![]() And lo and behold the number one ingredient of this concealer is a pore-clogging ingredient (Octyldodecanol). So then I cross checked the full ingredient list of this concealer to this list of comedogenic (pore-clogging) ingredients from a well respected acne spa treatment center in San Francisco (I went there a couple times and I actually use a lot of their products regularly). How do I know this? First I tried it out and then where ever I used it, I started getting a couple of small whiteheads. But the big no-no for me is their pore-clogging formula (even though they say it's not). The concealer itself is a bit greasy but does have decent coverage. I need concealer most to hide my zits and general redness on my face. Now for the bad: their stretch concealer. Yes the product is awesome, but all the extra plastic just for a brow product (when really my Shu Uemura brow pencil already does a decent job) seems a bit like a waste. I really love this product but I'm not sure I'd repurchase this when I think about it from a sustainability stand point. I should warn you though that once you comb through the formula, you don't want to touch it until it dries otherwise it somehow loses its magic and starts to look like you painted your brows heavily (I made this mistake when I accidentally went overboard with this product and then tried to wipe some off with a tissue-nope don't do it, it totally backfires on you). I'm using the brown color and it blends in perfectly. As you comb it through, it really does blend it with your natural hairs. At first it looks like there's a lot of product on the wand and that it might make your brows look too dark but looks are deceiving. The short wand is perfect for combing your brows while simultaneously filling them with their cream-like formula. And now that my brows hairs are growing quite long, Glossier's boy brow has been pretty clutch in keeping my brows looking groomed and polished. My brows in general are fairly thin since an unfortunate over-plucking incident early on in my adolescence (a story for another time), but recently I've been using this lash and brow growth serum (and it really works!). So for today I have for you a review of Glossier's Boy Brow and Stretch Concealer.įirst the Boy Brow, which I have to say does live up to the hype. I will NOT check products for brands that are listed here.At first I was going to do one review for all the different Glossier products I bought but I'm going through them all so slowly since I really take my time when it comes to trying new makeup and skin care (sometimes when I use too many products at once my skin just freaks out and then I'm not sure which product was the one that triggered it all). If your brand is listed, ask your question on that brand’s page. I will delete questions that don’t follow the guidelines, are in the wrong spot or are rude. ![]() You can also learn more about how to use these pregnancy safety lists. If you want to ask about a specific product, I require that you follow these guidelines for asking about pregnancy/nursing safety. I will not review products that fall into the “don’t worry about it” categories. Please read the Pregnancy Beauty Guide intro first, where you will learn which products you actually need to worry about (spoiler alert, you don’t need to worry about all makeup or hair products). Don’t See Your Brand? Read This Before You Ask About It… The eBook describes my approach to pregnancy skincare, why I think you need a “core” of products that you use throughout your pregnancy. Yes, you need to subscribe to my newsletter to get it, but it is otherwise free! I promise, I don’t email often, and when I do it is with helpful pregnancy beauty updates. I recommend starting with my Pregnancy Skincare eBook. I’ve tried to take the entire process and make it much easier for my readers. I was a doctor and reading all of the ingredient lists and learning which ones I needed to avoid was very intimidating! I wrote a few posts about the process, readers started asking questions, and over the years pregnancy safe beauty products grew into more and more posts on 15 Minute Beauty. When I was pregnant with my first child, I had a major anxiety moment over my beauty products. ![]() And truly, who wants to spend hours researching which ingredients you should avoid in your skincare if you are pregnant? Is it safe to use your favorite retinol serum or what about benzoyl peroxide to treat your hormone related blemishes? If you are pregnant or trying to conceive, have you thought about your beauty products? Not all skincare and makeup is safe to use for pregnancy. Pregnancy Safe Makeup: What to Use?
