This is our first campaign write up for BrandBacker. How exciting!!
We received a sample from BA Star, something I wanted to try for a while, Holo Glitter!!
The package came with a 0.5oz jar of Holo Silver Glitter and a tube of Body Shimmer Base which basically is a body glitter glue.
Glitter: The jar is just a normal twist top jar, so be careful opening it, although nothing spilt out when opening it, I always use a lid or tray just incase.

look at the colours!! I just LOVE holographic anything =) |
Base: Pretty much a lipgloss tube with the same sponge tip application applicator.

I was looking around and realized BA Star's cosmetics are all super sparkly & very flashy..? WHY? Because they are one of the leading companies for cheerleader makeup!
When you're on TV or showing off to a big crowd to rile up their spirits, the glitters are a MUST. Super glittery and cheerful. No fall out is a very big must..
But, I am not cheerleader, I will probably only put some glitter on me for special occasions - maybe a dance, dress-up or something.
I appreciate how strong the glue base holds and smooth the application is but I might try the glitter for other applications, maybe nail polish? ;)
For testing purposes, I used the Body Shimmer Base and swatched an M on my hand. It was quite fine, no smell and non-sticky! I applied it and touched it right away and it was kinda creamy. I have to admit, I have quite sensitive skin so it did itch a bit.
Next I just took a Q-Tip and kinda dabbed/shook on the glitter and blew off the excess over the sink.(<--haha).
 |
| isn't my sparkly M so pretty? :) |
I let it dry for about 5 minutes and lightly touched it. There was a bit of fall-out but didn't ruin the M.
I went out for groceries for about an hour, (YES with a big sparkly M on my hand!) I came back and this was the result.
 |
| after an hour of shopping :( I bet I left behind many glittery apples. |
Not bad, but after a while I got a bit itchy and I removed it.
Overall, it's not bad, for its purpose it does a really good job. I don't imagine that cheerleaders after applying this would start scratching themselves or something lol!
Removal was super easy, just a wet napkin, but with all glitters, there will always be a few left behind
They have alot of fun products to try and we have special surprise, just down below, right after a few more pictures!

ReplyDeleteI believe the code is only good for the glitters like this one.
DeleteThanks Chelsey,
Deleteactually there wasn't any specifications when the code was given to me, so I will have to go confirm it with the company on it's restrictions. Please bear with me :)
I got confirmation "The 50% Discount can be applied to Glitter & Glue."
DeleteOoh Id love to try this! you dont have to be a cheerleader to wear it Mir!
ReplyDeletethanks! take advantage of the 50% off =)
DeleteHoly glitter batman - impressive with how well it stayed on your hand.
ReplyDeleteI like glitter - but I don't think to many people will be able to get good use out of glitter and glue.
Interesting ideas though.
