Keep in mind that these shadows offer more of a subtle, pretty look than a full-blown glam one; so, if the latter is what you’re looking for, I’d suggest trying something else, or using Lidstar with other products to achieve your desired look.

Lastly, despite the fact that it doesn’t seem like it when you apply Lidstar, due to its liquid-y consistency, all of the colors are quick to dry and last all day with primer (I use Too Faced Shadow Insurance). In fact, I even had trouble washing them off my hand after swatching them without primer!

Glossier You

Note: I have only ever tried Glossier You in sample form, and have never bought a full-size bottle, as I can get a free sample with every order I place from the website and have not run out so far; therefore, this review will be based on that. (Also, note that I read at least one review claiming that the sample smells different than the full-size. However, while I cannot personally attest to this, I would definitely keep in mind that the majority of reviews did not mention any discrepancies, and so would definitely recommend buying the full-size if you like the sample.) 

Glossier You is Glossier’s eau de parfum fragrance. It is described on Glossier’s website as “[t]he ultimate personal fragrance,” and includes base notes of amber, ambrox, and musk, and top notes of iris root and pink pepper. However, Glossier claims that the fragrance “comes incomplete,” as “You are the first ingredient.” This is supposed to mean that the fragrance mixes in with your body chemistry to create a unique-to-you scent.

Glossier You is my all-time favorite fragrance, and I wear it on most days. It also pairs very well with their body wash and body cream (both of which I reviewed here).

To me, it smells fresh, youthful, a little bit feminine (but also a little on the androgynous side), natural, and fun. In spite of this, it also has a mature (but not stuffy or old lady-ish) sensibility about it, making it perfect for any occasion, day or night, and regardless of season.
