Reviews

I NEED IT!!

"Yes SpongeBob reference. Its actually the best gloss I've ever had. Im rebuying right now. All the makeup smells so good and feels good but this one just makes me feel gorgeous and put together I have no other explanation for it."

— Jazmine (5/5)

glossy balms are outta this world

"you just cannot get me to stop talking about glossy balms. i love them in every shade, but fembot is my absolute favorite. they smell so yummy and make my lips look even yummier! and to top it of, glossy balms are vegan and cruelty-free! there is no better lip gloss. glossy balm is it. period. -a 90's babe"

— nikki (5/5)

There was a tingling sensation

"There was a tingling sensation at first and it took about 10min to finally settle on a color on my lips. I wasn't a fan as it left them too light pink and it didn't look great for my medium-toned skin (think milk with coffee, but heavier on the milk), but my darker-toned (think heavy coffee, very little milk) wife looked amazing with this balm. It gave her a true-to-skin nude pink/red-ish color for her and now it's her favorite gloss balm. She wears it for anything she attends. It was glossy at first but then it dried enough to the point where its not sticking itself to anything either I or she were drinking or eating."

— Carla C. (5/5)

There’s many glosses on the

"There’s many glosses on the market, but glossy balms take the cake. They have the signature vanilla fragrance & come in so many varieties of colors. They’re not sticky/tacky & apply easily over other lip products. Fembot, Strawberry Soda, & Knew Better are my go-tos."

— andrea s. (5/5)

perfect shimmer gloss!

"it isn't super gritty like most glitter glosses, and that doesn't compromise the shine! these have a different scent than the original glossy balms and smell amazing. i'm in love with these shades and as always, the formula."

— izzy (5/5)

Fembot glossy balm

"I love the fembot glossy balm! This is such a pretty lip gloss and makes me feel put together even if I am not wearing any makeup! I love the shimmer, glitter, and the color it has. It is so good and I purchased it in the lip plumper too! I will forever purchase this lip gloss! I love that it has hylauronic acid because it moisturizes my lips all day long and lasts a long time!"

— Sonya U. (5/5)

I love it! It's smoothe

"I love it! It's smoothe and very pretty. I like the light gloss and the light shimmer it gives. My everyday gloss. ♥️"

— Kat M. (5/5)

Obsessed is an understatement!

"I started with just one, but after getting totally addicted, I now own 15! ☺️ I literally need to have one with me everywhere I go! Every single shade is gorgeous, but forever boy is definitely my favorite! Not only does it smell absolutely AMAZING, but it also gives the prettiest gloss to the lips without feeling sticky. On top of that, it’s super hydrating and keeps my lips so soft. I honestly cannot live without glossy balms anymore! 10/10 recommend! 🖤"

— Nina (5/5)

I want to marry this balm!

"REM beauty ate with this one! Not only is it a long-lasting balm, but it smells (and tastes) delicious af. My lips are naturally very dry and can get patchy/chapped sometimes, but this balm keeps them nice and hydrated for a while. It is on the stickier side and can get annoying for some people, but it helps me stop touching my lips every five seconds, which I really appreciate. I use this all day, every day, but if I put it on at night, right before bed, I still feel a little bit of residue the next morning. I purchased the "Cosmo", and despite it looking peachy in the bottle, it surprisingly doesn't make my lips too pale. There's an obvious gloss, but my lips pretty much stay the same colour, if not a bit lighter. Despite that, this might be my favourite REM product of all! Def recommend if you like these kinds of balms!"

— Aine S. (5/5)

I adore it!! I got fembot :)

"I love it!! Not only is it super glossy, but it’s so hydrating as Ari said! 😊 My lips were dry and a bit of skin was peeling, but when I put the glossy balm, the dryness disappeared and my lips were moist and super soft after a few minutes! :)) five stars!"

— Lana M. (5/5)
