I did it. I decided to jump on the Glossier bandwagon.
I really wanted to do a full face of Glossier makeup, but this girl ain't made of money. Sooo I decided to purchase the Phase 2 Makeup Set ($50 CAD), which comes with the concealer, lipstick and brow gel. Lately I've been loving simple and quick makeup, so I was super excited to try this out.
Stretch Concealer
As a first impression, I'm not sure how I feel about this concealer. I have very mixed views on it. On one hand, it's light and it blends in seamlessly BUT on the other hand, the coverage is pretty light and it's slightly oily? If you're having a really great skin day and just need a little something, then by all means it's great. It's not the best for covering darkness or red spots. I also don't think it would last very long on someone who has oily skin. You'd definitely want to set it with some powder.
I put a different concealer on top of it for a bit more coverage on my spots. I think this would be ideal to bring on vacation when you want a little something, but not a full face of cakey makeup.
YAY or NAY? Meh. I might keep it and use it on vacation or pray for a perfect skin day so I can use it.
Boy Brow
This is the one that I was the most excited for and let me say, it did not disappoint! I can clearly understand the hype around this product. It adds a nice tint of colour and makes your brows look thicker and more full. It looks great on it's own and I'm sure it will layer nicely over my other brow products. It doesn't make your brows feel stiff - it has more of a waxy texture that doesn't feel heavy.
YAY or NAY? Yay all the way!
Generation G
I ended up liking this lip product more than I thought. It still has a really nice pop of colour for being a more sheer lipstick. It's very comfortable to wear, however, it's not long lasting. As soon as you eat something, it'll all come off. That's what happened to me. On the plus side, it didn't end up all over my face like some other lipsticks do. It did leave a very slight tint behind which was nice. Again, this is a good item for vacation.
YAY or NAY? Yay. It's a nice lip product.
Here's my finished look using these products. I did use another concealer along with the Glossier one. Other than that, I used Boy Brow, some mascara, a light eye shadow and Generation G on my lips.
All in all, the products were pretty good. I do like the whole simple, no makeup makeup look. I do wish the concealer had more pigment though - even on my natural looking days, I want my spots to be covered. I would love to try some more Glossier products in the future. Have you tired any? What were your thoughts and what would you recommend? Tell me in the comments below.
Until next time,
