Throughout my 10 years of beauty blogging, I’ve been prone to being slow off mark when it comes to trying out new makeup releases. It has to be something exciting for me to rush out and buy it or something that’s missing in my makeup routine.
So when Glossier launched their new Solar Paint bronzer creme I surprised myself by ordering it within a day of spotting it online. This is because I’ve simply never seen a bronzer with such a precise applicator before (I’m sure they exist somewhere) and I’m currently missing a lightweight liquid bronzer in my everyday routine.
I’m also a fan of any beauty brand that caters to fair skin and when I saw the lightest shade ‘flare’ I knew it was for me.
Last week I did something that I don't often do... I wrote an entirely negative product review. And to make it worse it was a product from my current favourite beauty brands, Glossier! You can find out what the product was and read my review here.
So today I thought I'd redeem myself to Glossier, I'm joking of course, and feature four of their most popular products as voted by their customers! I also thought it would be nice to hold a giveaway of either a Glossier Phase 1 Set or a Phase 2 Set - you get to decide! Find the giveaway entry section to the bottom of this blog post!

Firstly, apologies for the 3rd person blog title - I kind of made myself cringe!
Secondly, yes... this Glossier millennial has found a product she doesn't like... hates in fact! Oh god, I'm doing it again. I promised I will stop right now.
Since Glossier's UK launch back in October last year I have accumulated nine of their products. NINE! Which I can understand may not seem a lot to some but for me, it's a sign that I'm a girl obsessed, especially when I realised I own fewer products from Kiko; a brand I adore that's been around for years!
I guess you could say I fell for the hype and the aesthetics of the brand. And on the whole, I'm totally fine with that because I've discovered some amazing new products that have made their way into my everyday makeup vanity case (it's my new way of staying tidy/organised, you can read about that here). Namely Glossier Balm Dotcom (that Cake flavour, omg!), Boy Brow and for skincare, Milky Jelly Cleanser.

However, my second to last Glossier purchase was a total flop. Oh, how I wanted to love it, even giving it multiple tries but alas it's not meant to be.
For the past few years, chemical exfoliation has become a hot topic. I know I've definitely upped my game in that department, transitioning from physical exfoliators to acids based one and not looking back.
So when millennial beauty brand Glossier dropped another new product in the form of a face exfoliator and skin perfector named "Solution" just last week it confirmed to me that this way of exfoliating isn't going anywhere - pretty much ever!
Being a skincare enthusiast I had to see what Glossier Solution was like and give my low down on it in my first week of use, although I will add an update to this post once I've used it for a month or so giving my honest thoughts on it compared to the likes of Pixi Glow Tonic and The Ordinary Glycolic Acid Toning Solution.
If you fancy picking up Glossier's Solution you can find it HERE for £19.00 (first-time customers can receive 10% off HERE making it only £17.10 as it's a handy referral link that will benefit us both!)

Now that the dust has finally settled down around Glossier launching in the UK (online only, mind) I thought it was about time to share my thoughts on the brand as a whole and reviews of the products I picked up so far.
First, let's rewind a bit back to 2015 when In The Gloss, owner by Glossier founder, Emily Weiss, asked Into The Gloss readers to describe their dream fash wash in hopes of creating in their own words "the best darn cleanser the world has ever seen". Which they did indeed launch, creating the first-ever Glossier product (review of the facial wash further down)! Now with around 24 products under their belt and I'm sure more to come they have amassed quite a following, I mean, they have their own merch in the form of an on-trend grey sweater with the Glossier logo, which kinda' shows the level of love around the brand in my opinion, though it could just be a sign of how on the pulse Glossier are! Rambling aside, Glossier has come out with some amazing products, along with some lacklustre ones, and today I thought I would share what I decided to spend on and how these products have been working for me.
I should also point out that the Glossier UK website is UK based, so there's no risk of being hit with customs fees! Also if you do like any of the products you see here you can use my referral link HERE to receive 10% off your first order!
Dubbed the 'one face wash to rule them all' this £15 face cleanser has been receiving some rave reviews online.
Basic in packaging and formula I thought it was time to find out why this newly launched to the UK product has been receiving all the love lately!
