I have this highlighting balm in the shade cava which is a gorgeous champagne tone. I love that the finish is radiant and shimmery rather than sparkly as it provides a much more natural look than other highlighters in my collection. It can be used for a nice subtle look or layered on for a full glam look. The best part is that it adds moisture to your face in addition to its highlighting and it has a very buttery/creamy texture that applies very smoothly. -

I have this in the shade starglow. I wear this product on my bare face and it gives a very glowy look. After wearing for a few hours the shine can start to make your face look a little greasy/oily instead of glowy though. This is likely due to how wet it applies, making it better for those that like a dewy look as those who prefer a matte look likely will not like this product. One of the first things I noticed when I used this product is the smell. It has a very distinct scent to it so I would not recommend this product to anyone that is sensitive to scents especially given that it goes on your face. If I'm just wearing mascara and want to elevate the look just a little bit then I will use this, however, if I am doing a full makeup look I will reach for other highlighting / illuminating options first. I am unsure if I will purchase again due to the overwhelming scent. I would also like to see how long the product stays good for given that it is a clean beauty product and lacks certain chemicals that help to preserve beauty products. -

I first tried this product after receiving a sample of the original berry lip sleeping mask in the Sephora birthday gift. I have since purchased the full size in vanilla and I love the applicator that comes with the full size as I do not have to touch the product with my fingers this way. This is especially convenient as I apply it right before I go to sleep, so now I can apply it after I get into bed without having to go rinse my hands after. I have very dry chapped lips as a result of picking them and this formula is soft enough to apply at the end of the day without hurting my lips and provides them with enough moisture overnight to wake up with my lips feeling softer and smoother. The berry scent is really sweet but I prefer the vanilla for night time use as it is more subtle. I was hesitant to spend so much on a lip sleeping mask that likely would not even be seen on my lips by others, but the amount of product that comes in the container will last quite a long time and I find it helps me to wake up with a nice smooth base to apply other lip products to during the day. I do think that there are other more affordable alternatives such as vaseline, however, those leave a thicker residue and so I prefer the lighter formula of this product for overnight use. -

I have the lip gloss in the shade holographic. It applies clear with the prettiest pink sparkle to it. However, as much as I love the way it looks, the formula is super sticky and feels thick and goopy once applied to the lips. Additionally, with Glossier currently only being available online, it is not as accessible as other lip glosses. I do not think it is worth the price or effort of obtaining when there are similar products on the market that have either nicer and smoother formulas or better accessibility with the option to purchase in store. -

This clear eyebrow gel will hold your eyebrows in place all day. I like to use it to achieve the fluffy eyebrow look that is sometimes achieved with soap. I find this is more effective than soap and safer as it is meant to be used on your eyebrows / near your eyes. It would also be good for taming your eyebrows and keeping them shaped the way you want them to be. The tiny spoolie applicator is helpful for controlling how much product you add.Be careful not to apply too much of the product or your eyebrows may feel slightly stiff. Given that you can buy this product at the drug store I would say it's a good product for the price point and in terms of accessibility. I removed a couple of stars for the quality because I have noticed discrepancies between different batches. The first time I purchased the product the consistency was nice and thick like a gel should be but the second time I noticed it was more liquid. -

I purchased this item in the shade Hope. It is a beautiful dusty rose colour and adds a very pretty flush to your cheeks. I am very fair and have found that I only need a single dot on each cheek to blend out in order to achieve the pigment that I am aiming for as it is a VERY pigmented product. The reason that I only selected probably rather than definitely for purchasing this product again is because I do not know when I will need to repurchase. This product will definitely last a long time even with regular wear as very little product is needed per application. As for it's price point, the blush is not cheap but it is not as expensive as luxury makeup brands either and given the lasting power and how much use you will get out of the product the price is justified for this high-end product. -
