Glossier is an awesome brand which doesn’t only offer makeup products but skincare, fragrances and much more! I’m not entirely sure as to how good their products are, apart from reading some reviews, as I’m just starting to get to know them. So to first time try one of their products I decided to go for the lip gloss.
If you’d like to know how this product performs then continue reading this glossier lip gloss review!
By the way, they are a cruelty-free brand however not all their products are vegan, you’ll have to look out for the vegan logo to make sure.
Quick overview:
Pros
- Great applicator size
- Easily removable
- Leaves lips soft and moisturised
- One swipe is enough
Cons
- Limited shade range
- Felt a little sticky
- Not so great when applied over other lip products
Shades
There are originally 3 shades in the glossier lip gloss line however they decided to add a limited edition colour.
You have a choice of purchasing between a ‘clear’ hue, ‘holographic’ which is a silver shade, ‘red’, that’s of course a red, almost translucent and last but not least a ‘gold’ that is limited addition. Since the gold is limited edition it most likely won’t be available for long.
I decided to buy the ‘clear’ one as I can use it on top of other lipstick finishes to add colour.
I mean to be honest they all have the see through element to them so technically all can be used on top of other lipsticks but the clear shade is just my preference.
Shade selection = 5/10!
Application
The glossier lip gloss comes with a doe foot applicator which is fuzzy, just like the usual lip products I have. The brand mention how the applicator scoops up the right amount in one swipe but did I find this to be true?
Certainly, I found that I only needed one coating to give me the shine that I wanted. The applicator size is just right too for my thin lips, not too big neither too small.
Applying it over other lipstick finishes is just as easy as applying the gloss on it’s own. When applying on top of matte or other lip products I recommend prepping well beforehand.
It really depends on the lip finish, the lighter the lip finish the more suitable. With mattes you got to let it completely dry before going over.
Application = 8/10!
Lastage
I find many lip glosses tend to not last very long, the most probably being around 5 hours before they need topping up again.
The glossier lip gloss is no different, it sticked around for approximately 4 hours till it was visible no more. The glassy finish seemed to gradually fade towards the 3rd hour.
I did notice the lastage was drastically reduced when eating or drinking, lasting a total of 2 hours.
Lastage = 7/10!
Texture
Glossier state their lip gloss is a ‘high shine without the stickiness’, which to me sounds very appealing.
I know from collecting different lip glosses that they often suffer from the same problem which is the euak sticky feeling!
So was this lip gloss any different?
To some extent, I’d say it was 50/50. At first, I didn’t experience any issues with the texture however when I started to reapply due to the results fading as well as lose of performance, my lips felt sticky. My hair did get stuck as well in the formula after a while of wearing it. It wasn’t a nice feeling!
The consistency of the glossier lip gloss is not bad though. It is a little gloopy which I’m not too bothered about as long as it is not runny then that’s fine.
Removing this product is pretty easy using a makeup remover. Water alone leaves a little formula behind so I think it’s not the best option to get rid of it.
Another thing I liked about this item is the ingredients. They were quite gentle with my lips and actually kept them moisturised for a little while.
I have really dry lips so crack often, sometimes even when moisturizing beforehand.
I think this is down to the gloss being made with ‘vitamin E acetate’ and ‘jojoba oil’ which is known to leave lips feeling moisturised and soft.
Texture = 7/10!
The verdict?
So overall I give the glossier lip gloss a rating of 7/10! I like the subtle sheen, the cool ingredients as well as moisturising effect. However it would be great if there were more shade’s available.
I think this lip gloss would be suitable for anyone looking for a moisturizing high shine gloss who isn’t deterred by a little stickiness! However if you are going to be eating and drinking quite a bit then I wouldn’t recommend unless you don’t mind reapplying since it does seem to vanish as you consume!
Or if you are expecting to receive more colour then I suggest you check out other lip products with a little more tint like the glossier ultra lip which not only adds colour but hydration too!
Have you purchased any of glossiers products? What do you think of them? Let me know in the comment section below!
Oh and whilst you are here, you could check out my review on the Glossier liquid eyeliner, both bought at the same time!
Or if you prefer lipsticks then I suggest you check out glossiers generation g lipstick!
Right that’s it for now peeps, hope you enjoyed reading the glossier lip gloss review!
Have a great day!?

Hi Sariyah! That was a great article. I might check this out for my wife. It sounds like a pretty good product. Thank you for that. My wife uses Burt Bee’s champagne colored lip gloss. But I think it would be worth getting her a bottle of Glossier lip to try. L, Sam
Sariyah
Hey thanks for the comment! Yh I would agree, I think the glossier lip gloss would probably be a great alternative, they both are quite similar shades!

Hi, i actually prefer lip gloss to lip stick or anything else, alot of times i find myself just using chapstick, cause i too have dry lips, but its not as pretty as lip gloss, i think it is a great product! i myself use to sell all pure, clean, & vegan products! i dont think alot of people realize what regular makeup is made from, yuck,lol. so i love the fact that it is cruelty free! i think your set up is very beautiful & neat looking! keep up the good work!

To be honest I have not heard of the Glossier brand before, so I am not familiar with any of their products. I have I think 2 lip gloss but they are not that good.
Not surprise though it was cheap. I might try out this one and even the red lip gloss it would be really nice with a red dress. Thanks for your honest review.
I am looking for a good foundation as well. Have you read any review on their foundations. If you have share can you please paste the link.
Sariyah
Hey fatoumata thanks for the comment and your welcome!
I think red would look gorgeous with a matching dress!
There are reviews on my site of foundations depending on your skin type too! Below I’ve linked a few:
Best vegan foundation- Have you tried them!
Vegan foundation for acne prone skin!
Vegan foundation for oily skin- That make a difference!

I’m especially fond of vegan products, knowing that they’re made from clean sources that keep members of the animal kingdom out of it. When it comes to cosmetics, I personally feel going vegan is not just the humane thing to do, but also a healthier option. The less chemical (and animal by-product) involved the better.

Hi Sariyah, Thank you for reviewing the Glossier Lip Gloss. It sounds like it would be a good product for any of us who want those lovely shiny lips. I like the fact that you can add a silver or gold tint if you wish over your existing lipstick. It certainly seems to have the same staying power as other lip glosses, so definitely worth a try. Thanks so much.
Sariyah
Hey Jenni thanks for the comment!
cool right? Being able to add that touch of magic on matte shades! The staying power isn’t bad either!

Hi Sariyah. Interesting post. I did read your post because my two teenage daughters asked me if I could buy them lip gloss products. I need to be honest, I didn’t even know what that was… LoL… I now know a bit more after reading your post. What do you think, is this product ok to use for my 13 daughter?
Sariyah
Hey Markus thanks for stopping by!
You sure learn something new everyday! And yeh of course it should fine, I mean it contains vitamin E and jojoba oil, it’s light too, what could go wrong!

Thank you for reviewing this glossier lip gloss. I am not a fan of sticky lip gloss but I do know that it’s necessary if you wanted to stay on. It is impressive that it stayed on for 4 hours. I can’t usually find a liquid that stays on for more than 1 or 2 but then 1 or 2. Totally feel you’re on the hair getting stuck in your lip glass situation by the way. Also calso, it is hard to find a live glass that is sticky enough to stay on but doesn’t leave your lips feeling cracked and gritty towards the end of where. It seems like this gloss is a happy medium between the bows, leaving your lips moisturized moisturized without getting too sticky sticky to take off. Thanks again

I am always looking for vegan cosmetics, but when it comes to different shades of vegan cosmetics not many are offered. I prefer lip gloss over lipstick, as lipstick does not fit my style. The reason I just wear lip-gloss is to get better accomplishments, when I wear lipstick always get feedback that the shade is too bright or doesn’t fit my skin tone.
Parameter
Although you start by expressing your doubt on the quality of their product. My wife and I feel it’s essential we see your opinion. The Glossier lip gloss may not be too different from the open market. Following its last, that covers a few hours, and its a pretty good application. She -my wife- testify on the last age of lips gloss. Thank you for another detailed work

Thank you for sharing this review on the Glossier lip gloss review. Although I do not often wear lip gloss, I do like to use it when I go out and want a more special look.
But with a verdict of only 7 out of 10 on lasting, and also only 7 out of 10 on texture, I would be looking at better products when it comes to lip gloss.
Sariyah
Hey Line thanks for stopping by!
Lip glosses generally aren’t as long lasting as other lip products like matte lipsticks. There main aim is to provide shine as well as hydration and some subtle tint.
With the glossier lip gloss I would say the lastage is average.
Have a great day!

Read your comment with interest. My wife and daughters use gloss, my wife lipstick and gloss, my daughters just gloss. I am surely going to tell them to check out your website for their questions about makeup and their makeup needs. They will also be very interested in healthy body lotions. Please do recommend some body lotions wuth nice scents and healthy ingredients.
