I don't know what it is about fall: the days getting chillier, the joy of a cozy night in with candles twinkling, and the roasting of gorgeous, caramelized vegetables in the oven.. all of that just makes me want to get ELBOWS DEEP into a bunch of sparkly beauty things. I know that all the beauty books tell you that for women of a certain age (like, over 12), glitter is a big ol' no-no. Well, I say, one of the great things about being a woman is setting the rules for myself. Don't you just get chills thinking about setting your own beauty rules? Is that just me? Okay. ;)
Well, I remember a night not too long ago that I was playing with Things Not Often Used in my beauty drawers (!), and I came across some MAC Glitter. I found myself summarily intrigued by a gold glitter, and a BLACK. I know, right!? Now, MAC has some great glitters, and I find myself going to their Reflects line all the time (the Reflects are extremely fine glitters that add a sort of liquid, high glimmer finish). But their straight up chunky glitter? I'd never tried it, but I dove in.
