I hate glitter and agree with the statement that glitter is the herpes of the crafting world; once you use it you can never get rid of it. When crafting I try to avoid using glitter at all cost.
But it isn't only the crafting world where you come across glitter. In just over three weeks I'm going on vacation and our cottage has a bath. I plan to get a couple of bath bombs, from Lush, to enjoy the bath (we don't have one at home). I spend a long time on their website yesterday figuring out which bath bombs has glitter and which doesn't. Because personally I don't find it relaxing if, after taking a nice bath, I have to get in the shower to rinse off the glitter (at least Lush uses environmentally friendly glitter), scrub my private parts (the glitter always sticks to those body parts) and having to deep clean the bathroom to prevent glitter from spreading and you the towel you used can't be used again until after it has been washed.
I just wish Lush, and other such companies, would label their products clearly when it contains glitter. Not everybody wants to go about life leaving glitter everywhere.
