  • I've been a glossier user since the beginning with boy brow. I loved how simple the skin care was - not having to pick from a gajillion options and just know that these 3 products were all i needed for amazing skin. I've also experimented with their makeup with some variable success - its been hard to color match online but their returns process is so consumer friendly, I really appreciate it! Also now that its in Sephora, you can try before you buy.

  • The lipgloss is so good! I have one with glitter in it and it elevates my looks, all I have to do is apply some lipgloss, and I look and feel like a better version of myself, they are so moisturizing!

  • I've tried a few Glossier products! First of all, I like the vibe and the natural makeup look, so I'm definitely into this sort of thing. I really like my boy brow product and would definitely repurchase that - it's my favorite brow product I've ever tried. But - I did try the fig lip balm and found it gritty and just not for me.

  • I loved the colour and performance of the makeup, but didn’t love that it uses “non clean” ingredients.

  • I find the skincare and face makeup products overly scented which has caused my sensitive skin to break out. The makeup is OK, but I would say best for someone in high school/ younger. The eyeshadow doesn't last long and the lip products are drying. The oil based makeup remover is one product though that I do think is very good and better than most other liquid makeup removers!

  • My one stop shop to glow this summer! Absolutely love the FutureDew and all of the Ultralip shades. I have been using the concealer and blushes for years and just discovered these new products which are equally as great.

  • Decently priced, personally my favorite perfume and lip balm I haven't tried anything else yet

  • Besides the cute branding, I don't think the price is worth what the products do. You can get very similar makeup and skincare for much less money elsewhere.

  • I used to love Glossier and basically only wear that. Now I've swapped some products for other things on the market. Of products I still love: - Future Dew, but only in the winter. - Balm Dot Com, but I have the old formula, not the Sephora-approved one - Body Hero, the oil wash - The concealer. I use this a lot - Lash slick but more often on my eyebrows Things I now swapped: - Future Dew in the summer for Saie Glow Gel - Lash Slick for Thrive Causemetics Mascara - Boy brow for ELF, or I use Lashslick on my eyebrows. Just a light touch of it.

  • Still love their original products (boy brow and cloud paint) but haven´t been intrigued by any of their recent releases.

  • Boy Brow and Cloud Paint are my faves. I feel like my Cloud Paint will last until I die haha! Stores, packaging, the brand's mission, love everything!!!

  • I like this brand but am not 'naturally beautiful' enough to rely fully on their makeup alone. I have some acne/scarring and need more full coverage so would never be able to fully rely on a full face of their makeup when getting ready. I would say their products are good for "aspirational beauty" - wish I could look as good as their models when they show their products. Their fragrance, Glossier You, supposedly meshes with your personal body oils and scents to create a custom smell. I am not sure I'd say that was true, but it did smell really nice :) Also have used their lip balm (Balm Dotcom) and those are really nice too. Offer a subtle flavor/fragrance and a nice glossy look. I think their boy brow is one of the best brow shaders/wands on the market. The best product they have IMO.

  • I have tried quite a few Glossier products and all have been very good. I like their clothing too. I would rebut their SPF, cloud paint and mascara but I haven’t had an item I didn’t like yet. I like brow boy too but couldn’t find quite the right colour for me. They are online but have had a few pop-up stores and its been exciting to go in and browse.

  • I had an amazing experience with this brand! With their products I can achieve that glass skin but cute girl look that’s raving all over social media! My lips are quenched and stay moisturized all day. My skin has a natural dewy look and I’m in absolute heaven with how my skin looks!

  • My favorite products are the boy brow and the lashslick! Lash slick is great for everyday mascara wear, as it is a but more natural on. My only qualm with it is that it does dry up quicker than my mascaras from other brands, so it has to be used quicker.

  • Iconic and the blueprint brand 🦋 I tried their Glossier You fragrance and completely fell in love with how it was sweet and peppery the scent was. I sprayed it at the store and knew I had to purchase on the spot. Ive gotten many complements & questions to what fragrance I wear!

  • I have been buying Glossier since 2016 and I *still* love their products. I consistently use After Baume, Balm Dotcom (Wild Fig is my favorite), Milky Jelly Cleanser, Milky Oil, the Invisible Shield sunscreen, and Lash Slick. My advice to those trying Glossier: skip on the No. 1 Pencil, Brow Flick and Pro Tip. They're alright, but Glossier's skincare is far better than its makeup in my opinion. And of course, Glossier You is amazing!

  • The products were pretty good. I've tried the boy brow and the concealer, but I was looking for a more eco friendly option. They have cute branding, but aside from that I don't think the products are exceptionally innovative or sustainable.

  • I purchased the Glossier solid perfume after reading about all the hype of how it adjusts to your body chemistry. It was just ok for me. It smells like deodorant when I put it on. Underwhelmed, to say the least. It might be good for others. I'll probably give it away.
