Create a skincare routine for your needs, whether it be for the day, night, summer or winter. Track your routine by checking products off as you use them and never miss a step again. Take notes and selfies, so you can monitor how your skin is progressing towards achieving skin that glows. Best of all, your records are saved securely to the cloud, so you can review how your skin progresses over time. KEEP TRACK OF YOUR PRODUCTS With all your beauty products in one place, you can easily find out what you have and what is missing. Keep an eye on the ones that are expiring soon and note down your likes and dislikes. SEE TOTAL SPENDING See how much your collection is worth and how much you paid for each product or per product category. ADD PRODUCTS WITH EASE Adding a product is easy with GlowinMe’s smart search. You can add a product instantly with a simple keyword, such as the name of the colour, the product, or the brand. SEE YOUR COLOUR COLLECTION GlowinMe can help you avoid buying the same colours again. By creating swatch collections of your makeup products, you can easily compare the swatches between different products and make smart decisions on which products to buy next. Use the custom swatch view to rearrange your swatches to your liking. VIEW AND SORT GlowinMe offers various layout views for your needs. Use Single to view more details, Large Grid to view your products nice and large, Small Grid to see more products, and Swatches to see your colours at-a-glance. You can easily sort your products by A to Z, Custom order, Expiry date, and New to Old based on date entered. CREATE CUSTOM COLLECTIONS GlowinMe comes with default collections: My Stash, Wishlist and Favourite to help jumpstart your GlowinMe journey. You can also create custom collections of what is important to you such as products in your travel makeup bag, products to swatch, samples you have tried or want to try, and more! CREATE YOUR OWN CATEGORIES Do you prefer a certain way of categorizing your products? You can easily create custom categories in GlowinMe. Alternatively, you can also choose from our existing list of product categories. When viewing your collection, you have the ability to expand and collapse specific or all product categories! SHARE YOUR COLLECTION Easily share your wish list, collections, and makeup looks with your friends so they know what you have and don't! You can share them as images or as a web link. RECORD YOUR LOOKS You can also upload images of your looks and tag them with the products used. This way, you can easily recall the products used to create the flawless makeup looks.
