Okay so I kept seeing these Re: Glossier skincare shortcuts popping up everywhere. My bathroom counter’s packed with their stuff but honestly? Results felt kinda meh. Figured I’d test drive these viral tips myself.
The Morning Madness Experiment
Woke up Tuesday and grabbed my Milky Jelly Cleanser like always. But instead of rinsing it off quick? Slathered extra on my cheeks where pores look crappy. Left it sitting there while brushing teeth. Felt weird but after patting dry? Skin gulped down Futuredew serum way faster than usual.
Serum Sandwich Situation
Next hack involved Super Pure serum. Normally I dab it solo after toning. This time? Did toner layer first, patted face semi-dry, then went serum – moisturizer – more serum before sunscreen. Messy as hell and took forever. But around noon I touched my forehead? Zero oil slick. Usually it’s like a damn frying pan by lunch.
- Pro tip: Do the serum sandwich at NIGHT first. Morning version made me 15 mins late for work
- Con: Felt like slapping glue on my face
The Cloud Paint Blunder
Tried mixing Beam cloud paint with moisturizer for “dewy glow” like everyone said. Big mistake. Looked like I rubbed Cheetos dust all over. Had to scrub it off in sink while muttering swear words. Second attempt? Dabbed tiny bit directly on cheekbones before foundation. Actually looked kinda fire.
Final verdict after two weeks? The cleanser mask thing and serum stacking legit work. That paint-mixing nonsense? Pure clown behavior. Skin’s definitely plumper now but jeez – some hacks should stay on TikTok where they belong.
