Hi everyone!
If you guys have been keeping up with my skin care posts, you know that I love Glossier and their products. Today I will be reviewing all the skin care/makeup products that I have used from them so far.
Glossier is a skin and makeup brand that started in 2014. They have a minimal aesthetic which also reflects on the packaging and ingredients in their products. They focus on makeup, fragrances, and skin care.
Milky Jelly Cleanser – 10/10
I have been using this cleanser for quite some time now – It was my first purchase from Glossier’s skin care line. Before I started using this, my skin was at its worst; dryness, acne all over my face. I was spiraling and trying out different brands – ranging from expensive to CVS products. When one of my friends recommended the Milky Jelly Cleanser from Glossier, I immediately went to go try it out. Within a week, my skin already started showing results. My skin was soft, moisturized, and the acne was slowly fading away. To be honest, I was so shocked. I wasted all this money on other products when I could’ve just started with Glossier in the first place!
I recommend the cleanser to people that deal with dry skin, and doesn’t mind scented cleansers. To me the scent isn’t as strong, but some of my friends didn’t like the smell. You could also use it as a makeup remover, but I prefer using 2 different cleansers to really remove dirt & makeup from my skin.
Solution – 10/10
My acne really started to disappear and was controlled once I started using this product. It is a daily exfoliator, where you can actually see the dirt from your face on the cotton ball. I use it every morning after the cleanser, and my pores feel refreshed and ready to start a new day. There are 3 acids used in this product: AHA, BHA, and PHA. I noticed my complexion started to look glowy and smoother.
I recommend this product to people that have sensitive, acne prone skin.
Priming Moisturizer – 2/10
I really wanted to like this product. But my skin just wasn’t agreeing to it. After 3 days, my skin started to break out bad. I felt like it wasn’t giving me enough moisture for my skin, and I would use a lot; morning and night. I’m not sure if the scent of the product bothered my skin, but it just wasn’t working out.
I recommend this product to people that have perfect skin! People with acne prone skin & combination skin should not use this product.
Boy Brow – 10/10
One of my favorite products from Glossier’s makeup line. I used to be that girl that would take at least 30 minutes to fill in her eyebrows. Well, once I started using the boy brow, my makeup routine got so much faster. I finally started embracing the “natural eyebrow” look. I started off using dark brown, but now I use clear for an extra natural look.
I recommend this product to everyone! Especially if you have thick, natural brows.
Bubblewrap – 2/10
This is one of those products that turned its back on me. I loved this product so much when I first got it – Used it everyday on my lips and under eyes which really helped my lips stay moisturized and under eyes look healthy. I continued using the product daily for about 5 months – and one day it failed me. I applied bubblewrap in the morning like always, and went on with my day. Towards the evening, my eyes started getting itchy. I thought it was allergies so I was trying not to scratch it as much. After an hour or so my under eyes became red. I was very confused to why this was happening, But I just washed my face and went to sleep thinking it might have been the makeup. The next day, I woke up and both of my eyes were swollen. I looked like I cried for a week straight, or even bees have stung my eyes. It was painful, and I looked terrible. I’m not sure if the product expired, but it just was not a fun experience for me. Glossier gave me a refund once I told them what the product did to me.
I recommend this product to everyone, but please be sure to test it on your eyes first – or to buy a new one every few months.
Balm DotCom – 10/10
I have tried the birthday cake, and mango from the Balm DotCom collection. I love and use this product for my lips and cuticles. The fact that it is a universal skin salve just makes this product so much better. It has 3 key ingredients: Castor oil, beeswax, and lanolin. My lips are always moisturized with this product, and the smell of each Balm DotCom is so soothing. Mango is definitely my favorite.
I recommend this product to everyone.
Cloud Paint – 8/10
I have been using this product for a few months now, and I like it a lot! The only concern I have is that it doesn’t blend well over concealer compared to bare skin. Also, the less you use the better. When I first started using cloud paint, I over used it and my makeup was a disaster. I have only used the color Beam – and it works perfectly well with my olive tone skin. This product gives off a natural blush look, which I like for my daily makeup routine.
I recommend this product to everyone.
Stretch Concealer – 1/10
This product did not sit very well with me. You have to put a lot of the product on your skin in order to get medium coverage, yet it still didn’t do the job well. It made my skin break out and also felt like it was drying my face out.
I do not recommend this product if you have combination and acne prone skin.
Lash Stick – 6/10
The main reason why I like this product is because it is waterproof. The things I don’t really like is the fact that you can’t apply it too many times or else it will start to clump and make your lashes look heavy. The lash stick has a natural look to it which I like since I have long and thick lashes.
I recommend to people that like the natural eyelash look, but to people who want long and dramatic, stick with Benefit or Tarte.
I hope you guys enjoyed my reviews and will give these products a try! I promise you won’t regret (for the ones I gave 10/10 at least).
Thank you for reading guys!
