Are These Recent Beauty Reviews from Sephora Worth the Hype?

i recently tried the new holiday duo pack of glossier's balm dot coms in biscotti & espresso. as part of their tyb affiliates, we got the news early and were able to discuss the new flavors, everyone was really anticipating the new espresso flavor (as we are abundant coffee lovers!)

first i tried the biscotti, which i was pleasantly surprised by. though not much color— it did give a little "oomph" and tasted delicious! great for the girls who love a natural look or subtle makeup.

then i tried on the espresso, i didn’t like how the color looked on me- which was disappointing as i normally love a brown lip. it wasn’t brown enough and do to the vaseline feel, the color is translucent right and inconsistent, splotchy if you will (uneven). i also didn’t like the smell which is crazy to say as a mega coffee drinker cause i love the scent of coffee, but this was giving coffee breath if you walked near anyone— so definitely not good for date night or even chatting in someone’s ear at the office.

i proceeded by trying their two new perfume scents, which are also going viral as great holiday gifts. i liked the new doux— a lot! it reminded me of the scents madewell used to carry. it was more musky. then the other one, rêve was very sweet i think giving me nostalgia to some old ariana grande scents. their normal glossier you is so potent that i rarely wear it. you literally only need one spritz and your mom will start complaining that you’re dousing yourself in it. but it is a classic for the die hard glossier girlie.

so, my recommendations: get the holiday pack and just resell or regift the espresso one, so you can get the biscotti. and i’d recommend the doux scent, i think it’s sexier. but also if you know you and your friend have opposite aesthetics then get them the opposite of whichever one you like. i think someone girly and preppier will like the rêve.
