Lit Cosmetics collection, swatches and review

This is an awesome Canadian company from my home sweet home; Calgary Alberta. They specialize in glitter and they have amazing colors (tons of them!) and the best adhesive out there.

I started by buying a couple colors a number of years ago and that turned into a full blown addiction... I love glitter, what can I say?

 Hopefully this post can help others who are interested in purchasing some Lit but want a swatch to really see what the color looks like because I know the website can be a little difficult to tell from their pictures.

Lit sells their glitter in 4 cut sizes (4 being the largest) and 4 finishes (solid, shimmer, metallic and electric)  Most of the colors I have are size 2. I have a few size 3 solid colors but most of my size 3 are shimmers. All electrics (neons) are size 1 I believe. I don't own any metallics.


Here is my whole collection. I have the blacklight sensitive colors off to the left.









The blacklight sensitive colors are so much fun to play when going to parties or clubs!
Swatch time!

 Army brat, mary jane, plush, cayman, madonna, nirvana, twisted sistah, punk, and roxy rolla.
 Strawberry angel, vixen, carrot head, liberache, champagne wishes, rich and famous, heavy metal, beach baby and hot chocolate.
 Hot chocolate, cowgirl, hoochie mama, I feel love, gun smoke, Marilin Monroe, Miami vice, pink flamingo, dreamsicle, sugarfree, superstar and purple rain.
 Magic dragon, go golf, seeing stars. This picture didn't really capture it but magic dragon is an awesome green over black eyeliner whereas seeing stars is lots of blues and purples.
Priss, pretty hot pink, solar blast, green machine, lemon tart, London calling, no doubt, beyond pink, kabang, reboot and kaboom.
I somehow missed swatching Gal friday. Its a slightly darker purple than twisted sister.
Here is my boyfriend and I from last Halloween. I wore magic dragon and 
green machine (which glows under blacklight!) that night. The glitter didn't budge all night. I think I still had it on when I woke up the next day. lol! We had a lot of fun. 

Hope you enjoy the pictures! If there is a color you want a better look at please let me know!
