Glossier reviews and discussion

Glossier for me is a fun easy line to throw on for neutral Saturday morning looks. I tried the skincare early on & definitely vibe with the packaging and small footprint of the bottles. I stuck with some of the sky washes and bronzer as repeat purchases. I like the boybrow but prefer Milk Kush brow for me. It’s definitely for the no makeup/makeup look. It’s fun and youthful and most tones work for everyone.

Future Dew is an oil-serum hybrid that makes you glow like crazy! I normally don’t wear oils during the day because they make me look greasy, but I wear this under makeup and it gives my skin a glowy boost. At first I wasn’t sure if I liked it, but I saw a picture of myself and noticed how dewy and healthy my skin looked! I also like to apply just a few taps on my cheekbones after makeup, just for some extra glow

I've been using Glossier products regularly since 2014? I love the reasonable price point, the limited options (Sephora, I don't need 6,793 moisturizers, I need 3!), and the aesthetic vibe. The pink pouches are my #1 tool for traveling, commuting, and sending protected mail. I've received compliments on lipstick, highlighter, perfume. I've given Glossier as gifts to my 65 yo mother and my 17 yo cousin, and I use it regularly myself. Can't endorse more than that! The Futuredew is a real pandemic/quarantine game-changer for me. If my skin is behaving, all I need is this and some mascara - their Lash Slick is the absolutely perfect everyday, lightweight mascara. I prefer the balms in non-tinted colors (the tint always strays outside my lips and makes me look pretty goofy) and the Boy Brow, though it doesn't last as long as I'd like, is a daily staple. I am annoyed by how much of a fangirl I am, but Glossier gives me exactly what I want at the price I want it.

I like most of Glossier's products (especially the cleansers) and their affordability (relative). However, the skin tint does absolutely nothing. It feels very nice, doesn't pile up in creases, spreads smoothly and evenly, but once it's on, there's 0 difference visibly. So I can't recommend this product specifically.

Glossier has been a long-time favorite in both skincare and makeup for me. I’ve tried a ton of their products over the years, and the standouts are their eyeliners for their formula and rich pigment, as well as Balm Dotcom for everyday use. I just picked up the Magnolia Bakery collab and the bag chain, and I’m hoping they keep the collabs coming. Their branding is on point, I still love the signature pink bubble wrap pouches, and the in-store experience feels fun and welcoming. All around, a brand I keep coming back to.

I'm a long time user of the boy brow from Glossier. It's the perfect hybrid of a gel and a wax and is the finishing look for me and a non-negotiable in my routine. If I could only pick one product to have on before leaving the house, this would be it!

The stretch concealer however was slightly different more dark compared to the skin tint even though I picked the same shade and it creased/looked visible on the skin.

Absolutely love my Balm dot com, Cloud Paint and Generation G lipstick. The perfume smells really fresh and clean too. Glossier is one of the brands that I keep restocking 💕

My first and only purchase… the eye shadow that was sold to me as “perfect for brown eyes” it’s cute but not the best thing for me. I have too many cool undertones but hey, not their fault. Good packaging, good product and perfect for those who love make up!

A mixed but well worn bag: Some longtime faves and some misses! I got sucked DEEP into the Glossier hype back in 2016 from a small but aesthetically beautiful and highly edited ad, which we know now is typical Glossier fashion, for their Milky Jelly Cleanser. No joke - I still use this cleanser almost daily after 7 years. It’s become a staple of mine for its subtlety. I haven’t gotten sick of its mild rose water scent or gentle cleansing abilities and have even gotten roommates hooked after they sampled some from our shared shower lol! I will use Milky Jelly on days when I’m not using makeup, which is most days. When I do glam up, a double cleanse with a remover + heavy duty face wash is required. Since I got sucked into the Glossier cult early, I’ve tried plenty more in their product line. Here are the rest of my opinions: Favorites - Milky Jelly Cleanser: Gentle and effective -Cloud Paint: Blends like a dream, lasts forever -Lidstar: I may be one of the few who really enjoys these! They’re tricky to use with 1 layer but build up so nicely and I love the shades Herb and Lily on my skin tone (I’m Asian with a light-medium complexion) -Stretch Concealer: blendable, pigmented -Lip Gloss: cute, lightweight, not sticky and gives a very juicy effect -Body Hero wash: pretty packaging, lightweight and had a nice scent (powdery + citrus) -Customer Service: I’ve had some great experiences with their team! Decent -Pro Tip Liner: tbh it’s great and I loveee the brush tip for super sharp lines but it runs out way too quick!! -Balm Dotcom: too thick for my liking, there are tons better lip balms out there -Perfecting skin tint: it’s fine, just better out there in this category IMO -Lash Slick: Decent but again, much more and better out there! -Boy Brow: many love this but my brows are too sparse to love this properly :( -Generation G Lip: Fun colors, nothing super special but if you’re a fan of something subtle this is good! -Moisturizing Moon Mask: very cute package, very gentle and pretty hydrating. Def appealing bc of the packaging and I enjoyed this most after popping it in the fridge for a cooling effect -Priming Moisturizer Balance: it’s fine! -Priming Moisturizer Rich: I love the packaging sooooo much but because I have combo skin, found it a bit too thick. I think this would be great for someone with dry skin or ppl who need more hydration in drier/colder climates. Meh -Futuredew: I have combo skin and found this too oily -Glossier You Perfume: I tried so hard to like this one but it just doesn’t do it for me. The pink pepper is overpowering and the scent doesn’t feel very complex (I bought this way before the reformulation and have heard the new one is much more watered down)

Love cloud paint and the old balm dot com formula. After Baume is good but l was scraping the bottom of the jar after less than two weeks... the you deodorant is really nice. I'm not wild about the You perfume but for the deodorant, the scent is nice. It's a sort of clean, baby powder scent. Doesn't leave your pits feeling wet.

I was a Glossier devote from day one, but I will no longer buy anything but their perfume, Glossier You. Everything else I've tried has been a real miss. The main issue I have is the quality of the packaging. It was never oh my god amazing, but I swear it gets worse and worse with each year. Most things I've gotten have been useless within a week or two because the packaging breaks. Below are the other products I've tried and my thoughts on them: Ultralip: pretty formula, but of the three I bought (in case one was a fluke), the cap no longer stayed on after a week, so everything dried out. Generation G: This smells like a bad crayon, and also the caps break. How have they not fixed this. I've bought a few over the years because I want it to work and again, wrongly assumed they had an issue with production, and it's still bad. Boy Brow: I wish they offered more colors - the options they have do not work for me. Cloud paint: I wish this had a doe foot applicator. It either barely comes out or it gushes out. Invisible Shield: I liked the consistency of this sun screen but I went through it really fast for the price of it. It's a pretty small container. I will still buy Glossier You though. No notes, it is perfection.

I love their Generation G matte lipstick. It doesn't make my lips dry or flaky, and the Jam colour still looks light and fun in the summer, even though it's a deep purple. I've bought multiple formulations of it over the years and it still holds up.

My first brand experience was in Glossier's Melrose Ave store in LA. What a dreamland for beauty aficionados. The packaging is girlie yet sexy, screaming "take me home" to me. I've tried the lip gloss and hand cream, and gifted the lip balm duo. Lovely little things that everyone needs to have at least one.

I’ve had the perfume- beautiful fresh musky and cool girl vibes. But the true queens are the bronzer and blush, the pigment is incomparable (Not even rare beauty) and if you only used it without any other makeup it would look completely natural.

The Glossier blush and bronzer are cloud-like essentials—gel-cream textures that melt into skin with airy, buildable color. They feel fresh whether worn over base or bare. As for Glossier You: musky, soft, and clean—like second skin in scent form. It wraps you in warmth but fades too soon. Still, it’s addictive while it lingers. Great return for you buck.

I love the Lavender Balm! It's a great color for me and very moisturizing, it seems like it would be a good balm for overnight. Sorry to see it's already on clearance, purple shades are hard to come by.

I recently tried Glossier’s liquid foundation and I’m honestly so impressed! I’ve used Fenty Beauty in the past, but I actually like Glossier’s formula better. It feels lighter, more breathable, and somehow still gives me that smooth, even finish I’m looking for. I’ve been pairing it with my beef tallow as a base (yes, really!), and it blends like a dream. My skin has been thriving—both while wearing it and even after I wash it off. No irritation, no dryness, just happy skin. I don’t apply it on my chin or forehead, just focusing on the areas that need a little evening out, and it still gives me such a natural glow. I’m adding a photo so you can see how it’s looking on me—no filter, just good light and Glossier magic ✨

I’ve been a Glossier fan since the beginning. The three products I keep coming back for: bow brow, cloud paint, & the You perfume. I know the reformulation of You has disappointed many (myself included) because the scent doesn’t last as long, but I still find the scent of this perfume to be my favorite mix of spice & sweetness. It is bright and warm at the same time and smells incredible on my skin. I don’t mind reapplying a little more often, and have the rollerball in my bag for this purpose whenever I need a refresher. I’ve just picked up the new You Réve perfume today and am excited to try something new from them and see if it’ll become a new staple!

I used to love, love, love Glossier. The products, the branding, the concept - everything. That is, until I went into their physical store in London and felt like the oldest person in the room (aside from the mums and dads). This brand does what it sets out to do and markets to the Gen Z customer. That said, the boy brow has been my go-to from the brand for years and I don't think I'll be replacing it for anything more 'age appropriate' anytime soon. I'm in my mid-30s, FYI. Oh, and I also treated myself to the banana balm recently. Yet to use it but banana is always fun.
