Review: BarryM Fine Glitter Dust 23!

Today's review is on BarryM's Fine Glitter Dust number 23. The glitter dusts are identical to the very popular Dazzle Dusts but with glitter as the name suggests. They come in a range of different shades and retail for around £4.50 in most drugstores, and are often on some kind of offer.

The product comes in a little glass jar with a twist off lid and I've never had any problems with it leaking, the lid falling off or breaking. It's compact and looks nice in your make up bag. My only problem with the packaging is that you can't see what colour each one is unless you store it upside down, which I HATE doing. At one point I had around 20 of these and Dazzle Dusts (which have the same packaging except it says Dazzle Dust on the lid), and it was a nightmare to find the colour you want. For this reason I found myself using them less and less as it took to long to find them on a daily basis, however if you don't mind storing them upside down, this wouldn't be a problem for you.

From my experiences, I'd say that all of the Glitter Dusts have the same wear and the same formulation. The glitter tends to fall don't your face when applying it so you definitely need to take your time, and if you blend a lot, the glitter seems to disappear into nothing. The glitter is extremely fine and not chunky at all.

This shade has a matt black base with purple glitter. The pictures don't nearly do it justice; its a beautiful colour that can be very eye catching when worn in the crease or as eye liner.

I strongly recommend using a primer with these. They look pigmented without, however the glitter will slide around without. When worn with a primer I find these to last all day on me.

I'd give these 8 out of 10 overall. They're great for special occasions or if you want a stand out colour, but applying them is just too much hassle for a daily basis.
