Reviews mention

  • Effortless, natural finishes
  • Compliment‑magnet signature fragrance
  • Easy, finger‑friendly application
  • Lightweight, comfortable textures
  • Sheer, short‑wear formulas
  • Inconsistent packaging durability
  • Limited inclusive shade range
  • Skincare feels basic, irritating

Glossier earns praise in reviews for effortless, “no‑makeup makeup” staples—Boy Brow, Cloud Paint, Lash Slick, Stretch Concealer, and the cult Glossier You fragrance—delivering easy application, natural finish, and frequent compliments on scent. Reviews also flag weaknesses: very sheer coverage and short wear for some makeup, reformulations (Balm Dotcom, You) with reduced performance, packaging flaws (leaking, cracking, tiny sizes), limited shade range, and skincare that can feel basic or irritating. If you want quick, finger‑friendly, natural polish and a signature skin‑scent, it works; if you need high pigment, longevity, or targeted skincare, look elsewhere.

  • This is really similar to the Naturium oil body wash, but scented! It's very floral, almost too soap-smelling. I like it, but the bottle is pretty small, and it takes a lot of pumps to get enough soap to use. Probably won't rebuy for the price, but would try other things from them!

  • This is my favorite lip balm, and I use it every day/night to hydrate my lips. It works very well and doesn't cause them to be more dry afterward. I prefer the original formula. The tinted ones are great, too! I love the Fig flavor and color; it's very natural and like MLBB for my medium skin tone.

  • I'm obsessed with lip balm so even though I didn't actually need it, I couldn't resist buying the holiday deal of a bundle of 5 Balm Dotcom lip balms in colors/flavors I selected. First of all the balm itself feels amazing and moisturizers well. Two of the balms were deep tints, one was a light tint, and the other two were untinted. I would highly recommend this brand based on my experience so far and I am excited to try other products like cloud paint and boy brow.

  • I bought this and then forgot about it. Rediscovered it recently and I don’t know what I was waiting for! So creamy. Great for light contour or just a bronzed look. Lasts forever too. Lightweight and subtle.

  • I have tried a few of the balm dotcoms. I like the fig one because of the subtle shade/smell. I am not a fan of the birthday one. It's a clear shimmer but I've noticed that the glitter seems to separate from the base if it sits for a while in the heat.

  • This is not a foundation, therefore it will not provide much coverage. This is a skin tint, to help even out skin tone and give a ‘your skin but better’ look. This is lightweight and really melts into your skin, giving it a very natural look. I love wearing this in the summer. This is not for you if you are looking for full coverage.

  • I love this perfume! It’s such a unique scent, and the smell lasts for a full day if not longer. It’s really great for the price. The one negative is I get a bad rash if I spray it around my neck, but I just avoid that area!

  • I prefer a more 'no makeup makeup' look and that's why I love Cloud Paint. I think I've been using the colors Puff and Dusk for over 10 years. I love how easy to apply they are (just tap with your finger and voila), and I love the sheer, buildable formula. I often mix Puff and Dusk for a sun-kissed flush hue. I've also used them on my eyelids for a subtle wash of color. The price is amazing, too. Love them!

  • Not even sure how many years I've been using Boy Brow but we're approaching or past the decade mark. I'm not huge on makeup; if I find something that works and is in my budget, I usually stick with it. That's the case with Boy Brow. Not a day goes by where I'm not using it to instantly perk up my entire face. I have fairly light brows and I do dye them periodically, but Boy Brow just makes it so easy to brush and go. Though my eyebrows are a light brown color, I prefer the color Black to any lighter shade. My only issue with it is that when you start a new tube, so much product comes out on the brush that I have to scrape it off onto the tube before applying. It's a small inconvenience and this is still in my top 3 makeup products of all time. I always have several on hand.

  • Truly a “signature” scent that smells amazing on everyone. It does linger, but not overpower. Everyone who hugs you will compliment it, but you don’t get stopped on the street. So warm, not too feminine, not too masculine. I keep repurchasing.

  • I like how pigmented this product is, but sometimes I have issues with it clumping up throughout the day and looking dry and crusty. I’ve noticed that I have to be careful of what products I use under it and the brow gel I put on top.

  • I’ve used the boy brow for as long as I can remember, at least 5 years at this point. I’ve tried other brow gels but I always end up coming back to this one because of how pigmented it is and how well it holds my brows.

  • This perfume!!! 10/10 - I get compliments all the time and have gifted to so many of my friends and family! This is such a beautiful scent and smells different on everyone! It such a light crispy fragrance, that can be used daily!

  • So underrated in the gentle cleanser category. Most gentle or basic cleansers dry my already parched skin out wayyy too much, or they just don’t do enough when it comes to keeping skin clear acne. This one’s gentle enough to use on my eyes—and I’m talking full on scrubbing with your hands—and it helps get any leftover makeup off. It doesn’t necessarily get rid of a pimple overnight but I’ve noticed my skin stays clear overall when using it

  • one of the most highly complimented scents i wear; it is absolutely captivating with a breathable, fresh, light top layer but once it dries a nice deep floral sweet smelling finish. overall glossier you just gives that girl and it’s a must if you have an extensive perfume collection and like sweet scents & are on the fence about this one

  • I love their jelly, milk Cleaner. it’s super gentle, especially for my acne skin. It does not give me redness. I love how lightweight it is and how smooth my skin feels after washing it using this product in the morning and at night.

  • This is such a versatile product that i love using for my lips but also just for on the face. The cherry one is nice for a little lip tint but also on the cheeks for a little natural color. I’ve tried the other flavors as well and honestly find the fruit flavors the best. Love the packaging too!!

  • Meu Deus que produto incrível e maravilhoso, eu realmente estou muito satisfeito com este produto, minha pele está incrível e com uma textura sedosa e leve, sem dúvidas foi minha melhor comprar, estou amando ele 😻

  • Produtos de Beleza é Tudo Que Uma Mulher Deseja e Esses São Maravilhoso. Um Ótimo Presente de Aniversário e no Dia Dos Namorados.

  • lovely shade of red, lasts forever. definitely need to layer with moisture before and after as it's pretty matte. seems like they have been rebranding lately, excited to see what their next step will be.
