I’m not going to lie, I mainly wanted this because of the cute packaging, how pretty?! However, I did really want to try out a Balm DotCom anyway so this was the perfect one to trial. My makeup has been applying so perfectly over this, I’m in love! I feel like this is a good one to opt for over the rich moisturiser if you have combination skin like I do, as it helps to hydrate my skin without accentuating my oily areas. It sinks into my skin leaving it so soft and hydrated, I couldn’t recommend this any more if you’re a fellow dry skin sufferer, it’s perfect for the winter months! I also suffer with quite a bit of redness around my nose and on my chin and I’ve noticed that this helps to reduce it a lot which is perfect for the days when I don’t want to wear too much makeup. I love how lightweight this moisturiser is, the tiniest bit goes such a long way too. I definitely recommend picking this up if you struggle with oiliness and breakouts! I’ve only used this a handful of times since I bought it and applied a decent amount yet there’s still so much left and it’s worked wonders on my skin. I felt like this was the appropriate mask to help me out and I can’t believe how well it works! It doesn’t dry my skin out at all, yet leaves it feeling velvety soft and my face has looked so much clearer the next morning. Although I have really dry skin, I also suffer with a very oily t-zone and I’ve been having a lot of breakouts recently. I was drawn to this mask because of the description of how it detoxifies and cleanses the skin, drawing out oil and impurities. I think I’m already certain that the moon mask will make its way into my basket for my next order… but anyway, here’s the goodies that I picked up! I also got one of the infamous pink bubble bags with my order and I’m very happy as they come in so useful. It’s safe to say that I love everything I got and I’m eager to make another order! I got a mix of skincare and makeup, but I didn’t jump on the bandwagon when it came to the cloud paints as my skin rarely works with cream or liquid blush and I didn’t want to waste my money. I made my Glossier order the day it launched in the UK, but I haven’t posted my haul until now as I wanted time to trial everything out so I could let you all know my thoughts on it all. If you wear rich skincare underneath, the concealer and skincare will mix and make a dewy, luminous concoction.I’ve been waiting for Glossier to be available in the UK for the longest time and now it finally is!! When it comes to luminosity, Blunder concedes that unless you’re careful, the result can look more flat than foundation but insists that increasing skin hydration is the ‘easiest fix’. ‘They give a luminosity to skin that’s hard to recreate with a concealer.’ ‘I just don’t think you will get the natural radiance from an opaque concealer that you would get from a foundation, or something like Chanel’s Water Fresh Tint or Trinny London’s BFF,’ she says. She also thinks that foundation isn’t quite dead yet. However, she’s not convinced one concealer can do everything, adding: ‘I’d usually advise two concealers - one that’s radiant that you can use under the eyes, and one that’s opaque that hides lumps and bumps.’ ‘I’d suggest applying a moisturiser within 30 minutes of applying your concealer.’ ‘You can get away with applying a foundation to dry skin but concealer needs hydrated skin,’ she says. Once the product goes on to a hydrated canvas, it dilutes beautifully but still keeps its coverage.’Īnd Barnes points out that a ‘hydrated canvas’ is key. ‘They can appear quite thick when you first apply them but you need to blend them down. ‘As well as the Blunder products, there are new concealers from Jones Road that fit the bill, as well as cult classics such as Glossier’s Stretch Concealer ,’ she says.
