Before there was Aromaleigh, there was Girlactik.
Glitters
I’m not sure that is strictly true, but it was true for me. I found Girlactik and fell in love with some of the products before I ever knew an Internet search would likely find me more companies than I could possibly sample. I tried one glitter, then I ended up, as usual, buying several. If one is great, would 4 or 5 be better?
I’ve used the Lavender in one look here. It’s a gorgeous bright but deep lavender.
I have colors that are similar to AL’s prettyplease rocks! glam glitter, but enough different to justify having both.
Because I like the Girlactik so well and because the glitters were around the caps, I transferred them all to ziplocks, the way AL’s come as samples. That way I don’t lose a single piece of glitter.
The colors I have (I love all that I have): White Gold; Lavender; Multi-Jewels; Champagne. I thought I also had Multi-Bronze, but I don’t see it in my stash. It might still be in a container.
Pearl Base (a soft pink with glimmer) is used under light ones:
There is a savings if you buy the products together. This is White Gold:
They do have a darker base for darker colors.
I find applying the glitter over eye pencil works just as well.
Star Shadow
This has an Allure Choice Award.
Girlactik Beauty Star Shadow
Edit: I didn’t realize they could be applied wet or dry. I’ve only tried dry.
One of the nicest compliments I’ve received was from a young girl working in the shop where I bought it. She thought it was terrific that I was wearing the glitter — it looks great! I knew I’d love it. She said most women who weren’t her age wouldn’t even look at it.
Have you tried any girlactik glitters or other products? What is your fave?

Hmmm, yeah, I don’t buy from companies that aren’t upfront about their ingredients. The fact that I’ve spent 15 minutes coaxing Google and I can’t find an ingredients list for ANY Girlactik product is not good.
But I’ll bet you the first ingredient of the eyeshadows, and possibly the face powders as well, is talc, which has been linked to cancer, and the gel and liquid products contain petroleum/mineral oil, which I am allergic to.
But that’s okay, Girlactik isn’t bright or unique enough for my tastes, anyhow. Not by their product photos, and, unfortunately, not by your FOTD.
It’s hard to see how pretty the color is when I used it only to dry line with and my camera isn’t the best. But it is very pretty.
A lot of things bother me, especially if the glitter has sharp edges. This does not.
There are not nearly as many choices as there are for AL, but I do like what I have.
Interestingly MUA gives them a 4.2 out of 5, mentions that they are cut round and have no fillers.
