't know about the product beforehand.

The only place I wear a glittery finish is my nails,not in to the other glittery looks unless I was going to a fancy dress party then I would go ALL out.

I do like glitter and I'm loving the Two Faced palette, it's so pretty! I also love glitter nail polish, but I don't really wear glitter lipsticks but that first photo is gorgeous!

18th January, 2018

Omg the glitter lipstick looks amazing! But I bet it wouldn’t feel great...

18th January, 2018

Gasp! That mecca lipstick is so pretty!! The other day I saw a blue/pink iridescent gloss at Mecca that I really wanted and it looks just like that lipstick.

I’m a huge glitter fan! Eyes, cheeks, nails! They’re my go to spots for a bit of glitter.

Not keen on glitter. Only like a shimmery eyeshadow and highlight

17th January, 2018

I love things that sparkle too Kellie!! Not so much glitter in highlighter but on eyelids and nails.

I'm not a fan of glitter to be honest but it is very on trend at the moment. THe only glitter products I use is nail polish.
