Too Faced Glampire
Too Faced's Glamour Dust in Glampire is a gorgeous and complex shade that's rather difficult to describe. It's a deep mauve pink with intense glitter that ends up reminding me of a red/green duochrome. Hopefully you can see what I mean in my swatch photos. It is described by Too Faced as a "peacock brown," which reinforces my perception of this as a duochrome.
The application was quite nice. I was wary of applying a glitter, firstly because fallout seemed inevitable and secondly because I'm too old for glitter. However, I was pleasantly surprised on both fronts! The fallout was minimal when I applied this over a cream base (I can't remember which). I think I noticed only one stray glitter. I didn't find the glitter to be overwhelming either. The sparkle was lovely but I don't think it looked like I had dumped glitter all over my eyes. I think it's great how the glitter is combined with a shade that is neutral enough that it doesn't cry out for attention.
This is clearly a glitter shadow so one can't expect it not to sparkle. The color is beautiful and its formula is easy to work with, which is all you can really ask for. I got this on sale for $10 on Urban Outfitter's website, which I think is a great deal. It goes for $17 full-price, which I find to be pricey but the shade is unique enough that I think it can be justified. I personally would not pay full price just because I'm not someone who will reach for glitter very often. I have to say, though, that this is probably a great glitter shadow for people like me who like to play it safe because it is so neutral.
