I am a makeup connoisseur. Name a brand of makeup and there’s a 95% chance that I have tried it out. It’s truly an addiction. So, when Glossier continued to pop up on my timeline day after day, I practically HAD to try it out. I placed a hefty order of some of their best-known products; some of which I’ve already gone through!
Balm Dotcom
This product confused me at first, I’m not going to lie. It’s marketed as a “universal skin salve” but I wasn’t entirely sure what I would end up using it as. Despite my confusion, they were running a deal if you bought three Balm Dotcoms so naturally, I had to do it. I got birthday cake which is colorless, mango with an orange tint, and rose featuring a pink tint.
Surprisingly, this is probably my favorite product with mango being my favorite flavor. I use it as a lip balm to give myself a little tint or on my cheeks when I’m not in the mood to use full-on blush.

Clear Lip Gloss
Oddly enough, despite my extensive makeup collection, I do not own a completely clear lip gloss. All of mine have some kind of tint or glitter. Their lip gloss seems to be everyone’s favorite so I gave it a shot.
The gloss is super shiny and gives your lips a look that people will notice without adding a ton of color. It’s an easy swipe on before class kind of look. It even stayed shiny for most of my day! The only downside is that the formula is a bit sticky for my taste but this went away with time.

Boy Brow
I’m not huge on brow products since mine are a little on the thick side to begin with. However, this was marketed as a grooming product so I figured it could help. I got mine in clear to use as more of a gel than a tint.
This pomade ended up working well for me. It only took a swipe or two get my brows where I wanted them. Even though it did the job, I’ve purchased drugstore versions of this that are just as effective.

Cloud Paint
Blush isn’t really one of my most-used beauty products but this one, marketed as super user-friendly, intrigued me. I got mine in the shade Beam, which is a soft peach.
This blush held up to its word; it was super easy to apply and gave me a nice pop of color.

Invisible Shield
Skin care is a must for me, especially during the summer when my skin tends to burn. I’ve tried and been disappointed by many facial sunscreens before so I was a little nervous to try out this one.
To my surprise, this was my go-to all summer! The formula is super lightweight so you can still feel like you have a bare face or even wear it over foundation. It still protected my skin from the sun while keeping it hydrated and dewy. I went through the entire thing and plan to re-purchase!
