Glossier Phase 2 Review! Stretch Concealer, Boy Brow, Generation G

Glossier has yet to disappoint me. Here's my review of Phase 2!

❥ The Phase 2 set include Glossier's "daily makeup staples". (Phase 1 includes skincare products) You receive Boy Brow; a brow pomade/gel, Stretch concealer; a light coverage cream concealer; and Generation G; a blotted-look matte lipstick. By buying the set, you save $12, which brings the price to $40. I think this is a great value! You can also receive 10% off your order if you use the link http://bff.glossier.com/hO4MP . It will also help my blog out. 😉

❥ Here's my unboxing video! This is my first-ever YouTube video. (sorry I forgot to turn my phone sideways while filming *facepalm*)

❥ The packaging is minimalist as per usual, I love the packaging of Boy Brow especially! I got the shade Light in concealer, the shade Cake in Generation G, and the shade Brown in Boy Brow.

Application

❥ Let's start with the Stretch Concealer. Glossier suggests you apply it with your hands, and that works very well. I wanted to use the concealer as an all-over foundation, so I tried it with a brush and a sponge. The densely-packed flat top brush worked really well. There was a tiny bit of streakyness, but it gave me an even appearance. The sponge did not work well at all. It sucked up too much product, and left me looking patchy and cakey. If you're just using it as concealer, I would recommend using your fingers, and if you want to use it as foundation or if you don't like touching your face, I would recommend a soft, dense, flat brush. I also set the center of my face with translucent powder, I would recommend using just a light dusting to avoid cakiness.

❥ The texture of the concealer is super creamy and soft. It felt hydrating and light on the skin. This is the only concealer/foundation I've ever used that I didn't hate wearing! I actually kind of enjoyed wearing it because it felt like a hydrating barrier protecting my skin from the winter dryness. The shade match was great, I think it's pretty forgiving because it's quite sheer and dewy. Even though it is sheer, I still get a good amount of coverage for my acne and redness. It gives a very my-skin-but-better look. This is definitely going to be one of my daily go-to's from now on! 9 spoon emojis out of 10! (this one was hard to pick an emoji for, so I just did a spoon because it matches the packaging😂)🥄🥄🥄🥄🥄🥄🥄🥄🥄

❥ Next, Generation G lipstick. I got the shade Cake, which is described as a "subtle peachy nude". I don't normally like peachy/orange lipstick on me, so I wanted to try something out of my comfort zone. The color is very pretty, and it can be applied quite sheer or built up to a terracotta color. The formula is not drying even though it's satin/matte. It's very comfortable to wear and has an interesting scent. My best description of it would be salty chocolate. 😂 I'm giving it 7 out of 10 peach emojis. I love the formula, but the color is just not my #1 favorite personally. It is definitely a beautiful wearable terracotta that I will be reaching for again though. 🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑

❥ Lastly, Boy Brow. This is one of Glossier's super-hyped products. Right off the bat, I just have to mention, the tube is tiiiny. Like, smaller than a sample size mascara tiny. You don't need much for each application, but I'm skeptical about how long it will last. I'll update this post when I run out. I think this product might be worth the cost-per-use though, because it worked wonders on my brows!

Before

After

❥ !!! The results are amazing! This might just be replacing my Maybelline Brow Precise Fiber Volumizer. There really isn't much of a learning curve, and it's pretty simple to apply. In a very small spot where my brow is sparse I just applied a little bit of brow pencil. But you really wouldn't have to use any other products with boy brow. I've also heard of people using it as a mascara, I think I'll give that a try soon as I've been wanting a brown mascara. I'm giving it 8 raised eyebrow emojis out of 10 just because I wish you got a little bit more product. 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨

Overall, I loved the Glossier Phase 2 set, and I'm excited to try more products from them. Thanks for reading! 💗
