  • Effortless, natural makeup effect

Glossier impresses in reviews for delivering easy, natural-looking makeup—standouts include Boy Brow, Cloud Paint, Lash Slick, and the much‑praised Glossier You fragrance—while drawing criticism for ultra‑sheer coverage, inconsistent longevity, and packaging flaws. Reviews say the brand is good for “no‑makeup makeup” days and everyday scent, but skincare feels basic and shade range and recent reformulations (You, Balm Dotcom) disappoint some users.

  • not sure I am the brands target audience for the products, I tried a few and they were okay! The balm dot com specifically the cherry is nice but you can definitely find a lip product more affordable that gives the same affect with colour

  • Fantastic perfume. My favorite yet. Makeup is good but overrated.

  • Cute packaging, the products themselves are really light and good - with amazing ingredients. Love this brand!

  • First off, the scent is absolutely divine. The intoxicating aroma of freshly picked berries transports you to a whimsical berry field, leaving a deliciously sweet fragrance that lingers on your lips. It's like a delightful berry-infused dream come true! The texture of the lip balm is smooth and velvety, gliding effortlessly onto your lips. Its nourishing formula instantly melts upon contact, providing deep hydration without any greasy residue. I was amazed at how quickly it absorbed, leaving my lips feeling supple and moisturized for hours on end. What sets Glossier's Berry Lip Balm apart is its stunning tint. The sheer berry hue adds a subtle, natural flush to your lips, making them look irresistible and effortlessly kissable. It's the perfect touch of color that enhances your natural beauty without overpowering your overall look.

  • The only products I have used from this brand are the balm dot coms. I hate to admit they’re not my favorite. I personally did not find them to be comfortable on my lips at all. The scented ones also have a bad taste to them. While I’m not eating the lipgloss obviously, if I lick my lips or drink something with it on it naturally gets into the mouth. I would love to try their other products though but the lip balms just didn’t work for me.

  • Very hit or miss for me— some products, like the Boy Brow, are an instant re-buy, but I have yet to try a skin product that applied well or looked natural on the face.

  • Love all their makeup! Affordable, catchy packaging.

  • Beautiful packaging but also great products...which is a must have! Too many brands that look great but don't deliver.

  • Affordable products that promote minimal routine! I love their serums and body wash and fragrance! It smells different on everyone and I love the way it smells on me!

  • My experience w/Glossier products have been overall positive but mixed depending on the product. Absolutely love the Boybrow serum but not a massive fan of "Lidstar" as it seems to get creased throughout the day. That being said, I love the initial look

  • THE PERFUME GUYS! I discovered this back in 2021, I have not turned to any other perfume since. It’s my signature scent, I get complimented wherever I go, I literally leave a trail of my scent wherever I sit or stand for a while. It’s in my hair, stays on my clothes when I’ve even washed a few times. I love love love it. Thank you glossier!

  • Love so many of the products! Especially the boy brow

  • Obsessed with the brand experience. GOing into a Glossier store is so lovey. They have an incredible perfume and all of their makeup products are very minimal which is great for someone who wants a natural makeup look. Only con I would say is the cleanser doesn't agree with my skin and breaks me out, which is a shame because it smells so lovely

  • I love the shine it gave my lips! It was very long lasting, the one thing I didn’t like was how sticky it is.

  • Love the blush and Glossier You!

  • I absolutely loved my concealer pot. It lasted me years in my purse and I always kept it for emergencies. The con site my was so creamy and blended so well!

  • I tried Boy Brow in the color medium brown. I was instantly impressed with the quality and pigment of the brow gel. I like that Glossier products are not stiff and bleed color unlike some brands.

    Invested in Glossier
  • Though I've gone on to add other brands to my kit, I've found the tried and true glossier classics have made the cut for at least 4 years. They're all well pigmented, bendable, and don't make my skin angry; cloud blush, boy brow, balm dot calm, and few fun colored eye liners. Despite not being in my current dopp kit, I've also enjoyed their travel size skincare, different lipsticks, and tinted moisturizer.

  • I used to looove their original balm dot coms. It feels like they’re slowly been silently cheaping out on some of their most popular products like their perfume, solid perfume. balm dot com, etc. Although they are trying to be more sustainable so it’s hard to maintain both luxury and sustainablity.

  • I haven’t tried many products from this brand, but they are all so high quality and amazing
