Hey guys,
So I've been looking around the beauty blogging community and decided that I was going to start looking into more affordable products for us all to enjoy. Now I know we all love a bit of glitter and I have a company I love (see very first post) but I've been shopping around and found House of Sparklez UK (www.houseofsparklez.uk) which is a little more affordable.
UPDATE NOTE: I have been approached by this company to be a promoter of their brand (exciting times I know) but I PROMISE you this review is my honest opinion and I WILL NOT promote something I don't like or wouldn't use. I have bought these products with my own money in order to test and review them for you before spreading the word (Discount Code at the end).
House of Sparklez UK sell a range of cosmetic glitters as well as false eyelashes which look amazing (but I haven't purchased yet so not reviewing). The glitter is sold loose in pots and can be purchased fine or chunky depending on your needs. I have only purchased the fine glitter at the moment so again I will only be reviewing that.
All products by House of Sparklez UK are cruelty free and vegan and the glitters are also 100% cosmetic grade, biodegradable and hypoallergenic. So far I'm loving the ethos of the company as some glitters are not hypoallergenic or biodegradable.
The loose glitter pots are sold alone and are £2.50 per pot containing 3g of glitter. House of Sparklez UK recommend using this product with their Glitter Fix glue (£3.99 for 3g). Unfortunately they had sold out of it when I placed by order to I used a different glitter glue from another brand (sorry guys I will add to this when I order the Glitter Fix). I paid £2.50 delivery but I don't know if this goes up with the amount of products you buy. The items were delivered in 2 working days and they processed my order quickly too.
I bought 5 different shades of the fine loose glitter; Asteroid, Bubblegum, Fire Opal, Berry and Fuchsia. I'm really impressed with the quality of the glitter, it is very fine, has a high shine and are so vibrant in colour. Each colour is distinctive even amongst similar shades such as Berry and Fuchsia and I love that so many shades are available.
The pots are only small but for the price I have no complaints as you will get a good number of applications out of each pot. I didn't have to use much to get good coverage which is also great.
UPDATE: House of Sparklez UK have just announced that they will be selling their glitters in large pots for £5. Well worth the price as you get more than double the amount of glitter in the large pot 😍😍.
I found that the glitter mixed well with my glitter glue and was easy to apply because of this. I also tried applying the glitter and glue separately and although a little trickier the glitter was still pretty easy to apply and I had minimum fallout from my applicator.
To apply I use a fine detail face painting brush to ensure that I keep the glitter out of my eyes. It's also a great tool for adding detail to your cut crease whether you're using glitter or not.
I did have to pack on a little more glitter in areas of creasing around my eyes as the glitter did move. However this might not happen if you use the glitter fix so I will update you on this as soon as I have tested it. I also noticed more creasing under the eyes rather then on my crease.
The glitter was really easy to remove thankfully. Again I will say that I didn't use House of Sparklez UK Glitter Fix so I can't comment on this product on my skin. I can say though, that the glitter can feel a little rough when wiping it off the skin so be careful when removing this especially around your eyes. Try not to use much pressure as this could cause your skin to become sore.
I didn't have any issues wearing this around my eyes and the glitter stayed on for many hours without moving.
Overall I am so happy with the fine glitter from House of Sparklez UK. The quality of the product is great and hasn't caused my any issues. I think the price is great especially if you are not sure about using cosmetic glitter as well as it being hypoallergenic. Below are some images showing the products in action.
Thanks for sticking with me. If you want to order anything from House of Sparklez UK (

All five glitters purchased.

First image shows Berry at the top and asteroid under it. Second image shows fuchsia at the top, bubblegum in the middle and fire opal at the bottom.
Video just to show the sparkle of these glitters. The colours are depicted truer in the images but Asteroid does contain a purple hue.
Sunset look created using Bubblegum, Fuchsia, Fire Opal and Asteroid. I didn't like how dark the asteroid was under my eye so managed to wipe some of it off and it looked much better. Still love the colour though.
Created another look using these glitters but a more normal look this time. Loving the fire opal glitter.
Another update guys: so I was wearing fuchsia around my eyes over easter and I did notice a slight staining to my skin after many hours of wear. It did fade by the next morning so nothing to worry about. Again this might just be down to the glue I'm using and this may not occur with the Glitter Fix made by House of Sparklez UK.
Last update on this now. So I promised to purchase the glitter fix and let you know what it's like which I have and here it is. It does smell of alcohol when you first open the pot but this goes as it dries. You can apply a thin layer and get a good result as it is very sticky. Provides a good base to get good coverage of the glitter and doesn't crease too much around the eyes. I found that it didn't irritate my eyes and it is very easy to remove.
