What's out there in sparkle and glitter:
Tony and Tina Cosmic Lights $12 in shades like Transcendence and Higher Love. These are pure crystalina and polyester containing no mica or aluminum making it safe for all over including sensitive eyes. Apply it with a brush or your finger. I like to use it as a highlight for the cheekbone, eye, chest and shoulders over makeup or alone. Tony and Tina Cosmetic $24 in Flesh and Iridescent is an all over shimmer that can be mixed with blush, moisturizer, and lipgloss or used alone. Use your finger or a brush to apply. Tony and Tina Herbal Eye Pencil $18 in four sparkling shades. Black with silver, Brown with gold, Blue with silver and Pink with silver and gold. I used the Black with silver on my model on Makeup 101 and also just used it this past weekend for a wedding I attended. What fun!
