Hey, everyone! If you're as WICKED movie-obsessed as I am, then you're in the right place. After seeing the film on the big screen, I couldn't resist recreating Glinda's makeup look inspired by Ariana Grande's portrayal. Today, I'll be diving into the r.e.m. beauty x WICKED collection to show you how to achieve Glinda's stunning aesthetic.

I've previously covered Glinda's Ozdust Ball look and even shared an Elphaba-inspired tutorial. This time, I'll review each product in the r.e.m. collection and let you know what's worth the splurge—and what to "Toss, toss!" Ready to fuel your WICKED holiday wish list? Let's get started.

First Impressions of the r.e.m. Beauty Collection

The r.e.m. beauty x WICKED collection is undeniably dreamy, with packaging that perfectly captures Glinda's bubbly and radiant aesthetic. But do the products live up to the hype? Here's how they performed for me:

1. r.e.m. beauty x WICKED Galinda Glow Drops

Verdict: Highly recommend!

Why I Love It: These glow drops are moisturizing, smell incredible, and leave a radiant finish. Use them under foundation, on your chest, or as a highlighter for doll-like skin.

2. r.e.m. beauty x WICKED Galinda Makeup Set

What's Inside:

Pink Lipstick: A wearable pink shade with adorable limited-edition packaging.

Bright Pink Blush: Blends beautifully and pairs perfectly with the Glow Drops.

Light Blue Eyeliner: Sadly, this one didn't impress—it broke easily, and I wish it had a more iridescent finish.

3. r.e.m. beauty x WICKED Ozdust Eyeshadow Palette

Verdict: Beautiful but not as impactful as I'd hoped.

Comparison: While the aesthetic is stunning, the shimmers require building for a bolder look. For higher performance, I recommend the ONE/SIZE Wicked on Broadway palette—it delivers better shimmer payoff and even includes blushes!

4. PH Adaptive Lip Oil

What It Does: Adjusts to your pH to create a vibrant pink tint.

My Thoughts: While it leaned warmer than expected, I'd recommend pairing it with a lip liner for a polished look. If you're aiming for Glinda's cooler pinks, try the Tulip Lip Stains instead.

What I'd Recommend Most

If you're considering the collection, here's what I'd prioritize:

Top Pick: Galinda Glow Drops 🌟 – Versatile and delivers consistent results.

Best for Collectors: Galinda Set – A mix of incredible and underwhelming products, but the packaging is adorable.

Swap Option: Replace the r.e.m. eyeshadow palette with the ONE/SIZE Wicked on Broadway palette for better performance.

Non-Makeup Picks

The Bubble Sweater and WICKED Tote Bag are absolutely adorable for any fan!

For brushes, IT Cosmetics IT Brushes for ULTA are a must-have in any makeup kit:

WICKED Movie Review

The WICKED movie was a visual and emotional masterpiece. From the dazzling sets and costumes to the breathtaking music, everything felt larger-than-life. As someone new to the WICKED universe (I saw the play for the first time this summer), I loved how the film brought the characters closer through expressive, cinematic moments.

One scene that stuck with me was the Ozdust Ball. While Glinda's style is impeccable, her kindness toward Elphaba seemed a bit transactional at first—befriending her to boost her own image. However, as the story progressed, I appreciated Glinda's growth, thanks to Elphaba's strong moral compass.
