It’s been nine years in the making, but local beauty lovers are finally able to buy Glossier in Australia!

No longer do you need to purchase a plane ticket to the US or UK to access the cult beauty brand in-store, because Glossier have now landed in Australian beauty retailer MECCA. Sydney-siders were treated to an exclusive first-look at the flagship George Street store before the official launch date of Glossier in Australia on Tuesday 16 July 2024.

Founded in 2014, the brand launched with four core products including the Priming Moisturiser, the Balm Dotcom lip balm, and the Perfecting Skin Tint sheer foundation (still arguably some of their most popular items). It was the perfect antidote to the Kylie Beauty Lip Kits and heavy-handed Beautytube trends: an easy-to-wear, minimal line which aimed to celebrate natural beauty.

Since then, the brand has exploded in popularity thanks to celeb fans like Sydney Sweeney, Gigi Hadid and SZA, and a recent ambassadorship with Olivia Rodrigo. But moreover, their products are genuinely joyous and a breeze to use, resulting in an ever-expanding product line as well as new shades added to exisiting best-sellers.

Ready to add to cart? Here’s a few FAQ’s we’ve rounded up, as well as our absolute must-trys.

Questions re: the Glossier Official Site (aka the full range)

How much does Glossier shipping to Australia cost from the official site based in the US?

The cost of Glossier shipping from the US-based site is inclusive of duties and taxes, and standard shipping (4-6 business days) on orders over $110 is free to Australia. Otherwise, standard shipping is $16.

There’s also a 1-3 day processing time before your order ships, so keep this in mind if you’re ordering for a special event or gifting.

Just a heads up from a beauty editor who’s already placed an order: if you’re buying any of the delicious Glossier You Fragrance products, you will need to pay for Air Courier which is $35 (but also express delivery, so sorta-win?).

Are all the products available to Australia?

Just about! From their iconic pink hoodies to Futuredew and Boy Brow, most cult faves are available to add to cart, with a couple of exceptions. The Glossier Candle and Solid Perfume are unfortunately unable to be shipped to Australia, but you can still get your ‘You’ fix in the Eau De Parfum variant.

What’s the Glossier return policy from Australia?

If the products aren’t what you expected, there’s still an easy 30-day returns policy that applies to all Australian orders.

How do I get my hands on a coveted ‘Pink Pouch’? 

Don’t fret, we won’t be missing out on the viral pink pouches that Glossier goodies are packaged in! The option is there to select a pink pouch at checkout (or forego if you’re looking to be more eco-conscious). No matter which option you choose, you will still receive a seasonal sticker and samples with your order.
