My Review

My Review of The Glossier Lip Glaze
My Review of The Glossier Lip Glaze

Texture & Formula: Creamy with a Fresh Mint Kick

The first thing you notice when applying Glossier Lip Glaze is the texture. It’s creamy yet lightweight, giving lips that smooth, balmy cushion without any of the tackiness that can ruin a good gloss.

There’s a definite minty tingle, which feels cooling and fresh but never overwhelming. It’s that perfect middle ground between invigorating and comfortable. If you’re sensitive to mint, don’t worry, it’s not a stinger, just a subtle cooling effect. If you hate mint, it’s worth noting that the minty feeling is quite long lasting, so these may not be for you.

Shades & Sheerness: Easy to Wear Everyday Tints

Each shade in the Lip Glaze range is incredibly sheer, which makes them super flattering and versatile. These aren’t bold pigment-heavy glosses. They’re sheer washes that enhance your natural lip tone and layer over liner or lipstick if you want more punch.

Featured Shade: “Icy”: A Nostalgic Favourite

Icy is the pale blue-toned clear gloss that has my heart. It immediately reminded me of the first-ever gloss I bought from Benefit years ago. It was a translucent gloss that promised to make your teeth look whiter. That one’s been long discontinued, but “Icy” brings back all that glossy nostalgia in a modern, hydrating formula.

Though it looks blue in the tube, it applies mostly clear, adding a subtle cool tone. A great throwback moment for me!

Finish & Wear: Glossy, Plumping Look Without Stickiness

The finish is plump, juicy, and glassy. There’s no shimmer just a jelly-like shine that wears well for a gloss. It does fades after eating or drinking but reapplication is quick and easy, and actually feels good because it boosts hydration each time you swipe it on.

Hydration & Comfort: Like Skincare for Lips

If your lips are often dry but you hate sticky formulas, Glossier Lip Glaze is a win. It feels moisturising without slipping off, and while it doesn’t replace your lip balm entirely, it definitely adds a hydrating layer throughout the day.

I’d say it feels more like a gloss than a lip oil, but still manages to keep the lips feeling soft.

Who Should Try It?

Glossier Lip Glaze is perfect for anyone who wants a subtle, wearable gloss with a bit of extra care built in. It’s not for those looking for bold pigment, but if you love a “your lips but better” vibe with a fresh twist, this is it.

If you are looking for something more on the budget end, that also leaves a stain on the lips, check out NYX Lip IV Hydrating Gloss Stain Review and Swatches.

Space NK Skincare Starter Kit

Out of the two Space NK starter kits, I think this is the one to go for because it contains so many of my favourite products in absolutely brilliant sizes. Plus it has the latest launch from Ultra Violette, the new Future Fluid zinc-based SPF 50 in the cutest bottle ever!! Read my Ultra Violette Future Fluid SPF 50+ Superlight Mineral Skinscreen Review for more info on that. I love it.

I also really like the Sunday Riley Autocorrect Eyecream and the 3ml is a big enough size for you to test out an eye product to see if you want to invest in the full size.

I am also a big fan of Kate Somerville’s Goat Milk Cleanser and it pairs nicely with the Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant. Plus you get the cutest pot of the Tatcha Dewy Skin Cream which is the quickest fix for glowy skin and absolutely gorgeous under makeup (but make sure you don’t use too much if you want your base to last).

All in all, I think this is a brilliant edit. By my calculations it is worth £64.15 so you are getting a really good value saving.

This one is actually better value for money than the skincare one, as it costs £25 yet has a higher value of £75 and contains all full sizes. I still prefer the skincare one though as I think it is more versatile, and this makeup edit very much depends on whether you like the shades.

The Kosas lip liner is really cool as it’s super long lasting and also has a sharperner and brush on one end, and the brush is actually really good! It is really handy to soften any harsh lines before the product sets down. It’s a full size.

The Glossier Cloud Paint is also a full size and they are really nice blushes although I am not sure that Beam is everyone’s cup of tea. It is a lovely soft peach shade but it’s not always an obvious choice for a blush that suits all skintones.

There’s a mini beautyblender too which I know some will love, but personally I will always be a brush girl and not a sponge girl.

I am excited to try the clear brow gel from Rare, which is also a full size, and I think that one will be a real crowd pleaser.
