I want to buy a lot of ultrafine polyester glitter from artglitter.com. Specifically, to fulfill my very OCD/collector-ish nature, I want to buy 1/4 oz. samples of every single ultrafine color in their list. The color chart is here:
Art Institute Glitter is a favorite choice for scrappers, stampers, quilters, crafters and artists
I would be using them cosmetically at my own risk, of course, but they are listed as skin-safe at least (though I'm sure glitter is never truly eye-safe). I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this site, or craft glitter in general. I have glitter from MAC but it is so darn expensive and comes in huge containers. I hate buying samples because they feel too "messed-with." I've looked at various sites like Aromaleigh and Coastal Scents but their selection is way too limited for me.
Is there a specific reason I should avoid polyester glitter? I'm not sure if all MAC glitter is natural mica-based or what. I'm just looking to see if I'm going to totally wreck my eyeballs with this stuff or if I stand an o.k. chance of surviving.
