There's no better pastime than testing out the coolest new skincare/makeup/hair trends and innovations in beauty tech from the comfort of your own home. That said, there's nothing more frustrating than spending upwards of £100 on a new at-home facial system or pair of hair straighteners, only to find out they don't *actually* work.
Enter GLAMOUR Tries: the weekly Instagram series which sees GLAMOUR editors do all of the time-consuming (and expensive) work for you.
Stop what you're doing, Jennifer Lopez has new pastel pink hairGallery34 PhotosYep, we've been busy trying out all of the current beauty crazes to take the internet (read: TikTok) by storm – from Dyson's Supersonic Flyaway Attachment (the smoothing hair tool of dreams) to Isle Of Paradise's Pro-Glow Spray Tan Mister and Larry King Hair Care's Flyaway With Me Kit. These are the products every influencer/Gen-Z beauty slueth/beauty editor is talking about on the internet – but that you want to be sure about before parting with your money.
Thanks to GLAMOUR Tries, you won't need to waste your hard-earned pennies on testing these innovations yourself. We're getting in their first, giving you the lowdown and making sure you invest in products that genuinely work. Like what you see? You can shop all of the products seen on GLAMOUR tries in previous weeks down below. Race ya?
On GLAMOUR Tries this week, Editor in Chief Deborah Joseph put JLO Beauty's new Glow All Out Holiday Set to the test. The set includes That Hit Single Gel Cream Cleanser, That JLo Glow Serum, That Blockbuster Hydrating Cream, That Big Screen Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Moisturizer, That Fresh Take Eye Cream, and That Limitless Glow Sheet Mask.
This set is currently only available in the USA, but you can buy the individual products and smaller sets through US Amazon (you'll just have to pay shipping and import fees).

If it's just The Glow Serum you're after, then head to Ninth Avenue where you can purchase it for £159.60.
Deborah cleans her makeup off with That Hit Single Gel Cream Cleanser: “It's got a kind of pearlescent texture to it but it's gorgeous and the amazing thing about it is that it's taken everything off. I don't know about you but I don't have time to be doing a five-step beauty routine every night and every morning. I just want something that's effective and leaves my skin feeling good and my skin feels incredibly clean and smooth and soft, it's not drying at all. This is a brilliant cleanser.” She says.
Next up, Deborah tries the That Limitless Glow Sheet Mask. “Everything says glow, doesn't it? It all seems quite pearlescent - I can see a sort of glitter effect in this as well. It's odourless by the way, which I really like as I hate products where there's a scent I don't like.” She puts the mask on, hooking it over her ears and smoothing it over her face before leaving it to soak in for a few minutes.
“I had the mask on for 10 minutes, it's tingling a little bit but my skin feels great. I feel like under my eyes looks a bit clearer.” Deborah says. “Next I'm going to use the That JLo Glow Serum. It's very lightly fragranced and says to smooth, plump, hydrate and give you a glow. Do I look like JLO yet?”
She then moves onto That Blockbuster Hydrating Cream: “It's infused with hyaluronic acid and is a bit of a funny texture, you have to really dig your finger in to get it out. It feels gorgeous. It's luxurious and I've been using this for two weeks because I wanted to really see what I thought long-term and I think it's incredible. The cleanser and this cream are winners - if I was going to invest in anything again it'd be in those two.”
Deborah finishes up before giving her final thoughts. “I'm really impressed with these, I was expecting it. Sometimes when celebrities bring out beauty ranges I'm a bit sceptical, but actually I think this is incredible. Apparently it has taken her two years to work on and it's completely vegan which I love. Is it worth paying the extra taxes to ship it over from the US for now? I think so!”
