I never use pigments nor loose glitter of any kind, so I thought this would be a good starter set for me, since it can be used on face and eyes.

Here’s the brand’s description: Anastasia Beverly Hills Holiday Loose Glitter Kit is a limited-edition set containing 5 all-new, holiday-themed, full-size shades of Loose Glitter plus a Mini Glitter Adhesive. Each winter-white shade has a unique, multidimensional colored reflect—all guaranteed to light up your holiday spirit! Plus, you’ll love the custom packaging that’s decked in a pattern of sparkly snowflakes and white cap, making it easy to spot your holiday shades in your makeup kit or bag.

Shades included:

Snowfall (White with an ultraviolet reflect)
Glisten (White with an iridescent rainbow reflect)
Frosted (White with an icy-blue reflect)
Mistletoe (White with a blue-green shift)
Jolly (White with a sunset orange-golden shift)

Loose Glitter:

Ultra-reflective loose metallic glitter with sparkling holiday themes
High-level sparkle for face, body and hair
Light-reflecting loose glitter with a multidimensional effect for versatile makeup looks
Lightweight fine particles
Buildable intensity
Custom packaging features a festive snowflake pattern and frosted white cap
Includes a tight-closing flip-top to help prevent spillage and keep product fresh
Custom sifter helps you dispense just the right amount of product

Glitter Adhesive:

Water-based glitter glue that keeps loose makeup adhered to skin
Includes a brush applicator for precise application and even placement
Colorless, lightweight formula with comfortable wearability
Prevents fallout of loose makeup
Can be used on the face and body

How to Apply:

Apply Loose Glitter using Mini Glitter Adhesive. Using Mini Glitter Adhesive’s brush applicator, apply a sheer layer directly onto the skin. Then, load a flat synthetic makeup brush with Loose Glitter and quickly press the glitter onto your adhesive application.
Or, disperse small amounts of the loose glitter and the adhesive onto a metal mixing plate or on the back of your hand. Dip your synthetic makeup brush into the adhesive and then into the glitter, creating a paste-like texture. Then, press the glitter directly onto your desired area of application

Pro tips

Layer the glitter on top of your cheek highlighter for added dimension
To create a more intense, all-over body shimmer, mix Loose Glitter with Liquid Glow, then apply.
To create a sheer body shimmer, mix Loose Glitter with Hydrating Oil, then apply.
Be sure to tightly close the cap after use to avoid spillage.

I tried to take the photos in the sun so you can see how they reflect with the light. They’re not entirely good, so apologies for that. Also note that the glitter adhesive has a yellowish base, so that also distorted the real color of the pigments.
