Basically, the kit gives you endless possibilities to create several lippie looks using the five different products. The most popular look making waves now is the full-on glitter look, which makes your lips look almost like "ruby slippers." This look is so pretty in photos and pictures, the lips take full center stage in the whole look. Although this is not practical say in your date or wedding or for everyday since glitter does get everywhere, it's pretty for editorial, a photoshoot, or a three-minute pole dance number.
As we wait for the kit to be available here in our country, here's a cheaper way of attaining the same glittery look for a fraction of the price with items you probably already have. Note that this lip art is very meticulous and you're gonna have to be super clean, patient, and precise to be able to get the neat look you want.

You will need:
- A lipstick and lipliner in a matching color (I used brown)
- Matching fine glitter (I purchased my glitter in Landmark, the same glitter they use with for nail art)
- Clear gloss
- Concealer
- Powder
- a small, flat synthetic brush (I used a concealer brush from Katch Beauty Supplies)
- Adhesive tape
- lip brush and concealer brush
Steps:
1. Prep lips by dabbing concealer and setting this with powder.
2. Line lips and fill in.
3. Apply your lipstick. Since my glitter is brown, I used a brown-nude lipstick such as "Love at First Swipe", a lipstick from the Pink Sugar x Project Vanity collection.
4. To help get the precise lines, apply adhesive tape on the edges of your lips. It looks funny but it works in making your lines cleaner. Then, apply clear gloss on your lips. This will be the "adhesive" to hold the glitter.
5. Using a small, synthetic brush apply glitter in a dabbing motion to the lips making sure that all surfaces are covered neatly.
6. Remove the tape. Carefully brush away any loose glitter around the lips with a fluffy brush or use tape to remove glitter. Clean up lines using concealer and powder and a flat edge brush and if desired, retouch lips as needed with a super fine brush.

8. If desired, highlight the cupid's bow with gold loose pigment.
FINISHED!
The real thing, from the reviews that I've read online, are more finely milled and less gritty. I prefer using the glitter used for cosmetics rather than bookstore bought-glitter since these are finer and made for cosmetic use rather than your arts and crafts projects. You may also try using MAC reflects glitter for a different effect.
The look looks really festive and so I kept my eyes at just a complimentary soft smoky with lots of mascara. I would wear this if I'll be performing or doing a shoot but I'll skip this at a party, especially if I know I'll be eating and glitter would sure get everywhere.
In case you want to remove the glitter, I suggest to use adhesive tape in order to remove the glitters on your lips rather than wiping or relying on makeup remover because the glitter will just travel all over your face. just place the tape on your lips, sticky side down and the glitter will come off without getting it all around. Then proceed to cleanse your face as usual. Use any glitter color you wish. You may even opt for the glitter to be just a subtle sparkle at the center rather than full-on glitters.
