Recently, the brand Glossier has been blowing up! You may have seen them all over Instagram, Youtube, and other social media sites. They are known for their minimalist makeup and skincare products that are different than most because they are so versatile.

In addition to being versatile, I love their products because they enhance your natural features.

Most of their products are creams or liquids rather than powders which I like because I find that powders feel heavy.

On top of having amazing products, a lot of people visit their stores for the unique shopping experience. Glossier is different than most beauty and makeup stores because of its Instagramable atmosphere. I visited the stores in both NYC and LA, and they opened the LA store only a few weeks ago. The two stores are very similar, but when I went to the NYC store, it was packed with people. I decided to go to the LA store on a Monday morning where there was way less people because I learned my lesson by going to the NYC store on a Saturday afternoon!

Something to know when you visit a Glossier store is that they do not take cash, only credit card. They take orders on iPads and then package your products that you bought and hand them out to you in a matter of minutes after you have paid, so there is no cash register. The bags they hand out to you with your products also include lots of free stickers and samples!

A cool feature in the LA store is something that they call “The Canyon.” It is a canyon themed walkway and there is a mirror at the end of the walkway to take super cool pictures.

Overall, I would say that I am a big fan of Glossier’s products and that I have not yet disliked something they sell. I would also say that my experiences at both the NYC and LA stores have been awesome, and that the two stores are very similar!
