Jane Iredale 24KT Gold Dust - Rose Gold

Ever wonder what is at the end of a makeup rainbow? This little beauty is there waiting for you. The multi-use product is literally a pot of gold at your finger tips.  The shimmering powder can be added to cheeks, eyes,  and lips for a gilded look. Or if mix it with a bit of moisturizer and apply to bare skin or with a favorite hair product and apply to your hair. The powder creates a nice ethereal look with minimum effort. And the best part, it doesn't take up much space! It's a great way to add a bit of glitter to your life without looking childish.

BA Star Chocolate Star Dust and Body Shimmer Base

The glue goes on white and tacky but dries clear

The texture of my skin was a bit rough but when you rub it in goes smooth and soft

BA Star offered to send me a sample of their Chocolate Star Dust and Body Shimmer Base, I was super excited to try it. BA Star supplies makeup to performers, dancers and cheerleaders. I figured that their makeup has to stay put and last all day given how vigorous their lifestyle is.  When I first got the chocolate star dust, I thought it was eye shadow but it turns out it is  body shimmer, mostly because the of the base that BA Star supplied. The body shimmer base was white and look a bit like Elmer's glue but it is not sticky and very easy to clean  without leaving a residue. The star dust has a bit of a coarse texture but when you rub it in, it becomes smooth and soft.  While, I don't use body shimmers anymore, I think I might use the star dust as eyeshadow or use it during Halloween.
