can we please bring body glitter back in 2017. we already have enough to deal with in 2016 but 2017 is the year we need to fully commit ourselves to glitter and all things that sparkle. who is with me.

i hope you all realize that reblogging this is a binding spiritual contract and i expect follow through

You can make your own body glitter incredibly easily.  You’ll need:

  • Pure aloe vera gel. I get a big ol tub off of ebay for like a fiver, keeps me going for a nice long time.
  • Some small clean jars to put yer goop in. I get a big batch of clear screwtop plastic storage jars off ebay for a quid and make glitter gel gifts for friends. Keeping the goop size small means you use it up fast before it dries out.
  • An assload of glitter. Again, ebay has this in many different sizes and colours, which is what you want.  I also get mine from facepaint-uk.com, which is my favourite shop in the world probably. make sure to get a variety of sizes, colours, and shapes: that looks best tbh. If you can get it in ziplock baggies as opposed to like jars and shit then it saves you money on pointless packaging because who cares

HOW:

  1. Take jar. Shoof a buncha glitter in the jar. Not enough to fill it, fill it like a quarter of the way with a mix of glitters.  I usually fill it a third of the way because I like my glitter gel to be excruciatingly glittery
  2. Squirt some aloe gel on top to fill the jar half way. Stir carefully until a gritty paste is formed. nice
  3. Add a bit more aloe and stir again. Keep adding gel a bit at a time until a smooth glitter gel is formed.
  4. Put the lid on and marvel at your creation! Well done. Now wear it all the time. I wear mine to work habitually. It might dry out if you don’t screw the lid on well – but it can be rehydrated with a few drops of water and a good mix. I tend to tear through mine pretty fast though.

Let the contract be bled on and wrought.

For those of you who want to make your own glitter gel, this is a very good tutorial.

(Listen closely: you can hear @peteventers muttering “nooooo not glitter.”)
