TheHigherGloss

Recently I find myself drawn to the relatively new American make-up brand Glossier.  Their philosophy is to keep everything clean and simple, enhancing attributes, minimising ‘flaws’, and facing the world as the best version of yourself.

Sometimes we can become stuck in a rut, clinging on to what worked for us in the past, but the trick is to acknowledge that like everything else, time moves on. Personally, I find it exciting to experiment with different products that perhaps are aimed at a more youthful demographic, but who doesn’t want to look healthy, fresh and glowing?

The Glossier range is well curated and the prices are very reasonable. Their products are excellent and the packaging is simple and fun. Recently, I ordered the Balm Dotcom trio for £25. Six choices are on offer, I opted for Birthday, Cherry and Rose. These balms work incredibly well, leaving the slightest hint of colour, moisturising  lips, leaving them plump and juicy, and importantly, dispensing a delightful flavour.

Finding a concealer to cover imperfections without looking cakey is a continual quest. Glossier have come up with the perfect solution; their Stretch Concealer is amazing. The formula contains coconut oil, so the product glides on easily, blends well, and stays put during the day, even in the hot weather we have been experiencing lately. I use mine every day and have hardly made a dent in the pot. This has become one of my new favourites.

Brows are an art in themselves. Everyone I speak to has their own ritual, and to create perfect brows we now need an arsenal of products. Glossier’s Boy Brow is a wax that I use as the final step in this process. The product comes in a dinky little tube with a tiny spoolie that dispenses just the right amount of product for each application. This product seems to enhance and thicken the brows, keeping brows groomed throughout the day.

It’s a brand which, although aimed squarely at the younger market makes products which work well for all age groups. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by both the products’ affordability and how well they work! You can purchase Glossier here.
