It’s finally the day I get to do a lovely Glossier Haul and believe me I have been counting down the days that Glossier comes to the UK! Glossier is a brand I knew a lot about and I’d already had a pretty large wish list before there was the hint of them coming to the UK! I ordered a few things not everything sadly now I'm a student I have to prioritise being able to eat and live, I know it’s very boring and responsible of me! So I’m going to get straight to the part you all want which is the lovely products themselves, the first thing I clicked on was the Phase 1 set, which includes the Milky Jelly Cleanser, Priming Moisturiser and the Balm Dotcom which of course I had to get in the Birthday Cake scent. It’s hard not to love Glossier products and resist the Glossier hype before you’ve actually tried the products, I mean people have you seen the packaging! The cardboard alone had me hooked with it’s cute pink inside presenting the ever so coveted pink bubble pouches and of course the stickers, how can you not love a brand that gives you free stickers?! The first product I reached for was the cute glittery Balm Dotcom which only makes you crave cake, I had high expectations for this but wasn't so sure how well this would work with my lovely chapped dry lips. I can honestly say this does work, I know it’s a universal balm but I do use this just for my lips. It’s great on its own but even better when I pair it with my Nuxe lip balm which my lips will always need because of how dry and chapped they get but the Balm Dotcom is the product that I use throughout the day which keeps my lips smooth and it’s not too thick and sticky so it doesn’t look greasy on my lips. I like using this on its own with no lipstick because of the glitter in the Birthday Cake scent it almost works like a lip gloss so it’s great for days when my makeup is more natural and its cold and I have no effort to even think of lipstick.
The next product I was excited for was the Milky Jelly Cleanser, I’m currently trying out a few cleansers and have really made an effort with my skincare routine so for a better review I will keep you posted on how well this works. First reviews though is that it does work well to get your makeup off but I do use makeup wipes first because of my eyeliner, I mean nothings getting that off! It’s definitely not harsh on my skin and there’s not much of a scent to it and I love how clean and fresh it leaves my skin. The last product in this set is the Priming Moisturiser which is definitely more of a primer and not a heavy moisturiser at all so if that’s what your looking for you should look more towards the Rich Moisturiser. I do like this though as a primer and use it on days where I don't need a heavy moisturiser and it tends to make my skin look dewy and fresh which is what of their products do. Like I mentioned the Rich Moisturiser is definitely much more hydrating, the clue is in the name. I love the packaging off this and it makes it feel a lot more high end, it is one of their more pricier products at £29 but honestly worth the price tag! I don’t need to use a lot when I put this on my face and a little goes a long way with this product.
I have recently been getting more into face masks and have been making the effort to use them more often and honestly with some masks I can’t really tell if their working or even make a difference in my skincare so I did want to try at least one of their masks. But me being me I convinced myself I desperately needed the both of them so the Mask Duo is the next product I’m going to babble on about. Again with the packaging goals, I mean you have to get the both of them it would be unfair to split them apart. I tend to use them both together so use the Mega Green Galaxy pack first as it’s a detox mask and can definitely see a difference when I wash it off. A lot of masks can dry my skin out so the Moisturising Moon Mask is great to use straight after, it rehydrates my skin and leaves it feeling moisturised that I don't tend to use a moisturiser after. A lot of bloggers have also recommended using them both as a duo so I would recommend buying the duo rather than the masks individually.
The last product had to be one of their makeup products and although everyone hypes about the Boy Brow I don’t think this is a product that I would love as my eyebrows aren’t that thick so I’m going to stick to my trustee Soap and Glory Archery pencil. However their Cloud Paint cream blushes did speak out to me, it was hard to resist buying more than one but sensible me kicked in at this point. I picked up the shade Dusk as I don’t really wear cream blushes so I didn’t want to overwhelm my cheeks with the brightest shade there is. This is such a lovely shade and perfect for my skin tone and again great for more natural makeup days because of the dewy look it gives your cheeks. I already want to pick up the rest of the shades!
Next up on my wish list is the Face Serum Super Pack, Haloscope in the shade Quartz, Cloud Paint in the shade Puff, Stretch Concealer and Perfecting Skin Tint so pretty much everything. Of course a trip to their New York showroom is on the list but thats more of a long-term target!
I hope this was helpful and urged you to get you Glossier orders in, do look on their instagram and a couple of their ‘reps’ lets call them, as if you shop with them you get 20% off your order and free shipping over £25 is definitely a reachable target. I’ll leave the instagram links below.
