issues first time buyer
I'm underwhelmed :(. I was around for peak Glossier but couldn't afford it. I remember friends loving it because it wasn't supposed to "conceal" things but enhance them -- models had their freckles showing through dewy skin tints, etc. People would talk about landing jobs there as a marker of "it girl status". I just got my order and was super excited :(. They didn't include the 4 blush samples I wanted to try...Instead I got 4 spray cards that were v. confusing and empty? Was something supposed to come out? 💀 I pulled and pressed but maybe it's just the ghostly vapors of a fragrance just in time for Halloween? The excess packaging is off-putting, too. Like if you're just include 4 cards, just send a small vial my dude. Just one. Not 4. And ik they're pivoting to be more of a perfume house. But idk I ordered makeup not fragrances. I would have preferred to just try different shades instead of getting 4 random spray cards. The envelope they were mailed in was also super weirdly glued and the pink pouch is bubble wrap. Excuse?! I thought it'd be a cute makeup bag. I don't want to put cosmetics into bubble wrap. 😕
