TINSELTOWN
Forget the halls-deck your lashes with some high-watt glitter.
We really like glitter.
We like it in our hair, on our lips, and even spritzed all over our body.
But when it came to coating our lashes with the sparkling stuff, all products seemed to fall short. Some left goopy chunks, while others proved bling-less out of the tube.
No surprise, then, that the first company to get glitter mascara right would be Hard Candy, the beauty brand that first initiated us into sparkle territory back in the ‘90s.
Since its relaunch earlier this year, Hard Candy has tweaked the classics (see: Nail polish and ring combo) while coming up with new products. Our favorite just might be its Lash Tinsel Mascara. The gel formula is chock-full of glitter that actually coats evenly when applied. Brush through once for that snow-caught-in-lashes look; brush through tips twice (or more) for that Twiggy-caught-on-camera look. The five different shades range from a subtle black to a bright gold, and can even be layered on top of your standby volumizing/curling/strengthening mascara.
And because no glitter aficionado should be left in the cold, the mascaras are just $6 each. Which is something we don’t just like—we love.

I actually just bought the black one last week and get tons of compliments every time I wear it...I use one coat over my regular mascara and love the way it applies and the amount of sparkle you get...Perfect for the holidays!
