I have kept this cleanser in the shower since I received it and I would say that this is a great cleanser for two specific types of people; someone who has sensitive skin and needs a basic cleanser, or anyone who does most of their treating with the rest of their skincare routine (i.e. serums, masks, oils, etc). I don’t use this on days I’ve worn makeup (after I’ve removed my makeup first) or when my skin is really struggling because I don’t think it does a good enough job of deep cleansing. However, everyone should have a simple basic cleanser on hand for when you just need a gentle cleanse. This would be great as an AM cleanser if you don’t need much treatment.

Retinol Jasmine Cleanser

I love this cleanser for days when I’m feeling drier than normal. For reference, I’m usually normal to oily in the warmer months and normal to dry in the winter months. I think this would be a great for someone who is on the drier side and looking for anti-aging products in their routine. It definitely leaves my skin feeling hydrated and nourished. The thing I love most about this Retinol line from Pixi Beauty is that none of the Retinol products are extremely concentrated so the will not leave you feeling dry and peel-y like some retinoids. They are a great intro to Retinol line.

Glow Tonic

I don’t think this needs another ‘glowing’ review because it definitely is a cult favorite (pun intended). If you’re looking for a good daily Glycolic Acid toner, check this one out. Remember, whenever using exfoliating products it’s important that you are wearing your SPF daily, even if you won’t be in the sun for long periods of time.

Peel & Polish Resurfacing Concentrate

I love this exfoliating product because it’s great for days when you don’t have the time or energy for waiting for an exfoliating mask to sit. It is kind of a 2-in-1 physical and chemical exfoliation, but is still gentle. You simply apply it (avoiding your eye area), let it sit for a couple minutes, and then either wash it off or massive it in for a bonus physical exfoliation. I would do it 2 times max a week, unless you are doing more exfoliation throughout the week.

Glow Mud Mask

This is one of my favorite types of masks because it feels like a science experiment on your face haha. You apply it like a typical charcoal mask and as it dries, it dries darker in areas where you have trouble spots. I think this is great if you are newer to skincare and don’t necessarily know how to distinguish this yourself. I love to add my hydrocolloid zit patches after using this mask so I know which areas need extra help after the mask.

DeroxifEYE Facial Treatment

I love a good eye patch but am really specific about which ones I use since I often give these to clients before makeup applications if they are puffy in the undereye area. While I still prefer my Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber De-Tox Hydra-Gel Eye Patches these are definitely a close second and much more affordable option. They are great at depuffing and smoothing out the undereye area if you struggle with fine lines, allergies, puffiness, etc.

Overnight Retinol Oil

This is probably my most used product from Pixi so far and I love it. It is a simple retinol oil that you apply as your last step at night. I love how hydrating it is, but really feel like it helps keep the texture of my skin smoother. Again, as I mentioned earlier in this post, I love how this oil is a great every day retinol product and highly recommend it for someone who is looking to add a simple retinoid into their routine.

Bonus Flop: Hydrating Milky Makeup Remover

I have tried so hard to love this product for months but I just can’t get behind it. In order for me to really love a makeup remover, it needs to be able to remove all eye makeup easily without me having to use much pressure on the eye area. This is a delicate space that needs to be taken care of, especially if you are someone who wears makeup regularly. This one claims to remove even waterproof makeup, but I find it has issues removing even my regular non-waterproof mascara. I find that I still gravitate towards oil cleansers for this first step of a makeup removing double cleanse. If you do not wear much eye makeup or want a makeup remover for just your face, this might be a good option for you, as I love the pump dispenser and smell.

Have a beautiful week,

Andrea

It’s no secret that I love Glossier. I have tried a lot of their products and many of them are staples in my routine. Since I get asked often what my thoughts are, what my favorites are, etc..I figured it was time that I shared my thoughts on each of the products that I’ve tried.

Lash Slick

This is one of my favorite mascaras of all time. I have never seen a mascara that is not waterproof, look the exact same at the end of the day, as it did when you applied it in the AM. If you are someone who is looking for a very dramatic and voluminous mascara, this one isn’t for you. I’d say it’s a great every day mascara that makes you look like you have naturally beautiful and full lashes. I love it for my bottom lash line because it doesn’t transfer. I also like the price tag. It’s not very expensive for being what I would consider a prestige mascara.

Haloscope

I love cream highlighters so it’s probably no surprise that I love this one in Moonstone. This is the only shade I’ve tried but it’s perfect for a wet and dewy skin look. I absolutely love the effect and healthy look it gives my skin. I have heard great things about the other shades as well, but I love this one so much.

Stretch Concealer

I was hesitant to order this concealer originally because I knew it would have as much coverage as the concealers I was used to, but I loved that it had a really dewy finish. Turns out I just had to figure out how to apply it best for my skin. I find that when I apply it with my fingers, let it sit for a few moments, and then blend it out with a Real Techniques Setting Brush (you need to own at least 2 of these if you don’t already), it is PERFECTION! I still set it with powder or hit it with a good layer of setting spray if I want it to stay dewy.

Generation G Lipsticks

This is one of my favorite lipstick formulas of all time. I am obsessed with the shade ‘Cake’. If you look at my IG, I am wearing it all the time in makeup photos. I just love how it gives the perfect amount of something, while being nude. I keep it in my purse and will forever purchase it until they stop making it. I love the colors too because they give the perfect pop of color without being too bold. They are more of a wash of color than an opaque, bright shade. I think they would be great for someone wanting to start wearing lipstick that is nervous to go too bold. The formula is matte but feels really nice on the lips.

Solution

This is the only skincare product I have tried from Glossier and I love it. If you’ve been following my blog for a little while, you’ll know that I love a gentle chemical exfoliation as a daily part of my routine. It’s great for preventing breakouts and aging at the same time. I enjoyed the entire bottle of this and felt like it did what it claimed. I haven’t gone back to it, simply because I like to continue trying other products. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if it ended up back on my shelf in the future. If you deal with breakouts, texture issues, dark spots, fine lines, etc. this would be a great addition to your routine.

Boy Brow

Boy brow is probably tied with the Cake lipstick as my favorite Glossier products of all time. It’s the best brow product I’ve ever used and here’s why. The black shade is the perfect cool tone for my dark brows. It’s brush is small enough to apply precisely, but still is quick. The formula is long wearing and doesn’t make my brows look too wet. I also love that you don’t need a lot of product because I find that I go through my brow products the quickest. If you want a easy brow product that will make your brows look fuller and keep them in place, I HIGHLY suggest you try this one out.

Cloud Paint

If you’re a girl who likes easy and minimal makeup, you would love cloud paint. I tend to go for liquid and cream face products for daily and easy makeup, so I love these cloud paints. They are pretty pigmented and the shade range is beautiful. I have the coral shade and I love how natural of a flush it gives my cheeks. You can also wear them on your eyes and lips which is fun! I like to blend them in with my fingers.

Lidstar

This is probably the only Glossier product I’ve tried that I would say you could skip on. It’s a ok product, I just don’t think it’s anything special. I wish they were slightly more pigmented. I do feel like they wear pretty well, so if you’re looking for an all over color to provide a sheer wash of color for your lids, this might be for you. I think I just have too much discoloration and veining on my eyelids to use this alone.

Perfume

If you’re looking for a scent unlike anything you’ve ever smelled, TRY IT! It smells so good, and I’m not a big perfume person! It’s one of those scents that you can’t stop sniffing because it’s so good.

There you have it! If you’re new to Glossier be sure to CLICK HERE for 10% off your first purchase. I have yet to try their new PLAY line of makeup products, but I’ll probably give in and try it soon and let you know my thoughts!

What have you tried from Glossier? It really is a great brand and I love their whole skincare first, makeup second approach to beauty.

Have a beautiful day,

Andrea
