If you haven't heard, Glossier is a line founded by Emily Weiss, creator of Into The Gloss. I first heard of the line through a friend's Instagram post and knew right away I wanted to try it. After a month of testing the kit and loving the products, I thought I'd make a list of the 10 Reasons Why You Need the Glossier Phase 1 Set!
1. The set contains everything you need to hydrate, calm, and even out your skin.
2. Running late? Keep your kit in the cute reusable pink bubble pouch it comes in. Wash your face, grab your pouch, and hit the road!
3. All Glossier products are cruelty-free.
4. The Balm Dotcom Universal Skin Salve is an incredibly moisturizing (non-sticky, unscented and taste-free) balm for your lips or any other part of your body that's desperately seeking hydration salvation. If you only buy 1 thing from Glossier, do yourself a favor and spring for this $12.00 20ml tube of magic. I've forsaken all other lip balms in favor of this, including my previous holy grail (Bite Beauty Agave Lip Mask)!
5. Got a case of dull winter skin? Spritz on The Soothing Face Mist for a burst of calming rosewater bliss and follow it up with a dab of the Priming Moisturizer for a glowing, vibrant face.
6. The Perfecting Skin Tint, a watery, ultra-thin tint of color, is as easy to apply as a moisturizer and adds a dewy, imperceptible hint of tint. Perfect for days when you need a bit of evening out but don't want to go full coverage. Follow it up with a few dabs of concealer on any blemishes and voila! It's your skin, but better.
7. The Priming Moisturizer can be layered on depending on your skin's need for hydration. I have combination skin and this moisturizer works very well for me alone or under makeup.
8. There's something empowering about buying products created by a fellow blogger, especially when they're this incredible and take the guesswork out of caring for your skin.
9. If you're a creative type and love to personalize your goods, the Glossier Phase 1 Set comes with a sheet of adorable stickers for you to adorn your products with and make them your own.
10. Need a pick-me-up at the end of a rough day? Spritz the Soothing Facial Mist onto your face and take a deep breath. Ahhhhhhh!

There's nothing better than the feeling of being freed from things that are no longer bringing happiness into your life. I've already started clearing out space in my life to make room for new opportunities and experiences and I'm really looking forward to the new year!

Oh my God!! Thanks SO much for the giveaway Kristen!! its a dream to try Glossier!! <3 My 2015 is going to be all about "Sensibility" .. sensible with money sensible with material with my body with food! :-)
ReplyDeleteAw, you are so welcome! I am so impressed with everything from Glossier that the opportunity to share a set with one of my readers is beyond thrilling! I love your 2015 word. Sensibility with all things makes for a sound spirit! XOXO
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing giveaway. My goal for 2015 is to stress-free. I usually internalize the stress and burst later which is not healthy. I am going to work out more to release the stress and let things go. My health is more important! Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteOne of my 2015 goals is to stop hoarding beauty products! I have SO much great, unused stuff! I really want to try to get through some of it.
ReplyDeleteWow what a lovely giveaway.
ReplyDeleteMy blogging goal for 2015 is to develop my photography and get more organised. I'd also love to do more collaborations so that I learn from other people.

Excellent post! It's great to hear about something new and refreshing!
ReplyDeleteAwesome giveaway!! My word for 2015 is Positivity. I recently started the journey to receiving my Master's degree in Education, and it's been a bumpy road to say the least. Even though I've had some troubles with the program, I am making it my goal to stay positive and look at the big picture rather than dwell on all of the little things that make me want to pull my hair out. I know I'll be proud once I've reached my destination and have my classroom, so I'm going to remind myself every day to stay positive.
ReplyDeleteAaaahhhh...I am dying to try Glossier! My goal for 2015 is to be more intentional. I've spent a long time doing this in a scattered way and I'd like to eliminate life's clutter and put more thought and effort into the important things.
ReplyDeleteOh geez, my goal for 2015 is to survive it! Especially my twin sister's wedding this summer LOL!
ReplyDeleteWootsies!! I'm so in love with Balm Dotcom, and when i went to the website I saw how exciting the other products in Phase 1 looked so I'm super happy that you wrote a review about the whole thing! I think the soothing face mist looks perfect. I've been using the HECK out of my LUSH Eau Roma Water, which is a lavender/rose mist... So I can imagine Glossier's being similarly fantastic! I'm also interested in the skin tint, because you know I am a non-foundation-lady! Haha! And, can't go wrong with the stickers...!? I'm glad that Glossier is making a "basics" kit.. A lot of people skip over the skincare and it just breaks my heart, haha!
ReplyDeleteI love that your 2015 word is "simplify", and I'm working on that too. It's interesting you mention uncluttering your physical AND mental spaces... Mental is often so overlooked! If I had to choose one word for 2015 (I have been thinking about this for about 5 minutes now?) I'd pick "YES"!! Yes to more opportunities instead of hiding because it's not part of my normal routine. I want to experience everything, because like that new One Republic song, "I did it all, I owned every second that this world could give" ..!!
MUCH LOVE!!!
I keep hearing about this brand!! I love the simple packaging but the idea of the stickers is super cute to personalize each product! My word(s) for 2015 are similar to yours, "let go" let go of beauty products that I no longer have a use for or never had a use for in the first place.. let go of memories, people, objects etc that also no longer have a use/are wasting space ;)
ReplyDeleteI am a fan of Into The Gloss and I love supporting bloggers who release their own products or books. Thanks for the giveaway, Kristen! My word for the year 2015 would be "SAVE" Save more money, less buy! hahahahhaa! xoxo Congrats, Into The Gloss!! YAYAY!

ReplyDeleteMy word of the 2015 is BLISS. I want to EXPLORE, be YOUNG (and youthful), EXUBERANT, and ALIVE. I just turned 20 in November and am embarking on the very beginning my selfish years...

ReplyDeleteThank you for entering, Eva Mallorie! Beautiful name, by the way! Positivity is such a good word to choose for the new year.

Best of luck to you in 2015 and beyond!
ReplyDeleteThank you for entering, Sarah! Glossier is definitely worth looking into. If nothing else, the Balm Dotcom makes my heart go pitter-pat, and the rosewater mist is enchanting!

ReplyDeleteI missed it! ARRGHH! :(
ReplyDeleteI know! :(( Boo! I was hoping you'd enter in time! There will be more giveaways in the new year though, so stayed tuned, sistah! :*
