  • Love the Glossier Cloud Paint! The color payoff is intense and a little goes a long way. There is a good assortment of colors to match any skin tone and makeup style too! This is a high quality product that's one of my new favorites!

  • I have been a long time fan of this brand, but I have noticed recently that the quality of some of the products has gotten worse. I repurchased the mascara and it became dried out within a month of using. I still love many of their other products - the "you" scent, boy brow, etc., and hope I just got unlucky!

  • BEST LIP GLOSS EVER! They really have high quality products and I’m confident that I will be buying from them for a long time. They have great products over all, great perfume and makeup as well. Highly recommend!

  • I fell in love with Glossier when I visited one of their stores in Washington, DC. Their products are reasonably priced and effective. I'm a huge fan of their milky jelly cleanser and want to try their brow products next.

  • I have tried their blush, and it’s just very natural and easy to use. The fact that this brand is clean and also have a really good price point. I would definitely recommend this.

  • I absolutely love this cleanser. It is so easy to use and seems to completely remove all makeup and impurities. It smells amazing, too. I can always trust Glossier to put out the best products. Highly recommend!

  • The brand has some hero products for sure. The boy brow is top quality and comes in nice shades, but the Balm.com is the best lip blam out there. I have it in 7 different flavors and each are true to the scent and just lovely flattering shades for all skin tones. Super moisturizing and I can't ever be without one!

  • Have tried a variety of products with mixed reviews. Some of the beauty products like the cloud paint, while innovative, are not standout. However, the moisturizers and face creams are super nice and make my skin very soft

  • I like a glossier make up up, its easy and look natural. as a person that does not wear a lot of make up i like the way their makeup looks

  • bring back the old formula for balm dot com!!! I miss it so much and i hate the new one. I have used Glossier for years and am so sad about the old bdc being gone but the other products are ok but not the best

  • Glossier is a beauty brand that excels in creating simple, dewy, and natural-looking products. Their makeup and skincare focus on enhancing your features rather than masking them. Standouts like the Boy Brow and Cloud Paint are effortless to use and deliver great results. However, some products may feel overpriced for their size. Overall, it’s perfect for those who love a minimalist, “no-makeup” makeup vibe.

  • I love their perfume and recently they came out with two additional perfumes that are both really good. Highly recommend recommending before Black Friday is over.

  • I've been purchasing Glossier products for almost a decade now! I fell in love with the brand first — their values, how they hero real people and realistic beauty standards, and the way they would drum up excitement before launching new products. I used to be more brand-loyal but I'm now more product-loyal. There was a visible shift in the brand when Emily Weiss stepped down, and the sense of community was no longer there. Most of their older skincare products are stronger imo — boy brow, milky jelly cleanser, and the You perfume are the items I would repurchase. They don't seem to be innovating as much as before.

  • I love the travel lotion! It’s the perfect, thin size to fit in your bag or purse, and smells so good! I will definitely buy again once I run out :)

  • Loved the scent of You however it wears off very quickly and is very light. I would love more products to come out with this scent so it is easy to layer the scent. I would recommend this scent.

  • I am IN LOVE with the packaging of Glossier. Although, the actual product caused me to breakout but left a nice glowy, dewy feel on my skin, that I loved!

  • I wish I could say their products suck because their fans are really annoying, but some Glossier products are quite nice. Definitely overhyped though! I still can't believe people line up outside the Soho store in NYC.

  • Love the mission of the company and the variety of clean and natural products. I have loved their lip products since the start of the brand. would recommend to others.
