After spending way too much money during November
and December I promised myself that starting January I wouldn’t buy anything
that wasn’t necessary. I was doing quite well actually, that is, until Glossier
launched their solution exfoliating skin perfector. I immediately wanted to try
it out, and making an online order with only one product in my cart felt silly
so I added more Glossier products that I really didn’t need. So here it is,
another Glossier haul. Enjoy!
Glossier Solution exfoliating
skin perfector. This is a chemical exfoliator that contains
A combination of 3 acids: AHA, BHA and PHA.
This isn’t anything innovative, there are millions of chemical exfoliators on
the market to choose from. But this product is very attractive due to the fact
that it comes form Glossier, which is a very hyped up brand and the moment, and
due to its 90´s inspired packaging. Who doesn’t like pale pink glittery bottle?
It also comes with a lot of promises: unclog and reduce pore size, reduce
redness and totally transform your skin in 4 weeks. I haven’t been using this
product for long and I can’t comment on its efficacy at the moment, but I will
say that their packaging is genius as they have used a pump that easily
saturates your cotton pad minimising waste. I am a big fan!
Glossier Perfecting
skin tint. This is definitely a love hate product; the online reviews are
so mixed that I thought I would give it a try. This base has no coverage at all,
but does leaves a nice glow on the skin. It’s the perfect base if you have
flawless skin and only want to add a little something. If you’re into your coverage
I don’t think you will like this product. I have started using it as a primer
and I have to say it works really well as it leaves a nice glowy base.
Glossier Moisturizing
Moon Mask. I have to admit, never in a thousand years did I think I would
end up buying a hydrating mask. I have combination to oily skin and have never
used a hydrating mask in my life. Lately my skin has been feeling a bit dryer,
I think the cold outside and the heating indoors is taking a toll on my skin. So
I thought it was the perfect time to try out this hyped up mask. I don’t have a
full review on the product as I have only used it once, I need to properly test
it out.

At first, when I used this product for the first time I thought, What have I
done! I have just spent
£18 on a highlighter that looks and feels like pritt-stick.
It´s supposed to be a makeup/skincare hybrid as it is enriched with coconut,
castor seed and sweet almond oil. But let’s be honest, who needs extra
hydration on the tops of your cheek and tip of your nose? These are not common dry
areas and the extra hydration only leaves your skin feeling uncomfortably
sticky. I’m also not a fan of the pigmentation, it is really subtle you can barely
see a glow or sheen.
