Whenever I would go overseas, I would leave space for several bottles of this in my suitcase. It’s my favourite product to use instead of a foundation, but of course it looks beautiful under foundation too. This oil/serum/primer hybrid product soft focuses the skin, adding a glow and helping to mask over imperfections. Obsessed.

Stretch Concealer
Controversial, I use my stretch concealers as foundation. They’re so blendable and smooth, they melt straight into the skin when you buff them out. The formula also works well as a concealer too, I just think they’re great as an easy-to-use base too.

Priming Moisturiser Balance
My favourite summertime day moisturiser. This formula is so perfect for oily people who want nourishment and grip from their daily moisturiser but can’t handle anything too occlusive.

Lip Gloss
I have quite the obsession with Celia Burton the makeup artist, her looks are so feminine and beautiful- there are no flaws. Her looks are what made me fall in love with Glossier as they’re a staple brand in her kit. An essential to any look of hers is the Glossier Lip Gloss in clear. So I gotta make it mine as well.

I have to say that this is most likely the best lip balm I’ve ever used. Sometimes my lips feel even drier after applying a lip balm than it did before I applied it, but with the Glossier Lip Gloss my lips feel like satin for hours after application. And how can you beat the Birthday Cake flavour?

Boy Brow
I’m personally into the fluffy light brow look, so I don't usually do anything to them except stick them down in place. I have heard amazing things about the Boy Brow gel, I would need to get one in brown and clear, just to have the option of either a light or heavy brow.

Milky Jelly Cleanser
As someone who has pretty much exclusively used Glossier makeup for the last ten years, I’m excited to finally give their skincare a try. I’ve only heard amazing things about the Milky Jelly Cleanser, their nourishing and pH-balanced gel-cream cleanser, from my skincare-obsessed friends. And now I can let myself fall in love with it knowing it’s a cinch to restock.

Glossier’s Milky Jelly Cleanser is one of the only face washes I can use without completely breaking out. It dries my oily skin out a little and smells beautiful. The packaging is lovely and comes in a mini which is great for a mid-flight refresh, this product paired with an organic face oil = foolproof (take it from this skin fool).

Perfecting Skin Tint
In the chapped midwinter, I’m chasing the look and feel of dewy skin. The Glossier Skin tint is thin, breathable and perfect for layering on days where I want to even out my skintone without committing to full coverage. Glycerin will lock in all the moisture that I’m after, under the base and crease-free on top.

Glossier Lip Line
There’s no cosmetic item more prized to me than my lip liners. Glossier’s lip line is tonally true-to-lip, and buildable to match. Most importantly it’s transfer resistant, perfect for someone like myself who’s always leaving a puckered outline on their coffee cups.

Cloud Paint
I currently use Glossier’s Cloud Paint in a beautiful, almost burnt-looking orange shade, this is close to running out and I’m ready for a change. To double down on my already flushed winter cheeks, I’ll be ordering Storm and maybe Spark if I’m brave enough.

The Solution
The first Glossier product I ever tried, this chemical exfoliator did wonders for my skin. I loved how bright and clear my skin was when I was using this.
