Glossier Game Changers!

Hey lovelies,

So as we all know Glossier has recently launched in the UK, after being popular in the USA for multiple years. There has been hype all over the place about it so I thought I too would add to the mix of Glossier posts.

I purchased the items before Christmas 2017 and I have been using them ever since, to get a real feel for them and see how they work for my combination and often problematic skin. As the title says 'game changers' I really do believe they are.

The Glossier website was a little daunting to me at first, I had seen some recommendations from fellow bloggers and youtubers and decided to add them to my basket ASAP. I purchased the Phase 2 set that included the Boy Brow, Generation G Lipstick and the Stretch Concealer. This was a set of all the items I fancied trying from them, however saving £8 as not buying them individually - so definitely check out the other sets for bargains.

My Glossier order came super quick and I was over the moon with the packaging and whole appearance of the post, Im a sucker for advertising and pastel pink is such my colour. The box included the standard Glossier bubble wrap, stickers and my items.

Stretch Concealer

As I would call it 'the perfect concealer' for everyday, not too little and definitely not too much. The perfect balance. I layer this over my foundation (Kat Von D lock it) for my under eyes and any spots or redness that may still appear through the foundation, stretch concealer keeps my spots none noticeable. The tub aspect is also a winner in my eyes, I love to feel products and warm them up with my fingers before application - I apply this with my ring finger only. I purchased the lightest shade and it is perfect for my very fair skin. Makeup that lets skin look like skin indeed.


Boy Brow

Of course I had to purchase the internets beloved boy brow, all the hype I just had to. I decided to go for the shade brown to help fill in my eyebrows a little more even after my pomade. On a daily basis I use my ABH Pomade or my Ted Baker eyebrow pencil to fill in my brows then to set them evenly, boy brow does the job like no other. I also want to try the clear shade next time to compare. It saves your eyebrows smudging throughout the day and keeps them safely in place, so no need to worry.


Generation G Lipstick

As it was before Christmas I decided to go for the 'Jam' shade, a beautiful dark plum/red berry which suits every skin tone. I didn't want to pick up my generic my lips but better colour, I must've been feeling daring! This lipstick is very sheer yet matte when applied, yet I find it very moisturising. This lipstick is a good all rounder and perfect for those chilly days when a berry lip and a turtle neck jumper are needed! However the only downside to this lippy is that it really doesn't last very long at all, don't drink or eat wearing it though and you'll be fine!

Overall I am really impressed by Glossier products and if I were to recommend you buy just one product I've mentioned it would have to be the Stretch Concealer, life changing! Please comment below if you've tried any Glossier products that I haven't, I would love to buy more a perhaps do a haul! Or tweet me, all my social media links are in the sidebar.
