Cheryl, Most of my glitter came from Michael's and AC Moore. I did get some from the Chicago show, but not sure what booths they were! Diana, do you remember? It is cheaper to get it from the craft stores. Buenos dias, Lynnette Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile

But most of my glitters came in a jar with a sprinkle top on them, which makes it so much easier to apply where I want it, esp when doing a fade. I don't have big globs of glitter coming out at once. I still get mess from excess but I apply over a sheet of paper and pour it back into the container.
