What can be said about Glossier that hasn't already been said 1,000 times? Every new start-up is trying to be the "Glossier" of their respective consumer category. It's difficult to evaluate the products on their own merits when the mythos surrounding the brand is so strong and pervasive.
Products I would buy again:
- Milky Jelly Cleanser: very soft and gentle on your face, like rose-scented Cetaphil
- Haloscope: provides the right amount of lit-from-within radiance without tipping into strobe light territory
- Cloud Paint: soft, diffuse, but very effective liquid blush. I use this on my cheeks, eyes, and lips and a little goes a long way
- Stretch Concealer: just enough coverage to blot out a zit but not to the point where it looks caked on and obvious
- Generation G: "your lips but better" but like actually. Idk how or why but they really do just look... better
- Boy Brow: perked my brows right up, made 'em very full and fluffy
- Lash Slick: I wear glasses and can't use a mascara that does its job TOO well otherwise I end up with black smudges on my lenses. This mascara gives my lashes a boost without going over-the-top
Products I would not buy again:
- Priming Moisturizer: it was alright, but I've used better moisturizers from other brands
- Zit Stick: didn't seem to do much for my pimples. My acne stickers are much more effective
- Body Hero Lotion + Wash: was not a fan of the scent at all, very floral and cloying
- Skin Tint: a common complaint, it basically disappears the moment you rub it in. You are buying air when you buy Skin Tint
- Lidstar: pretty and glittery, but kind of one-dimensional. Might be nice to dab on top of a matte eyeshadow
- You Perfume: pleasant, unoffensive, ubiquitous. A good intro scent for people just getting into perfume but I've moved on to more exciting fragrances
- Balm Dot Com: it's just tinted Vaseline guys
