5 Glossier Products Worth The Hype

When I placed my first order with Glossier, I could not contain my excitement. I'd bit the bullet and give in to all the hype and amazing reviews about the cult skincare brand. But the more I read and watched about the brand I wondered... is it overhyped? The packaging and cool girl aesthetic had well and truly lured me in. But it's safe to say Glossier really has some real finds, and if you're 
looking for something differnet with a unique finish and style, Glossier is for you. I've chose the 5 Glossier products that I can't live without and I think are worth the hype

GLOSSIER PRIMING MOISTURIZER 
The Priming Moisturiser was the product I was most sceptical about. The lightweight moisturiser has a thin liquid texture and I feared it wouldn't hydrate my flaky dry skin. But to my surprise it has become a staple in my morning skincare regime. As it's so lightweight, it doesn't feel heavy or thick under my skin. The moisturiser is perfect for applying under makeup and leaves my skin glowing and feeling super smooth. So this was a big thumbs up to me, defiantly worth the hype!
GLOSSIER PERFECTING SKIN TINT 
Now... I love my sheer foundations, but the thought of a skin tint petrified me, walking around with my naked face on show with zero coverage, sent shivers down my spine. But this was another product that shocked me, the glowy, sheer base looked so natural and 'your skin but better' (cliche I know) and surprisingly stayed on all day! On the days when I want a fuller look, I just use a heavier concealer and blend it all in. Another big thumbs up!

GLOSSIER STRETCH CONCELAER 
This became my favourite concealer for everywhere, under my eyes, on my acne scars, it worked miracles (I thought about writing my essays in it to see if it would perform miracles there!) The concealer is completely build able, but never appears thick or cakey. It also has a brightening effect which looks so beautiful under the eyes. If your skin is really dry then this is perfect, the concealer has a wet feel to it, so it doesn't stick or cling to dry patches and just looks like skin!

GLOSSIER GENERATION G LIPSTICK (LIKE)
Finding lipsticks that suits my pale skin is like a challenge in the crystal maze. They're either too dark, too bright, too pink and I just lost all hope. I ordered this as an impulse buy and never looked back. The colour is a soft, muted, pink and has a sheer application. It adapts perfectly to my lip colour and looks like I have the most hydrated, plump lips. This is my go to everyday colour. I can throw it in my bag and apply it effortlessly even without a mirror!


GLOSSIER HALOSCOPE (QUARTZ)
Last but not least is the Haloscope, AKA a halo in a tube. This stuff has been crafted by the Gods! The subtle glow is great for someone who just wants to have that natural radiance without looking like you've got any makeup on. The shade Quartz has a golden sun kissed appearance to it, that just makes me feel like I'm in the sun even when it's raining. I find it best to use my finger and tap the product onto my cheekbones, as this method doesn't take the rest of your base makeup away.

Bioderma Sensibio Range Review - PR

  If you've been around for a long time you'll know Bioderma is one of my favourite skincare brands and they were kind enough to send me their Sensibio range to try out.  The Bioderma Sensibio Micellar water needs no introduction. It's a staple in so many makeup artists routines and it's easy to see why. I've gone through so many of these micellar waters and nothing quite compares for me. This is the foundation of my morning skincare and is just enough cleansing without stripping my face. It's such a beautiful formula that leaves my skin looking super refreshed.  I also received a few goodies I haven't tried before including the Sensibio eye contour gel . This really surprised me as I usually steer towards creams when it comes to eye cream, but I was super impressed with the gel. It feels more like a creamy gel and glides beautifully under the eyes and makes the perfect base for concealer. I've actually been using this in the morning as I find the gel i...

Fenty Beauty Sun Stalk'r Bronzer - Pale Skin Review

I had been dying to purchase one of these bronzers since they came out and after months of resisting finally caved in! There are 8 shades which is great as there is a large range to choose from, depending on how you like your bronzer. Naturally I am quite pale and for reference I am the shade 120 in the Fenty Foundation and 150 Buff in Revlon's colour stay foundation, and even in summer, I never really change that much from these shades. From being so pale, the fear of the bronzer is real, I haven't found any that look natural and don't leave me looking orange, muddy, or like i have a some kind of smudge on my face. So I decided to try the lightest bronzer Fenty Beauty had to offer, Inda Sun. From swatching the shade appears pretty neutral and light, it doesn't have a red undertone that can leave pale skin looking orange. I also love the gold packaging and how luxury and sleek it feels. I used the same brush I would normally use for bronzer which is my real tech...

How To Streamline Your Skincare Routine

 Lately I have been feeling so overwhelmed with makeup, skincare and brushes and decided to take it back to basics. Having a simple skincare routine is great for your skin, cost effective and stops me changing my routine every day! I decided to make a routine and stick to it.. mainly in an attempt to stop my acne! 1. Cleanser  A cleanser is a must! Ensuring all that makeup and grime is off your face is one of the most important steps. I love this Pai, Camellia and Rose Cleanser , but it is a littttlleee expensive, another great alternative is the Nivea Daily Basics Face Wash.  If I want to make my cleanser last longer ( especially the ones that make my eyes water looking at the price ), I will just use micellar water, like the Bioderma one and a cotton pad in the morning and save my cleanser for night, but one cleanser will do the trick! 2. A Toner  Without a toner my skin feels tight and dry. The Liz Earle Skin Tonic, has been a favourite for years, it sm...
