These are just a few throwback shots I took from the Glossier London pop up showroom they had going on for a week in November last year (2017).
If you know me already I am completely obsessed with Glossier, I just love everything about this brand. It's philosophy in makeup and skin is exactly what I embrace in life. I'm a big fan of the "no-makeup-makeup-look" and skin is where I like to put great focus on, it acts as a base for me over any full coverage foundation.
Glossier seems to have had great success since launching in 2014 and has yield a great amount of following and it continuously seems to be growing, with a few celerity clienteles seen wearing some of the products, from Beyonce to Miranda Kerr and the list goes on.
The picture shown above is the first ever order I made from Glossier when the they started shipping to the UK, and since then I have made a few more orders. I have tried out nearly all of the products that have been created since and just recently they have released a mascara and a few cream eyeshadows that I am very excited to try out.
When I found out they were having a pop up store in London I just knew I had to go, the setup was exactly what I thought it would be like, girly, cool and minimal. They had an amazing flower display in every corner of the building (no joke) it was truly heavenly. They had their signature mood board up in the lounge room provided with some modern contemporary furniture and a cute fireplace display. There was almost a Parisian vibe to the whole thing, I love Glossier but sometimes I forget it was founded in New York, I just wished they incorporated that sense of connection and aesthetics into the brand sometimes. But I guess its hard to as the minimal makeup look truly stems from the Parisian women.
I wasn't in there for too long but I did thoroughly enjoy touring the whole place. It only took me about thirty minutes and an added 10-15 minutes of chill time in the lounge room. There was talks of having a permanent showroom being opened in London, but time will tell when and where that will be, but I would be super pleased if it was to happen.
Overall Glossier is what it says on the tin, it's all about sheer makeup and helping you achieve that glowy look. Despite criticism of it only being ideal "for those who already have nice skin", I still appreciate and love the ethos of this brand, it's not like any other makeup which you can find in any drugstore or high end stores, it's different and has it's own unique style of doing things, from packaging to promoting.
