BODY GLITTER WAS a massive trend in the late nineties and early noughties.
Every teen or tween in Ireland was doused in the stuff. It was a glorious time.
1. Remember how it felt?
It was kinda watery, but also kinda jelly-like. It left a weird sensation on your fingers but you were perfectly OK with smearing it on your skin.
2. The smell is something you’ll never forget
Imagine someone melted down those plastic sleeves you put sheets of paper into, now mix it with some indistinct cleaning product, and you’ve got the scent.
3. You knew exactly where to apply it
Your temples, your chest, a dab on the cheek, a bit on your arms, and then just spread it EVERYWHERE.
God forbid you’d get a bit in your eye though. Pain town.
4. After some considerable sweating at the school disco, it would all gather into one shiny mess
5. There were SO many different colours, but they all went on transparent
Disappointing.
6. These stars were must haves
More stars we say, more!
Wow, you were cool.
7. It matched your glittery hair mascara
Perfectly.
8. Only the absolute coolest had roll ons
