Glitter is everywhere these days, and we’re not talking about glitter from your eyeshadows, nail polishes, or lip glosses. It’s about time someone used glitter to give us a nourishing – but visually stunning – peel-off face mask that we can parade around Instagram. Now, face masks aren’t anything new on social media but when they come with glitter that glisten when they catch your bathroom light? Yup, that’s something we definitely need.
We recently blogged about Frank Body’s Shimmer Scrub, which makes us wonder if glitter is becoming the trendy ingredient of our daily skincare ritual.
Makeup brands like Too Faced and GlamGlow have dropped hints that they’ll be releasing the glitter face masks this December. Each brand has their own draw-in, with Too Faced founder Jerrod Blandino showing off the fine silver sparkles of the Glow Job and cult-favourite makeup artist Jeffree Star slathering on GlitterMask all over his face. Prices of the products are not yet released.
Kim Kardashian’s makeup artist, Joyce Bonelli, will also soon be launching a diamond-inspired Glitter Scrub Enzyme Mask that makes it the most glamorous face mask we’ve ever seen.
The glitter masks we’ve seen usually come in tubs or jars, making it easy for us to liberally apply some glitter mask all over our faces. Both Too Faced and GlamGlow claim that their peel-off masks won’t leave anything behind – no need to scrub off any remaining residue or glitter. Not entirely sure we believe that because these glitter particles look like they could be pretty abrasive to the skin.
For those who can’t wait to start the glitter face mask trends, a few Instagrammers have been taking it into their own hands.
Come this December, your Instagram feed is going to be a glittery mess.
