The Story of Après Sparkles: From Montana Roots to Glitter Dreams

I grew up in Montana, surrounded by rugged beauty and small-town charm. I learned the magic of adding a little spunk to the ordinary early on. Whether it was throwing on a bold accessory, chasing wild ideas, or simply refusing to dim my personality, sparkle has always been part of who I am.

But if you had told my younger self that one day I'd be running my own face and body glitter company? I'm not sure I would have believed you. Yet here we are—and Après Sparkles is the most authentic expression of me I've ever created.

Finding My Spark

Growing up, I was always game for anything. I loved creating moments—whether it was decorating for a party, helping my friends step out of their comfort zones, or throwing on a slight extra shimmer "just because." I believed in fun for the sake of fun. I believed in living life like you mean it

As I got older, I realized that people crave bold, carefree expression but sometimes lose it. We get caught up in routines, responsibilities, and expectations. And honestly, I missed that feeling, too. So, I decided to do something about it.

Why Après Sparkles?

Après Sparkles was born from the idea that life is worth celebrating— whether you're on the dance floor, at a festival, on a mountain après-ski, or just running errands on a Tuesday. I wanted to create a product that invites people to shine, literally and figuratively.

A big part of our future at Après Sparkles is our commitment to sustainability. We're moving towards more eco-friendly solutions, from our ingredients to our packaging and production practices. We're always looking for ways to minimize our impact and make sustainability a core part of how we shine. This commitment is not just a part of our brand, but a promise to our customers that they can sparkle with us, knowing they're making a responsible choice.

I wanted Après Sparkles to be more than just glitter. I wanted to remind you that you can always add extra joy, unexpected fun, and a little boldness to your day.

Plus, coming from Montana, I care deeply about doing things responsibly. So, from day one, our mission has been to ensure that our products are skin-safe and high-quality.

Where We're Headed

This is just the beginning. My dream for Après Sparkles is to see it become a whole lifestyle brand that inspires people to live more colorfully, authentically, and unapologetically. We are at the center of events, festivals, pop-ups, and collaborations with other creatives who share our vision of making the world a little more fun. I invite you to join us on this journey, as we continue to grow and inspire a more vibrant, expressive world.

More than anything, I hope Après Sparkles encourages people to remember that life isn't meant to be dimmed down. You deserve to take up space, to stand out, and to shine in your own unique way.

Thanks for sharing this journey with me. I can't wait to see how bright we can make the world together.

Stay sparkly,

Audrey Warren - Founder of Après Sparkles ✨
