Over the 8-ish years I've been writing Girl Loves Gloss, I've tested and reviewed makeup, skincare and lifestyle items ranging in price from $2-$1000+.
I've been sent plenty, and I've purchased plenty of products and I've reviewed them all with the same critiques and criticisms that I hope translates to an honest and authentic review you all can trust.
Something I consider a lot though, is the question, "Would I repurchase this?" and perhaps a better question I should be asking myself is, "Could I repurchase this?".]]> https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/2020/12/cant-afford-it-but-totally-worth-it.html/feed 0 https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/2020/11/hair-skincare-beauty-gift-sets-worth-buying-this-year.html https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/2020/11/hair-skincare-beauty-gift-sets-worth-buying-this-year.html#respond Sat, 28 Nov 2020 08:00:23 +0000 https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/?p=12665 LET'S GET REAL FOR A MINUTE: SOMETIMES THOSE HOLIDAY SETS AREN'T REALLY A GREAT DEAL

Beauty brands are kind of notorious for downsizing, or even offering subpar quality (cough*Too Faced* cough) for their holiday launches each year. So I've sniffed out some great buys when it comes to holiday gift sets from brands I know and love and use. 
These sets include full-size products, incredible values, quality products and various price ranges for everyone. ]]> https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/2020/11/hair-skincare-beauty-gift-sets-worth-buying-this-year.html/feed 0 https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/2020/08/6-affordable-drugstore-skincare-and-bath-and-body-products.html https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/2020/08/6-affordable-drugstore-skincare-and-bath-and-body-products.html#respond Fri, 07 Aug 2020 17:00:00 +0000 https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/?p=12531 WHEN I FALL IN LOVE WITH A SKINCARE PRODUCT, I FALL HARD.

That means I buy them over and over, and always keep them around, regardless of what else I am trying. I consider these my litmus test; It's easy to phase in new products and see how they perform when I know that my skin always reacts well to my litmus tests. If you have sensitive skin, or find your skin sometimes reacting when you try new skincare product cocktails, this is a great way to manage that.]]> https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/2020/08/6-affordable-drugstore-skincare-and-bath-and-body-products.html/feed 0 https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/2020/07/5-gentle-morning-or-second-cleansers.html https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/2020/07/5-gentle-morning-or-second-cleansers.html#respond Thu, 16 Jul 2020 17:00:00 +0000 https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/?p=12470 I'M A MULTIPLE CLEANSER KIND OF GIRL.

I rely on one to break down my makeup, and another to cleanser the skin. This method is known as "double cleansing" and since I caught on to the concept I could never go back! These days we're all wearing SPF (right... you are wearing your sunscreen, aren't you??) at the very least, and a full face at the most. It's just not enough to expect one cleanser to rule them all!]]> https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/2020/07/5-gentle-morning-or-second-cleansers.html/feed 0 https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/2020/06/5-changes-you-might-want-to-make-to-your-skincare-routine.html https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/2020/06/5-changes-you-might-want-to-make-to-your-skincare-routine.html#respond Fri, 12 Jun 2020 17:00:00 +0000 https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/?p=12346 DO YOU EVER FEEL LIKE YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE IS GOOD, BUT NOT GREAT?

It's easy to fall loyal to certain products, or to stick to what you know with skincare; There's a lot out there and it can be overwhelming. Sometimes, the products are right, but the method is wrong.
Other times you could be missing out on using a product that is more catered to your skin type.
I've compiled a list of 5 simple changes you might want to make to your skincare routine to get the most out of your products and your time!]]> https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/2020/06/5-changes-you-might-want-to-make-to-your-skincare-routine.html/feed 0 https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/2020/05/5-quarantine-hero-skincare-products.html https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/2020/05/5-quarantine-hero-skincare-products.html#respond Fri, 08 May 2020 07:00:00 +0000 https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/?p=12330 STAYING AT HOME TO QUARANTINE DURING A PANDEMIC CAN PRESENT SOME NEW CHALLENGES AND STRUGGLES FOR YOUR SKIN.

Besides the constant hand washing and sanitizing (I've never felt so germaphobic!), there's also stress, recycled or central air to deal with. In my case, the creek next door has been dug up for construction and there is just so much dust I feel like I'm living in some old lady's attic. 
Like I said, the struggle. 
I've noticed that my skin is definitely feeling more dehydrated, yet I'm getting stress breakouts.My lips are SO dry, and the dullness... oh God the dullness. So that's fun.
Beyond my regular skincare routines, there are a few products though that have pulled their weight a little extra. Here are 5 quarantine heroes for when you're stuck inside, and your skin needs a little extra TLC.]]> https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/2020/05/5-quarantine-hero-skincare-products.html/feed 0 https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/2020/05/chanel-les-beiges-water-fresh-tint.html https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/2020/05/chanel-les-beiges-water-fresh-tint.html#respond Fri, 01 May 2020 17:00:00 +0000 https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/?p=11496 IT TOOK ME 7 MONTHS TO PURCHASE CHANEL LES BEIGES WATER FRESH TINT.
 ..because it was sold out every single time I tried to buy it. For SEVEN months!
Chanel is no stranger to beauty products that gain an insane cult following. Remember when you couldn't find Soleil Tan de Chanel anywhere? Rouge Noir Nail Polish Anyone? How about Notorious blush which made contouring a thing before it was a thing; People were buying it on eBay for 4-5x times the retail price for years!
Initially, when I heard about Chanel Water Tint I wrote it off as one of those nothing bases. It seemingly had no coverage, was stupid expensive and even seemed a bit... gimmicky.]]> https://staging.girllovesgloss.com/2020/05/chanel-les-beiges-water-fresh-tint.html/feed 0
