GLITTER LOVE- FBC GLITTER PALETTE REVIEW AND SWATCHES
Hi Beauties,
Glitter, glitter and more glitter now I’m sure I’m not the only one with
a glitter obsession so I’m excited for this review and I’m sure you are too. I
love how glitter has the ability to turn any makeup to something extra special
and add a little umph!! No wonder there is a whole range of glitter selection
now, from loose glitter to pressed glitter even liquid glitter like the stilla
ones. The FBC glitter palette is from a Nigerian owned makeup brand based in
Ibadan called FBC beauty, they have other products under their belt like their
newly released brow definer, brow gel and eyeliners and although I don’t have
any information on the brand owner it’s always a pleasure to support our own. Now
with any further ado I’m going to be breaking it down for you, so sit down and
enjoy.
PACKAGING
The FBC palette packaging is very basic, there is no name branded to
the palette and it just comes in a carton like box with the brand name there,
other than that there isn’t any other branding. There are no names assigned to
the individual shades of glitter. I did however see recently from the company’s
instagram page that they have now named their glitter shades with individual
names. The palette comes in a black rectangle box with slot for 12 shades of
glitter and a mirror. Overall not impressed about the packaging, there’s no
form of branding whatsoever. The plastic box it comes in is quite sturdy and it doesn't feel light like its made from cheap plastic you know like the plastic hand fan type.
PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
So there wasn’t any product description on the palette but from their
instagram post, the company claims that their glitters are 3D glitters that
don’t need any application of glitter adhesive for the glitters to be worn and
when applied there are no fall outs.
My opinion however doesn’t much differ from what they claim except in
one regard and I will get to that soon. The glitters are true to be 3D glitters
and all that simply means is that apart from their primary colour they give out
secondary colours when light hit them from various angles. So for instance, they
have gold and silver reflects in them so they don’t just give out one colour.

APPLICATION
The glitter particles are small and they apply smoothly. Now to their
claim of wearing them without glitter adhesive I am not entirely sure. I did
swatch them on my hands using my fingers and they applied well without any
glitter adhesive, now I’m sure we all know that depending on the look you are
creating is what determines the amount of glitter you use. In my opinion however
if you are just going for a touch of glitter then you can go ahead without a
glitter adhesive, but I if u are going for full on glitter it is advisable to
use some glitter adhesive. I used the glitter palette without any glitter
adhesive and there were little fallout but it was barely noticeable BUT here
is why I advise using a glitter adhesive, I found out then when I applied the
glitter with some glitter glue it made application much easier, without the
glitter glue most of the glitter just stuck to the brush but with a glitter
glue there wasn’t any of that, I just applied in patting motion on the lids and
it transferred much easier. Now it applied better because with the glitter adhesive
there was extra liquid which made placing of the glitters easier. Finally they were not wrong to say it can be worn without glitter adhesive, but personally I
would be using glitter adhesive for this one.
PRICE
For pricing, I am very pleased with the price for this palette. I
bought my palette during their Easter sale for N6400 with shipping N1000
bringing it at a total of N7400, but originally it goes for N8000. So for 12
shades of glitter you get each individual shade going for approximately N670.
For the quality of the palette I think that’s decent and that’s another reason
to enjoy buying Nigerian, no more cut throat prices just because u want to wear
glitter isn’t that amazing.
OVERALL
VERDICT
I say verdict because it has been tried and tested. This palette has
my overall approval, the colours are beautiful, the quality also is very good
and it can be worn without a primer (even if I won’t wear it without a primer
though, just my preference), the price is affordable. The palette has my all
round approval and I would definitely recommend it for glitter lovers like
myself. I would rate it an 9/10; the deducted point is because I didn’t like
the packaging.
MY EXPERIENCE
WITH THE BRAND
Now I’ve decided to add this bit because I feel it’s important to
recognize good customer service. In Nigerian I can say some though not all lack
this very vital trait for their business and especially since I ordered this
product via instagram I feel it’s important to know what to expect if you do
decide to buy this product because even though there are legit businesses there
are also fake ones. Now like I said I ordered this during the Easter holiday
via instagram DM and I was attended to promptly and very polite, I did want my
package shipped using GIG Logistics and I was told whatever the delivery price
set by GIG Logistics is what I would have to pay for delivery. The company did
have a N1000 standard charge using buses because it ships from Ibadan, but I
wanted tracking information plus I wanted something that would be close to my
house. The package didn’t however ship till a week and a half after cause she
told me she was busy the Tuesday after Easter and won’t be able to ship it
immediately; she did however offer to refund my money if I couldn’t wait. I
decided to wait and it was shipped the next week. In all I had a good
experience with the brand, I would definitely order from them again
That’s
my review on this beautiful glitter palette. I would like to know what your
favorite color is. And have you tried the FBC
glitter palette or any of their products, what did you think of them????
