![]() ![]() This experience put me off brow products a bit - but Boy Brow has reignited the flame. I had actually used an Etude House product just like this back in Korea - the Colour My Browspomade - but it was way more intense and did nothing for me (as in, it wasn’t flattering it actually did way too much in terms of product and pigmentation). It’s a teensy tiny cutie of a product - a small bottle with an even smaller wand, designed to comb and groom your brows to perfection. Once I’d picked up the starter pack, I figured: why stop there? I had heard a LOT about their #1 bestselling Boy Brow pomade, and being someone who woefully neglects their eyebrows in the name of the au natural look, I decided to give it a whirl, in the shade Blonde (to lessen the chances of “angry brow symptom”). I’m keen to try more of the flavours/scents - particularly the Coconut Balm Dot Com (which I may or may not have just ordered last night. Actually, this particular balm also reminds me of the Nuxe Reve de Miel (similar here), in terms of the thick texture and slight grittiness. It’s also quite a dense formula - reminds me of Lucas’ Papaw Treament in a way, particularly when it’s cold (because the texture changes a lot depending on the weather). But it’s so pretty! And it smells like vanilla cupcakes. I decided to pick the Birthday Balm flavour (there’s 6 to choose from), which happens to have a little bit’o glitter in it - perhaps not best for rubbing on dry elbows. Soooo, my tomato face reaction was not out of the blue! To be honest, I haven’t really used it since.Ī fail-safe bet is the Balm Dot Com - how could you go wrong with a lip balm? And this isn’t just a lip balm: it’s touted as an all-over balm, designed to remedy any dry skin on yo boday. She actually flagged that it was pretty dangerous for this not to be outwardly mentioned, because using Retinol in the sun can damage your skin pretty badly too. THEN I used the Priming Moisturiser, which literally gave my skin a red-red-red reaction.Īfter watching Ingrid Nilsen’s Glossier video (which I probs should have done before ordering), she mentioned that the Priming Moisturiser has Retinol in it, which is known for irritating skin and causing sensitivity. True, I kept it on for probably way longer than is intended (this is what happens when you blast music in the shower), and I did feel it irritate my skin a bit. But the first time I used it, my skin wasn’t so keen. I love the packaging: this squishy, soft plastic and super minimalist labels. This Milky Jelly Cleanser has been all over the internet… and at first, I didn’t get it. I decided to get one of their starter packs, containing the Milky Jelly Cleanser, the Priming Moisturiser, and the Birthday Balm Dot Com. It started off small (as it always does) - and it kind of snowballed real fast. … which is obviously why I am now IN LOVE with Glossier. Instead, Glossier’s ethos is that you’re already enough - and here’s some light tweaking you can do to feel good if you so choose. ![]() Instead, Glossier flies in the face of the traditional beauty industry, and pretty much sticks it to all those ads that have told women they weren’t good enough without painting slap on their face. This is the perfect juxtaposition to my previous post on Fenty Beauty’s Holiday Collection, wherein glitter was the key to everything. To be straight up with you (as the kids say), Glossier is the kind of brand that’s perfect if you don’t want to wear too much makeup. I mean, these people were flying to NYC ostensibly to stock up on these cult products (and probably also to munch down some juicy, delectable Levain cookies). Even on the British Youtubers’ vids - whom I obviously prefer to the US ones - when it wasn’t available in the UK, either. Hey presto!Īs an avid Youtube watcher (that sort of crept up on me, but when I stop and think about my phone usage, it’s hella true), I kept hearing Glossier’s name being thrown about every which way. And I will get my greedy little paws on it by any means possible… namely, by using a standard US forwarding address service. Even for someone a bit ~out of touch~ as myself, Glossier has the sort of reach that I will find out about it, and I will hunt it down, even when it’s unavailable in my home country. If not… I don’t really know what to do with you, honestly. You’ve probably heard of Glossier by now.
