Aesthetic product showcase and swatchesfrom @glossier

Overview

The creator unboxes and swatches three different limited-edition Glossier makeup sets. For each set—the Mini Ultralip Trio, the Mini Cloud Paint Trio, and the Sugar + Spice Balm Dotcom Duo—they first show the collectible tin packaging, then open it to reveal the products inside, and finally apply swatches of each shade onto their arm to demonstrate the color and texture.
