As a beauty enthusiast and small content creator, I’m always on the lookout for cosmetics that not only deliver quality but are also affordable. That’s why Glamlite Cosmetics became a staple in my collection early on. From the moment I discovered the brand, I was captivated by its unique approach to makeup—turning everyday indulgences and childhood nostalgia into vibrant, high-quality products that celebrate individuality and creativity. From food to tv shows and movies, the brand consistently delivers eye catching packaging that pulls at this Millennials heartstring.

  I used to be a lipstick only girl. I figured, if all else fails, I can at LEAST put on lipstick. Now, don’t get me wrong, I had a ton of eyeshadows, but it was more of a “I have it for when I need them” type of shopper. As an enthusiast you NEED every limited-edition collection that drops because those are the rules of my life. When it comes to creating content, the world wants to see what’s new and hot NOW! When I first came across Glamlite, it was the infamous Pizza Pallet. I am a sucker for packaging, and I too liked pizza, so it was only right that I added it to my collection. The palette was constantly sold out and still, to this day, I never got my hands on. It was like Willy Wonka’s Golden Ticket.

The first time I was able to own a Glamlite palette was the Paint Palette. It was huge, dramatic and bright. The first thing that stands out is the design packaging. Meant to mimic an actual artist’s paint palette,18 shades are laid out across a wooden palette with also includes a “paint” (eyeshadow) brush. It was STUNNING! When I first saw it on YouTube, I assumed PR packages were much bigger and when my palette arrived it surely would be compact. NOPE. Huge. Again, I am a sucker for packaging. If it looks good on display, I will definitely add it to cart just based off aesthetics. This is where I would soon learn that grand packaging and affordability would be the cornerstone of Giselle Hernandez’s vision.

“I started my brand to prove a point. I believe high quality makeup can be ultra-affordable. Expensive prices aren’t synonymous with high quality. I am determined to beat the quality of high-end eyeshadow pallets, and I won’t stop until I do. The more my brand grows, the more I’ve been able to bring down prices.”- Giselle Hernandez, owner.

Supporting this brand feels personal. Every palette, lipstick, and highlighter embody the passion and vision of its founder, who has redefined what it means to be glamorous. Her story, creativity, and dedication to inclusivity inspire me to continue supporting Glamlite, and I’m thrilled to share why this brand has earned a permanent spot in my heart—and on my vanity.

 One of a thousand reasons the brand stands out is Giselle has the ability to secure some of the most iconic licensed collaborations hands down in the beauty industry. While some brands vie for the typical princess themed collabs, she goes to the uncharted territories of horror films, music, food and cartoons. I mean really, how many more soft pink pastel palettes do I personally need? Let me see what that Friday the 13th color story is looking like! Not everyone looks for the soft cutesy look, some of us want vamp, dark and smokey! For the horror fans, the brand did not disappoint with epic collections inspired by iconic horror franchises such as Chucky, Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm St., allowing fans of the genre embrace their edgier side in the way that feels playful and authentic.  

This brand really knows how to take ordinary makeup products and create high quality experiences. They fuse creativity, pop culture and inclusivity together and it makes each collection more than just another makeup launch- it’s a celebration of the iconic moments that helped shape us making them irresistible.

Another standout feature that makes Glamlite such a fan favorite is how the brand actively engages with its community, especially through Instagram polls. Glamlite takes fans feedback seriously, often allowing followers to vote on color schemes, product names, and even the types of items they want to see next via their GlamliteBTS and Secret Horror Society Instagram Channels. This level of involvement gives fans a sense of ownership and excitement, knowing they have a say in shaping future collections. By listening to their community, they not only deliver products that people want, but it also builds a strong connection with its supporters, making each collection feel personal and tailored to their desires.    

What truly sets the brand apart is its affordability. As someone who isn’t on any PR lists and works with a limited budget, finding products that let me express myself without breaking the bank is a game-changer. Glamlite offers the perfect blend of luxury and accessibility, allowing me to create stunning and creative content without compromising on quality or my finances.

This brand has captured the hearts of makeup enthusiasts and collectors like me. The attention to detail, high-quality formulas, and innovative packaging reflects a brand that is not just about products but about creating experiences. Giselle Hernandez’s vision and Vice President Anthony Ares’s creative influence have built a community that values diversity, creativity, and bold self-expression. I would be honored to continue sharing my excitement for this incredible brand and showcase future collections with the same energy and enthusiasm that her team brings to each new launch. For those who haven't yet experienced the, I truly encourage you to dive in. It’s more than makeup; it’s a movement. And for those of us who’ve been along for the ride, there’s no doubt that this brand will continue to break boundaries and set trends, with Giselle leading the way.

 Wrapping up my thoughts on Glamlite Cosmetics, it's clear that this brand isn’t just about makeup; it’s about embracing individuality, creativity, and confidence. As a devoted consumer and avid supporter, I’ve witnessed firsthand how Glamlite they empowers its community through innovative packaging and a genuine connection with its audience. Each palette, each lipstick feels like a celebration of diversity and self-expression by Giselle and Anthony.
