One of the questions I get the most here and on Instagram is how to get PR, “gifted” products or press samples from brands as a blogger or influencer. Almost 8 years ago I started Girl Loves Gloss because makeup and beauty was and is my favourite thing. I’ve been passionate about beauty since I…
SMASHBOX ALWAYS ON CREAM SHADOWS ARE THE NEW KID ON THE CREAM SHADOW BLOCK.
I was sceptical about how much I would like the Always On Cream Shadows, given I’ve notoriously not liked Smashbox eye products in the past.
The shade range immediately appealed to me due to the unique take on neutrals (thing options like ochre yellow, greige, sienna) and the all matte lineup.
ONE OF MY MOST-READ POSTS OF ALL TIME IS A COMPARISON OF CHANEL SOLEIL TAN DE CHANEL BRONZER COMPARED TO ANOTHER CREAM BRONZER.
Since then, my search analytics have told me that you all really want to know how the Chanel cream bronzer compares to many of the newest cream bronzer options that have come out over the years.
The Colourpop Baroque Palette isn’t something I would normally gravitate towards, and yet it caught my eye.

ONE OF MY FAVOURITE PRODUCTS, THE CHARLOTTE TILBURY HOLLYWOOD FLAWLESS FILTER, JUST GOT A SHADE EXTENSION IT WAS SORELY NEEDING.
