The glitter comes in a tube with a screw off top (kind of like a mascara tube) and one downside I found is that when you screw off the top and open the product that quite a lot of glitter falls out (but I’d guess it’s to be expected by the nature of the product).

Ok, in terms of if I’d buy this again… I checked the price (£10.50), and I’ve got to say that unfortunately I wouldn’t. I’d say it’s at least 1/3rd smaller than Mac Glitter/Pigments and I would say that they win hands down.

However, if you’re at a Virgin Vie (now called Vie) party and feel like you want to buy something but aren’t quite sure what, then I’d say this is a great product that (although super-sparkly) can easily be worn alone, or with/over other shadows during the day and the night.

I don’t wear makeup very much, at least not on a daily basis, and would probably only have worn this for a special ocassion. Sam convinced me to try this for daily wear on the school run, and suggested that I put it on lightly.

I didn’t believe her that it would go on pale and sheer, but it did and it looked okay dropping my kids off at school. Then she changed the goal posts and challenged me to create a glamorous nighttime look but without using anything other than this trio.

I’m not sure if my actual result was that great on a technical challenge, and Sam didn’t see it (would you let your makeup artist friend see your makeup attempts?), but I could see her point that it would be possible to create a dark look aswell as a light look.
