O.K., I am probably waaaaay too old for glittery eye shadow, but I love it anyway. I discovered the NYX Cosmetics brand at Urban Outfitters some time back and I have been hooked ever since!
Their prices are absolutely incredible and their products are so much fun! This fabulous eye shadow kit filled with five glittered shadows was only $5.50 and just perfect for the holidays!
Now, I probably won't be wearing them to shop at Target anytime soon, but I am thinking that date night with the husband is a very real possibility...

Oh, STOP, No, Don't say you are too "old" for it, Jessica! First, I seriously Doubt that's true! And, okay, I get it: not Everyone wants to cultivate the look *I* have (which I call: "Eccentric Old Lady". As "Eccentric Old Lady" I wear Glittery eye shadow to just about Every Place - including Target! ESPECIALLY Target! Oh, the Joys of non-conformity! (AND the Slings'nArrows)! So I Do understand not wishing to look a bit foolish or age-inappropriate. On the other hand - why should the kids have all the fun while we ladies slowly slip into a respectful sort of decrepitude??? No, I say! And I Mean this. Fight the Night, as Dylan Thomas advised, but with Glittery eye shadow! Oh heck, who's it hurting???? I think it's best to do things Now, instead of waiting later to regret Not doing them. I'm sure that eye shadow will look Glorious on you, My Dear! Some well intentioned words for just having Fun w/All Forms of Glitter! Just as I have FUN looking at your Beautiful Blog posts!!! Thank you! Eye Candy is not just Eye Shadow - it's Beautiful Blogs like yours! I'm Addicted to them!

Nah, you're never too old to "sparkle" during the holidays!: )
I see some layering possibilities in that palette... such as a bit of gold over the pink. You can't go wrong for $5.50! xoxo

I bought some of these for Halloween. It's actually kind of greasy and clumped into my eyelid, I had to use a powdery base but it still ended up clumping all up. It's a "cream" shadow :(
