I have tried three products - the foundation, the blurring primer, and the calming face mist. All were poor quality and not worth the price.  yes the packaging and aesthetics are cute, but the quality of the makeup is so bad that it shocks me that influencers have had so much good to say. the foundation did not blend well for me - despite using the primer, the foundation became flaky and peeled, and my skin was moisturized and generally isn't dry. the primer smells like chemicals and also didn't "blur" anything as stated. my old elf primer, which was half the price, was far better. the face mist also smelled like chemicals and didn't feel cooling or skin soothing... nowhere near worth the $24.

Take the reviews on the rem site with a grain of salt. seems like AG superfans will hype her up no matter what. I am a fan of AG's music but her makeup brand has been a disappointment.


I love Ariana Grande and I was so exited to try the brand. I tried the lipstick, lip oil and lip balm and I love the color, consistency and feeling of all three. It’s perfect for gifting or to just buy and keep for yourself!🤍

They make it extremely difficult to return products. Ask you to email them to initiate a return but no one respond. I’ve sent multiple different emails but still nothing. It’s been over 1 week. Don’t bother buying from them. 

I LOVE HOW PIGMENTED THEIR EYES SHADOWS ARE IN THEIR PALLET. Follow my tiktok @maddiediaries to see me try out this products and more like it. 

The customer service is terrible, shipping times are very very long and products just aren't great.

I bought a variety of products from r.e.m bad have mixed reviews. The plumping gloss is fabulous and by far the best product in the line - I would give it a 10/10. I also like the liquid shadow but use it as a highlight rather than a eyeshadow (8.5/10) The eyeshadow pallet is good (7/10) - nothing to rave about and I would likely not rebuy. However the eyeliner and mascara are terrible in my opinion (2/10). Both are super dry, clumpy and not precise. Customer service is also a nightmare- honestly the worst customer service I have had in a long long time. If these were readily available at an Ulta or Sephora I would say you can give them a try but with the terrible customer service I would say this makeup line isn’t worth the effort. 

I just wish the formulations were are great as the packaging.

This was a little disappointing. The packaging is super cute, but the products were largely hit or miss. The eyeshadows were terrible. So messy and hard to work with. The eyeliner was fine at first, but if I’m not wearing primer, they will transfer to my under-eyes. Stay away from the lip stains. They don’t work well at all and emphasize all the dryness on your lips. The lipsticks are not bad. The Tiramisu is that perfect ‘90s brown lipstick. I contacted customer service to return the lip stain and eye shadows, and it took them forever. I had to follow-up, but they took care of my return and refund in the end. 

I have two of the liquid glitter eyeshadows (Fembot & Milkyway) and a plumping glitter lipgloss (Jelly Sandals). I absolutely adore the liquid glitter shadow formula. The applicator is just the right size for distributing glitter gel and is very easy to move around on the eyelid. 
As for the glitter gloss, I just was not a fan of how tiny and cheap that plastic container is. I would have liked a doe-foot applicator for gloss application instead of the top dispenser. The gloss itself is a beautiful formula and the glitters are very reflective, which I prefer! 

I think the products could be more consistent and well formulated.

I really liked the liquid eyeshadow I purchased, but the lip oil I purchased was awful. The lip oil made my lips so incredibly dry, I went back to Ulta the next day to return it. The matte liquid eyeshadow is a bit hard to get used to because it is so so pigmented but once you have it on, it lasts really well. The line seemed really hit or miss to me based on what I purchased and swatched in store. I liked the packaging and branding, though!

The highlights and lipstick are okay. However, if it compared to the price, it soo expensive
