What made you want to create your own cosmetics?
I started detoxifying my beauty regimen a couple of years ago, and I took quite an interest in it, so much so that I started making my own beauty products. I have really sensitive skin, and it was so hard to find wholesome products at the time so I just started creating my own. Plus I truly needed a creative outlet, and I enjoyed every moment spent creating new products! So I went for it, opened up my Etsy shop and have been growing ever since.
From the adorable packaging to the ingredients, everything from Glory Boon seems to be crafted with care. What/Who mostly inspires you?
I find inspiration in the everyday. Nature, people, music, and poetry. I like browsing images on Pinterest and in magazines. Inspiration truly is everywhere. You just need to open your eyes a little bit to see it all around you.
Which product are you most proud of? (tough question I know!) or which product is the most popular on your shop?
Good question! It’s hard to choose a favorite product! I must say I’m partial to the all natural concealer stick (heal & conceal). It’s been in the shop since the beginning and I use it everyday! As for the cream blushes, they will make a comeback! I’m currently looking for the cutest packaging for them…once that’s done they will return.
Can we expect some exciting new releases in the near future?
Yes! I’m working on a couple of new products, something new to the shop! Mum’s the word for now, but it’s pretty amazing!

My order: all about concealers 🙂 |
Let ‘s start off with the concealer palette Daydream Corrector (17.99$)
This was a new release when I got it. I’ve always been curious about color correcting concealers, so I decided to give it a try. The all-in-one palette offers 4 shades:
– Yellow : warms up the skin tone, counteracts discoloration, reduces pink/red tones, and hides dark circles.
– Lavender: brightens dull complexion.
– Green: minimizes redness.
– Salmon: neutralizes blue undertones and under-eye dark circle.
The consistency is creamy, but it can be a bit thick. A little product is needed, otherwise it might look a bit cakey. While it does provides a smooth and blendable coverage, I’d advise those with dry skin to prep the skin with a facial oil before, to make sure the product blends nicely.
My favorite of the bunch is salmon, because it covers dark circles wonderfully. The consistency is thicker than RMS un cover-up, and
it doesn’t settle into fine lines. I also enjoy using the green concealer, which does a lovely job at muting the redness. Yellow is the one I use the least, and lavender works great as a subtle highlighter. Of course, the packaging looks super cute and the sleek palette comes with a little mirror, perfect to carry in your purse for a quick touch-up.
Ingredients: Sweet Almond Oil, Shea Butter, Beeswax, Cocoa Butter,Non-Nano Titanium Dioxide,Castor Oil, Iron Oxide, Organic Jojoba Oil, Meadowfoam Oil, Evening Primrose Oil, Avocado Butter, Non-Nano Zinc Oxide,Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Rosehip Seed Oil, Organic Aloe Oil, Neem Oil, Rosemary Extract,yellow oxide,Iron Oxide, Chromium oxide green, Managanese Violet
Now onto my absolute favorite, the Heal & Conceal stick (12$)
The most popular product, judging by the incredible reviews and magazine features. It’s a non-clogging cream concealer in a stick and there’s wait for it…only one shade. A universal shade – yes it works – that blends amazingly well, while providing an impeccable coverage.
I’ve been using this product a lot to cover up those spots on my right cheeks, which are taking ages to disappear. Since I’ve been using it, I can definitely tell that it hasn’t aggravated the problem, on the contrary, thanks to the blend of natural oils (rosehip, evening primrose and neem oils), it has softened the appearance of my skin and reduced the inflammation. I just wish it was long-wearing, because I do feel the need to reapply it on some big spots. I don’t mind though, because it comes in a stick and I can always carry it with me.
Ingredients: Sweet Almond Oil, Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Non-Nano Titanium Dioxide, Beeswax, Castor Oil, Iron Oxide, Mica, Organic Jojoba Oil, Meadowfoam Oil, Evening Primrose Oil, Avocado Butter, Non-Nano Zinc Oxide, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Rosehip Seed Oil, Organic Aloe Oil, Neem Oil, Rosemary Extract.
Swatches: Heal and conceal // bottom row: the natural concealer palette |
Overall, I’m really pleased with what I got, both concealers don’t clog pores and provide great coverage, which is exactly what I was looking for. Glory Boon products are formulated with skin-friendly ingredients. Since they are produced in small-batches, make sure to quickly decide on what you want to get, because the products sell like hot cakes – hopefully the cream blushes will make a come-back 😉
I’ll definitely repurchase the concealer stick, and continue to explore the rest of her line. You can have a look at her shop (here) and follow her on Instagram, where she frequently posts sneak peaks of her new releases (here)
Have you heard of Glory Boon? What’s your favorite product?
Take care,

oooh Liz, thank you! I need to try this concealer 🙂 Je n,ai pas trouver de cache cernes efficaces dans les produits naturel jusqu'à maintenant (peut-être MyChelle) mais il est terminé depuis un bout. J'ai essayé plusieurs plusieurs marque. Merci xx
Mais de rien, tu es toujours la bienvenue! Je n'en ai pas essayé beaucoup, mais je trouve que rms devient trop riche après un certain temps, (toujours cette huile de coco haha). Celui de Glory boon est génial, surtout pour ce prix. Une petite merveille 🙂 xx
ah oui on se tanne de cette huile de coco un peu partout! Depuis que j'ai cessé de l'utiliser j'ai les pores moins bloqués 🙂
I've seen these before on YouTube! Love the look & sound of both. The concealer stick is really handy to put in my bag as I'm always a bit wary of carrying my RMS glass pot!
Oh yes, I don't dare carry any RMS product with me too 🙂 I'm sure you'd love these, both perform really well, and the packaging is super adorable! xx
So nice
Too bad my countty is very hard with cosmetics outside europe 🙁
I understand, my main trouble was the shipping fee. Hopefully you can get to try it at some point 🙂 xx
yeah right Liz? i spoke with her but she didnt intend to help me with customs so i gave up LOL
Looks like a lovely brand! xx
It is! I can't get over how cute everything looks 😉 xx
Ahh, I've got this shop in my Etsy favourites but I'm yet to take the plunge. Concealers are a tough one – I'm amazed that there's only one shade but also intrigued 🙂 Thanks for the reminder and I loved the Q & A at the beginning! x
Oh I was all over that concealer stick until I spotted jojoba, but on the other hand I don't really need any new makeup for quiet some time. Seems like a great brand and price sounds reasonable xx
I've been wanting to try this brand since my obsession with Etsy began! Definitely interested in the Heal & Concealer stick. Lovely review and interview!
Oooh these look great! I'd definitely want to try that cool concealer palette! Love that these are so affordable and that you had a great experience.

Impressed by the ingredients of the concealer stick, though I'm not sure if the universal shade will work for me… Are you using un cover up 02, Liz? Will you be able to do a side-by-side swatch of the 2 products? 🙂
