Hey Glisten gang, we’re here for our yearly round up because, let's be real, Glisten just keeps outdoing itself every single year, and trust us, this one's a real dazzler! At Glisten, we're all about turning the ordinary into the extraordinary, and this year was no exception!
New Releases
Pride Liner Charity Update
In May we welcomed a fabulous new charity – Galop! We switch up our LGBTQIA+ charities every six months, and all the profits from our Pride Liner go straight to the charity. Galop is the UK’s LGBTQIA+ anti-abuse charity. They work with and for LGBTQIA+ victims and survivors of abuse and violence. Galop works directly with thousands of LGBTQIA+ people who have experienced abuse and violence every year. They specialise in supporting victims and survivors of domestic abuse, sexual violence, hate crime, honour-based abuse, forced marriage, so-called conversion therapies, and other forms of interpersonal abuse. Our total amount raised will be announced in an upcoming blog in the new year!
Our Feature In Sex Education
In September, we made our dazzling debut in the series of Sex Education season 4! Our products didn't only just sit pretty; they glammed up the cast with makeup magic and even featured in a few scenes. Lights, camera, fabulous!
Photoshoot
Hold onto your makeup brushes because in October, we unleashed a brand spanking new photoshoot for our website! Now, imagine this: the incredible trio of @delatrixqueen, @cleo_pattersonramsey, and @nicola._m took centre stage, turning our makeup into a masterpiece of pure fabulousness! They didn't just pose; they brought our makeup to life!
HMV Stores
In November, Glisten Cosmetics took a giant leap from online glam straight into 35 HMV stores across the UK! You can grab our Circle Splits, Spectra Lash, Spectra Paints, and pre-built 4 Pan Palettes in there! So, next time you're strolling through HMV, keep your eyes peeled for the magic of Glisten!

These products were made into bundles with influencers: @lilbbybokchoy, @noelleplay, @linsmakeuplooks, @irisxgrace, and @chloeisabellah_.
