    Wanna know the absolute best thing about weekend trips to Vegas?

    GLITTER!

    Not the Maraih Carey debacle of a movie, but the shimmering glitter that is everywhere.  Everything has a gold sheen to it. Its okay to wear sequenced cocktail dresses, costume jewelry, cocktail rings, drink vodka gimlets, use full bottles of Aquanet and put glitter all over one’s body!  It is completely appropriate and expected of all Vegas visiting ladies.

    And I get to do it completely unapologetically.

    But I do know I’m too old now for the big clunky glitter from the mall stores where I had my ears pierced.  I may be heading out for a hot Vegas night, but this girl’s gotta stay classy.  I use the very girly, very fun Benefit Cosmetics Kitten Classic Pink Champagne Shimmering Powder.

    As I’m getting dressed in the hotel room, I can remember Kendall, dressed in her slinky black dress pulling out her puff and she going at it.  Glitter on her neck, shoulders, legs, arms, and cleavage – all getting kissed with a golden champagne finish and soft floral scent.

    I’m jealous.

    So after promptly stealing her puff, I’m shimmery too! The shimmer goes on evenly, never clumps, doesn’t get sticky and it looks fabulous.  The puff works just like the ones from those 50’s cover model photos and I feel like a real woman as the soft puff glides over my skin.

    Now, with shimmers that match our champagne glasses, Kendall and I hit the strip, looking for high rollers, all night parties and gratuitous limo rides. And since I can’t legally divulge any information or details of what happened in Vegas, I can assure you that we had quite an amazing adventure.

    The Breakdown:

    • $26.00 per puff
    • Same artistic, girly packaging we all love from Benefit

    Tips:

    • To be a little extra coy, puff a little shimmer into your hair, not only will it help keep your hair from getting oily during the night, but it will also glint off the sun as it rises in the morning and you’re still out partying.
