The 7 Glossier Products That We Just Can't Quit
Last month, I paid a visit to Glossier's sleek new store in the heart of Miami's Design District. Ahead of its splashy launch in the Magic City, I was reminded of another kind of magic: The feeling of meeting your favorite beauty products as if for the first time. It didn't matter that I've used Balm Dotcom religiously since it only came in three flavors (it's now available in eight, plus a ninth limited-edition Cookie Butter flavor), and dotted my cheeks with Cloud Paint before cottagecore makeup made it big. While the beauty landscape has undoubtedly evolved over the past decade, we still recall a time in 2012 when Glossier first shook up the industry with its innovative offerings — and, frankly, its well-publicized missteps. Despite the brand's business blunders and ensuing pledge to do better, Glossier has remained a steadfast favorite for the likes of R29 readers, discerning internet reviewers, beauty experts, and influencers.
As I walked among Art Deco-inspired displays featuring counters upon counters of product, I was reminded of the excitement that came with a new Glossier drop. Now that we're in a veritable golden age of amazing new beauty startups — many of them bathed in a familiar barely-there pink — it's become clear that there's more than enough room in the sandbox for newcomer brands to cohabitate with my well-used tubes of dewy balm.
Ahead, I (along with my fellow Shopping editors) share our most beloved Glossier products — the ones that will never go out of style and ones we'll always leave room in our routines for.
