Micro Fine Cosmetic Grade Glitter

The key ingredient to all shimmering makeup and beauty products is micro fine cosmetic grade glitter.

Craft glitter is strictly for crafts and does a wonderful job to add beauty and sparkle to crafts. When it comes to shimmering makeup we want to use only the finest and safest products. To create pixie dust, we need micro fine glitter not coarse craft glitter.
