one of the gifts i received this year for the holidays is a little kit from Lush... inside was a bath bomb and a "glitter bar". i've used glitter soaps before, but not any from Lush, so i was psyched to take my shower today and give it a try. i ran the little bar between my hands, and it didn't lather... but i didn't think anything of it because their products are natural-y and handmade. so i just scrubbed the bar into my skin all over. when i went to rinse off, the glitter wasn't rinsing, which was unusual. hrm.
turns out the "glitter bar" isn't soap... it's a bar of glitter that you warm in your hands and spread a teeny bit on your skin when you're going out. since i rubbed it all over me, and it's basically made of a dry oil, i am CAKED in fine glitter dust that i think will be permanently attached. i look like someone's acid trip. hee! i love it so much... if only the shimmer showed up in photos so i could share.
since i can't share any glitter photos, here's one of angus instead:

My boss actually ordered some for me for Xmas and I got the same glittery bar:)
