Happy Tuesday to you!
The limited edition Too Faced Glitter Bomb Palette recently released and I’ve got my thoughts about it and some swatches to check out.
Glitter Bomb features eight glittery, shimmery eyeshadow shades as well as a white matte “Brightening Base” and a black matte “Intensifying Base.” It comes in a cute, thin black palette decorated with the words “Glitter” spelled out in real glitter (protected and encased by a plastic insert.) There is a mirror inside and it comes with a How-To Glamour Guide.
They also have a new Shadow Insurance Glitter Glue Glitter Bonding Eyeshadow Primer (sold separately for $20.00) which is a colorless cream “glue” that locks the glittery pieces in place, so you have less or no fall-out. It is definitely a stickier base than their regular Shadow Insurance and it seems to really hold things in place much better than regular primers do.
You can use the shadows wet as well to create more of a “liquid crystal finish” but I haven’t tried that. They are a bit build-able as well. My swatches here were two swipes each, and everything was swatched over the Glitter Glue.
Fairy Dust, Confetti, Hot Damn!, Glitter Goals (over Glitter Glue)
Fairy Dust is a light pink/white.
Confetti is a light pink/lavender.
Hot Damn! is an intense purple/pink.
Glitter Goals is a purple/grey/blue.

Using the Brightening Base does seem to make these pop a bit more.
Rose All Day, Work It, Oh, It’s On!, Splash (over Glitter Glue)
Rosé All Day is a light pinky/peach.
Work It is an intense burnt orange/pink.
Oh, It’s On! is a vivid copper/gold.
Splash is a medium mermaid-ish blue/green.

And over the Intensifying Base they definitely do get more intense and even change color a bit.
If you are into glitter, shimmer and shine, then you might like this palette. I do suggest investing in the Glitter Glue unless you have another method which keeps fall-out at bay because these WILL get all over. I like that they came with the matte white and black to help switch them up. I do think the deeper shades are much better than the light ones in terms of color payoff, but you can build them up some.
You can find the limited edition Too Faced Glitter Bomb Palette for $45.00 at Sephora or Ulta or the Too Faced site now.
Glitter on your lids, is it something you are into or no?

Glitter Errwhere! Even if I am getting a lil too old for it, and by that I mean my eyelids aren’t as taught as they once were. In case anyone was wondering, Glitter Glue is definitely a worthwhile investment. I use it with BB sparkle eyeshadows, MUFE Fiamond sparkles and the Stila jewel shadows. It’s a solid performer. I’m actually passing on this one because I won’t wear most of the shades, but I ordered the KVD Glimmer palette the moment it went on sale.
This looks very similar to the Urban Decay Moondust Palette! I think for that reason I don’t need both although I was extremely intrigued when I say that this was coming out!

I really thought that these eyeshadows would be bad, but after seeing your review I actually liked them, wasn’t expecting that!
