My fave product from Drunk Elephant:Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Sukari BabyfacialClick the photo below to purchase your own!It's all in the name with this revitalising face mask - with it's main goal being leaving your complexion baby-soft! Apply an even layer to clean and dry skin. Leave on for around 10 to 15 minutes, to allow the formula to rid your face and pores of dead skin cells and dirt. You may feel a slight tingle - don't worry, it just means it's working!
Then rinse with lukewarm water and gently pat your face dry. Now listen up glossies! This mask cannot be mixed with any other formula other than the Drunk Elephant Virgin Marula Oil - which you can apply immediately after your mask when your face is dry.
This mask packs a punch with it's ingredients glossies. Matcha, apple, milk thistle and pomegranate - soothes and conditions your complexion. Chickpea flour brightens and balances, while Marula Oil leaves skin with a flawless glass-like finish! Perfect for any skin type! To top it off, of course it's vegan and cruelty-free.

Dr Jart+
Glossies, a brand we all need to keep our eyes on this year is Dr Jart+! We have all heard of K-POP, thanks to record breaking bands like Blackpink and BTS but have you heard of K-Beauty? Korean Skincare is in depth and so specific - that between all the Korean Skincare brands out there - you'll have a fix for every and any skincare concern.
Dr Jart+ was founded in 2005 by architect Leeo (Chin Wook) Lee. Working in Seoul in South Korea at the time, Leeo came across an exclusive face balm used only in professional treatments. This magical balm treated spots but had the visual effects of makeup! (Yes you read that right glossies)
Leeo abandoned his career to pursue his inspiration of hybrid products that could ease beauty routines. (Thank you Leeo!) Working in labs, him and his team interpreted the magical balm into what is today their Dr Jart+ BB Cream.
Celebrating their 18th birthday this year, Dr Jart+ have had recent online trending products and soaring reviews. I cannot wait to see what they come out with in 2023!
My fave product by Dr Jart+:Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Tiger Grass Color Correcting TreatmentClick the photo below to purchase your own!Formulated using Centella Asiatica (Tiger Grass), this rich mask encourages your skin to tap into its own natural restorative cycles, aiding redness and blemishes. The unique formula boasts the ability to prevent dust and other unwanted particles, from harming your delicate, sensitive skin.
The consistency is quite thick, so a little goes along way. Everyone online, has been astounded by how much colour correcting this magic cream gives, no foundation needed!

Too Faced
Too Faced is a brand we all know and love, and have done since 1998! They encourage their customers to feel powerful and confident, allowing each user to express themselves through makeup! Too Faced understand that makeup is a mood booster, and the effects it gives us, is more than just a little colour on our face.
Too Faced own the word iconic! From their Better Than Sex collection, Hangover Skincare, Born This Way base makeup and powerful Lip Injections!
Celebrating their 25 year anniversary in 2023, I'm looking forward to see what cute, inspiring and unique products they bring out! From their iconic annual Pumpkin Palette, to their limited edition collections - 2023 is going to be Too Faced's year!
My new fave product from Too Faced:Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara - ChocolateClick the photo below to purchase your own!Too Faced have already started the year with a bang! By bringing out a new Cocoa collection - which includes the iconic Better Than Sex Mascara in a new, sexy chocolate shade!
Last year I fell in love with brown mascara's, so this is a dream! Same formula as the OG mascara - so think lasting volume and definition. The hourglass-shaped brush grabs and coats each individual lash from root to tip, leaving you with immense length. Senegal tree extract encourages fuller-looking lashes with a flirty flutter, and remember glossies...in a brand new yummy chocolate shade.
NYX
My last brand to watch out for this year glossies is the trending sensation that is NYX!
Founded in 1999 by Toni Ko and named after Nyx - the Greek goddess of the night - this LA founded brand lives and breathes self-expression!
NYX wants every customer to experiment, have fun and for their products to be accessible for everyone! The last couple of years NYX have had a handful of their products trend on Tik Tok - everyone has heard of NYX! From their marshmellow primer to their Shine Loud Shine High Lip Colour. Glossies...I can't wait to see which beauty buy trends next!
My current fave product from NYX:NYX Professional Makeup Wonder Stick Highlight and Contour StickClick the photo below to purchase your own!The current online trending product from NYX is their defining and brightening Wonder Stick! This highly pigmented, dual-ended highlight and contour stick - enhances and defines your natural beauty.
