FX Glitter Drops Review

It’s beautiful.  It’s sparkly. I loved all the swatches.  The social media photographs of it stole my heart.  So, I bought it. Then, I returned it.

I bought the FX Glitter Drops in Lunar.  When I swatched it in stores it had this beautiful multi-colored glitter.  When I used it in real life, I was very disappointed. The only thing I really noticed in real life was a blue cast with none of the other colors picking up.

I used the drops as a highlighter, a lip topper, and an eyeshadow topper.

AS A HIGHLIGHTER

A little bit on the top of the cheekbone is beautiful.  I really liked this product as a highlighter. It was beautiful.  It worked well with my skin tone and gave a wonderful amount of sparkle.  I definitely recommend it as a highlighter.

AS A LIP TOPPER

I really wanted to like this as a lip topper.  When I bought this, I envisioned using this as a lip topper above anything else.  It looked beautiful on the lips, but it was so sticky. I just can’t stand sticky lips.  The fact that it was sticky was a huge negative to me. Also, I felt like I had other (non-sticky) things that would give me a similar look.  (See Too Faced Unicorn Tears.)

AS AN EYESHADOW TOPPER

This works alright as an eyeshadow topper.  I actually wish I had more time to test this product as an eyeshadow topper.  It gives you a beautiful bit of shine. However, the product doesn’t seem to fully set.  If you give it a moment to dry a bit (it doesn’t seem to dry down completely), you will have a much more enjoyable experience with it.

Overall, I thought this product was best used as a highlighter.  It didn’t really work as a lip topper and it only kind of worked as an eyeshadow topper.  I bought it to be a multi-use product. After taxes, I spent around $50 on this thing. Ultimately, I decided I wasn’t going to get $50 of use out of the product so I returned it.

I already own a lot of highlighters that I really like.  I’m not going to throw money away on a $50 highlighter when I already have a collection of beautiful highlighters to turn to.

NOTE:  I took several photos of the product in use when I owned it, but I’m not sure where those photos are now.  I will attach the swatches to this post if I’m able to figure out what I did with them.
