Hydrating Winter Lip Loves
ByGirl Loves Gloss January 3, 2020January 1, 2020

IF THERE’S A LIP BALM OUT THERE, I’VE LIKELY TRIED IT.

I’m not a lipstick fanatic, but I do have a serious weakness for a good balm. I’m beyond picky when it comes to my lip balms, treatments and glosses; I want hydration over anything, longevity, and non-sticky formulas that make my lips look smooth. It’s a tall task, and I’ve collected a small capsule of lip favourites that I especially like in the winter when the weather is confused between dry and cold and wet and soggy here in the Pacific North West.

2019 Holiday Gift Guide
ByGirl Loves Gloss December 16, 2019January 10, 2021

I REALLY WAFFLED ON WHETHER OR NOT TO MAKE A GIFT GUIDE THIS YEAR.

If I am honest, I find them a bit oversaturated and salesy. Don’t even get me started on the ones that separate all sorts of cool tech stuff into a ‘For Him’ guide whilst leaving fluffy slippers and bath bombs ‘For Her’.

Game Changing Products to Add to You Shower and Bath
ByGirl Loves Gloss December 6, 2019February 11, 2020

IS YOUR SHOWER MISSING THESE GAME-CHANGING PRODUCTS?

Most showers are filled with the boring basics: shampoo, conditioner and some soap or body wash. Or in my case about 4 different versions of each (classic Gemini move!). Over the last couple of months though, I’ve added some game-changing products to my shower and bath routine that elevate things next level. As someone who’s suffered from Keratosis Pilaris since I was young, a couple of these have made loads of difference. Paired with an in-shower facial, a funky tool that takes shampooing to different heights and a couple of pre-shower treatments, these 5 products take efficiency to the max!

October Beauty Favourites
ByGirl Loves Gloss November 4, 2019December 5, 2019

FRIENDS, I’VE BEEN A TERRIBLE BLOGGER THIS MONTH. Like relatively non-existent, and I get that it’s not great business. But life… Life just gets in the way sometimes. I have been squirrelling away lots of great post ideas, however. While September and October, in general, we’re just kind of crap months, I do have loads…

My Clarins | The Skincare Range Geared at Beginners and Millenials
ByGirl Loves Gloss October 10, 2019February 11, 2020

SKINCARE FOR MILLENNIALS: DOES IT NEED TO BE A THING? No one dislikes the constant millennial marketing as much as an older millennial like yours truly. If you grew up without a computer in your house and got a pager for your 16th birthday, then you know what I’m saying. So I was hesitant when…
