Glam of Sweden was launched in 2014 and is based in Tomelilla, Skåne. And ever since their launch, they have given cheap priced makeup a new meaning. They have a passion for doing things differently, and they wanted a new way of selling makeup. Their idea was “pick & Mix”, a whole new concept in the beauty industry. And their products would be found in stores where we do our daily shopping.
Glam of Sweden does powders, eyeshadows, mascaras, false lashes, face masks, and a lot more. The manufacturing is according to EU standards and no products are tested on animals. Not all of their products are vegan, but a big part of it.
We had the amazing opportunity to try out some of their makeup and skincare range! And we wanted to share our first impressions of all of them.

Review
My absolute favorite from these goodies, is the creamy concealer, face primer and eyeliner. The concealer covers really well and comes handy when cleaning up around your eyebrows. The face primer makes the foundation one with your skin. And the eyeliner gives a glossy result and the tip makes it easy to create a wing. I also really liked all of the nail polishes, they were so easy to apply and dried fast. The chrome one was extraordinary and I’m sure I will use it plenty of times!
You can find Glam of Sweden at selected Netto, ICA Maxi, Willys and City Gross. Visit their Instagram to get some makeup inspiration!
