I heard nothing but good things about about Glossier's new location in Boston, MA on Newbury Street by Mejuri and New Balance. The general buzz online about people going here influenced me to check it out for myself. The outside of the makeup/beauty store is a bit neutral but a nice pink and green combo throughout. In addition, the store has various mirrors throughout to try makeup on and some photo opportunities as you wish.
Before getting inside however, there was a line to get in and people were getting rotated in as people left the store. I decided to wait in line and it took about 10-15 min tops which is not bad. Although, if you're in a hurry and trying to get in and out then I wouldn't recommend waiting in line.
Everything inside the store is a tester so you can test products you may be interested in which makes this store among many (Sephora, Ulta, Lush Cosmetics) stand out. And, any products out of stock are labeled as such which I think many people will find to be very helpful.
Getting around the store and testing things out wasn't a huge issue despite the crowd. Because, you can still look around and try out a variety of products such as skincare, makeup, fragrances, etc.
In store, Glossier has a limited clothing line of 3 pieces as follows:
-$50 Boston exclusive sweatshirt (mint green) with a fuzzy 'G' on the front. And "glossier" embroidered on the back. I was told it's true to size but looks to be a little oversized.
-$55 An oversized pink hoodie with "glossier" in white lettering across the front.
-$40 A grey sweatshirt with "glossier" in black lettering in an arch across the front. A lighter piece in comparison to the 2 options listed above with thicker material.
I bought the $40 sweatshirt and the $24 moisturizing moon mask coming out to $65.55 after tax. Not horribly priced but not cheap. But I'd say it's worth the money.
Overall, I say the visit was worth it and I'll probably be back soon.
Note: Staff is super nice & helpful. Uniforms were pink coveralls with a red shirt & I love it! read more
