Glossier reviews and discussion

I'm a long-time Glossier fan, although I find myself purchasing them less since the Balm Dotcom reformulation. (And then re-reformulation?) I still use my remaining Balm Dotcoms as they're moisturizing and have the perfect amount of scent, but I'm not a fan of the new applicator, which gets pretty messy. I also love the peppery fresh scent of Glossier You, although I haven't splurged on the full-size yet. But I love the convenience and cute packaging of the solid perfume version.

I’ve been using Glossier Skywash for years, and while I wouldn’t call it my ultimate holy grail product, it has become one of my most consistent, dependable must-haves. There’s something about the formula that just fits seamlessly into my routine. It’s lightweight, portable, and so easy to throw into any makeup bag without thinking twice. I love how quickly it transforms my eyes with almost no effort.One of the things that keeps me coming back is how buildable it is. You can tap it on with your fingertip for a soft wash of color when you’re rushing out the door, or take a brush to it if you want something more polished and defined. Either way, it blends out beautifully and always looks intentional, never heavy or chalky.The shade range leans subtle and slightly artistic, which I personally enjoy. It’s the kind of product that makes you look put together even when you’re not trying that hard. And because it’s so user-friendly, it works whether I’m doing a minimal makeup day or layering it with other shadows. At this point, it’s a product I will always repurchase. It’s earned a permanent place in my routine.

I purchased the future dew for a dewy glow on a no-makeup day, and it absolutely achieves that! However it does have a bit of a smell (not a fragrance), and half the time I break out the day after using. Love it when it’s on, but if acne prone with oil based products I would skip this one.

I really love their perfume but in the past couple years I havnt loved their makeup. Besides the Bomb.com but even then they changed the fomula and it wasnt my favorite. The perfume however stays so long and it is what I go to when I am just wanting a scent to last all day

I’m officially obsessed with the Glossier perfume. It smells so good—light, clean, and not overpowering at all. It’s subtle in the best way, but people still always notice the elegant scent when I walk into a room. Every time I wear it, someone asks what I’m wearing. I even bought a second balm to keep in my gym bag, and it’s perfect for a quick refresh without being too strong. Highly recommend if you want a fragrance that feels effortless but still gets compliments!

It’s ok. I think the formulas need an update and the brand needs to review who their target demographic is now. Wish they would bring back the Play Vinylic lips. Fragrances are office friendly but not groundbreaking.

I really like Glossier You! It’s soft, clean, and kind of cozy without being too strong. It smells a little different on everyone, but on me it feels warm and natural—like my skin but better. Super easy to wear every day.

I absolutely love the balm dot com lip products! The texture is really nice, and it’s not sticky at all. My lips are always so hydrated after using, and I love the variety of flavors and tints that they offer!

Lash slich is my absolute favourite mascara since it launched. I've repurchased it various times and it's perfect. It gives my ultimate length without making my lashes stick together. I love a natural and defined look and really lvoe that it is buildable if you want a bit more drama.

Hyperpigmentation is something I’ve struggled with, but thankfully, the Glossier Stretch Concealer has my back. I use shade G6, and it’s the perfect match for my skin tone. Just a tiny bit covers my dark spots — I tap it on with a brush, and those post-pimple marks practically disappear.

My friend gave me this Glossier set last Christmas and honestly, it changed my skincare game! ✨ It’s gentle, smells amazing, and gives that natural glow I love 💕

Glossier was the first beauty brand that made me feel like makeup could be fun instead of intimidating. Their products aren’t about covering up, they’re about enhancing what’s already there. I still reach for Boy Brow and Cloud Paint when I want to look put-together with almost no effort. That said, the hype has cooled a bit. Some products feel more about the aesthetic than performance, and the shade ranges could be more inclusive. But there’s still something undeniably joyful about their pink pouches and “skin first” approach. For me, Glossier will always represent the moment beauty felt accessible and personal.

I bought Slip after reading the description and studying the photos, hoping for a soft wash of golden shimmer that would last all day without creasing. On me, the reality was different. The shade reads very sheer and leans silvery rather than golden, which made it look ashy against my skin tone. Even with careful application and three layers, the payoff stayed faint and a little uneven. It also creased within a few hours and settled into fine lines, which took away from the polished effect I was going for. After some wear time it started to feel a bit dry on my lids. There are positives. The formula feels lightweight at first and blends quickly, so it is easy to apply if you like minimal makeup. The shimmer itself is pretty under lights and gives a quiet twinkle that some people will love. If you want a very subtle hint of sparkle that is almost undetectable at first glance, Slip can deliver that kind of look. Since I bought this online, I recognize that expectations can miss the mark. To help shoppers like me, I think it would be useful if the brand stated whether other products were used in the model photos and if a primer was involved. More swatches on a wider range of skin tones and a clear one-swipe versus three-layer comparison would also set expectations. I included two wrist swatches in my review, one swipe on the left and three layers on the right. For my needs, Slip did not match the description and was not flattering. For someone who wants barely-there shimmer and does not mind reapplying, it could still be a fit.

I really liked the color — it gives a natural, super pretty tint to the lips. The texture is comfortable, not sticky at all, and applies easily. Hydration is great, keeping the lips soft for hours without having to constantly reapply. 💖 Verdict: practical, beautiful, and effective — it went straight to my favorites!

I was a no-perfume girlie for years — everything made me nauseous, gave me a headache, or just felt way too overpowering. But then I found Glossier You, and honestly… game changer. It’s the only scent I can wear. My other ride-or-die is the Milky Jelly Cleanser, It’s been part of my skincare routine for years. So I was really excited for the new Milky Balm Cleanser — I thought it’d be like the jelly, just richer. And while the formula feels nice, I was kind of bummed it didn’t have that same signature scent. I was hoping for the full sensorial experience which is part of what i love about my skincare routine. Also, I have to mention: I wish they offered returns or exchanges on merch. I grabbed a limited edition Tshirt, but finding out it was final sale with no flexibility to exchange size when i asked for a different size was a huge letdown (they do NOT make this clear on their product page and hide it in the T&C page. They also did not post my review for the Tshirt when i mentioned this. For such a customer-centric brand, it felt really strange to leave customers so disappointed. I mean who does not offer exchange of size in 2025?!

I loved the vegan formula of the lip balm they had but they stopped being vegan about a month ago so I’ll have to stop buying the product. Their lip balms are pretty popular and worth it you don’t mind buying non vegan balms.

I have quite a few products from Glossier. Among my favorites are the liquid blush, You perfume, Boy brow, and liquid face wash. These are products I continually repurchase. However, I hate the milky jelly. It always dries out my skin and doesn't do a whole lot to remove my makeup. I'm also not a fan of the skin tint or generation g lipsticks. I find the texture of the lipsticks to be off-putting.

Great products, I just made a switch to cleaner ingredients. I wish they would disclose what was used in the "fragrance" in their ingredients in their products.

I recently got the 'You' candle & WOW it is my new favorite candle. I also got the Bopdyhero oil wash & it is such a nourishing body wash for winter! This part is strictly for skincare -- I am a HUGE fan of the new Clarifying Cleanser & After Baume, but the rest of it I'm not a fan of. The products are pretty general and feel like they're for people who have good skin and just want a cool routine. They're definitely not made to tackle skin issues

Can't speak for any other products but loved the boy brow and cloud tint initially. Wish they had more clean ingredients though.
