Tiffany Masterson was a stay at home mom who wanted to help out the family. With grit and a willingness to be different she built an empire. Dave Young: Welcome to The Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not so secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom-and-pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I’m Stephen’s sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today’s episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it’s us, but we’re highlighting ads we’ve written and produced for our clients. So here’s one of those. [AirVantage Heating & Cooling Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to The Empire Builders Podcast. I’m Dave Young. Stephen Semple is here with another just enticing story of someone who’s built an empire, mostly sold it. Sometimes they’re still running it. And today he told me we’re sticking our toe back in the cosmetics industry. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: And then he named a company that I’ve never heard of. If you told me the name of it, I wouldn’t have guessed it was cosmetics. Stephen Semple: Right. Dave Young: Elephant what? Elephant. Drunk Elephant. Stephen Semple: Drunk Elephant. Dave Young: Drunk Elephant. Stephen Semple: And you think of it. It’s a crazy name for anything in cosmetics because it’s not like- Dave Young: I mean, it’s a crazy name for anything. Stephen Semple: It’s not like you aspire to have skin like an elephant. Dave Young: Especially a drunk one. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Drunk Elephant. It was started by Tiffany Masterson in 2013. And six years later, it sold for $845 million to the Japanese company, Shiseido. Dave Young: Dang, Tiffany. Way to go. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Right? Crazy, right? And so she’s a 40-year-old stay-at-home mom of four and her brother-in-law got involved in the business and she had no background in skincare business, didn’t have anybody around her in the skincare business. And it was like really her brother-in-law who gave her the seed money. And again, when I came across this and was like, “What the heck does elephants or drunk have anything to do with skincare?” Because elephants are wrinkly. Dave Young: Well, and so may I take a detour? Stephen Semple: Absolutely. Dave Young: I love that kind of a name. The worst, in my opinion, which is correct. Stephen Semple: If you do say so yourself. Dave Young: If I do say so myself, in my humbly correct opinion, the most intriguing business names are not descriptive names. Stephen Semple: Correct. Dave Young: They’re names that make you stop and snap your head around and go, “Wait, what?” And descriptive names are okay if you’re just counting on people searching in Google for whatever it is your business describes. Stephen Semple: Yeah, but I’d even argue- Dave Young: But even then- Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: Yeah. We could go on this one for a long time, but I love the name and I love that it’s not Drunk Elephant lipstick. I mean, maybe it is. I don’t even know. It’s skincare. Stephen Semple: Everybody around her tried to talk her out of the name and she was like, “No, I’m sticking with this name.” And there’s a little bit of a reason for the name. But coming back to your point, when we go out and take a look at successful businesses. Your very, very, very hard press to find successful businesses where the name is descriptive. And even the ones that are descriptive, we do not even refer to them that way. Case in point, we do not call General Motors General Motors, we call them GM. We do not call General Electric General Electric, we call it GE. There’s Ford. There’s Chrysler, there’s Tesla. Dave Young: There’s International Business Machines. Stephen Semple: Yeah, which we do not refer to them as I refer to them as IBM. Apple. Microsoft. Now, Microsoft is slightly descriptive, but not at the same time. Dave Young: But I love names like Drunk Elephant, Caterpillar. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: Yeah. I love it. Stephen Semple: Absolutely. So back to Tiffany. So back to Tiffany. So Tiffany grew up in Houston. Her dad was actually a quarterback. She was not a good student, couldn’t focus in school. She did okay in college. What she really wanted to be, she wanted to be a mom. She wanted to be a mom. She wanted to get married. She wanted to have babies. And she met her husband when she was 30 and was on a blind date and they got married pretty quickly and had babies pretty quickly. And her husband, Charles, was at Enron. Had two kids from a previous message. And when Enron failed, he went on to find a job at Texas Commercial Energy, which then also ended up failing with a bunch of things going on. But she was happy being at home raising kids. And she had four babies under four years old, but she wanted to do something creative, especially with all these things going on with her husband. She wanted to be able to contribute to the family. And so when she started off with the idea of wanting to do a catering company, and her idea was she was going to sell stuff from Frozen, but she couldn’t make the numbers work. She looked at it and looked at it and looked at it and said, “Yeah”. She couldn’t figure out how to make money from it. Then she thought, she got interested in all this cooking stuff and she thought, “Well, I’ll do a pantry cleaning out business, get rid of all the bad food and replace it with good food.” And that, she wasn’t able to get traction on that. Then she started selling Arbonne, which is a skincare line that’s sold as in the multi-level marketing world. And Charles, her husband, is really an artist at heart and he started to do prototypes of custom lights and he wanted to start doing that as a job, but it’s not an easy way to support a family of six. Did it for a few months, was not really from him. And got a call from his brother who had this little store in Austin and told him about a bar where they could sell stuff in store. And when I say a bar, like a bar of soap. So they came across this bar of soap that they thought that they could sell. And it was called this Wonder Bar and it had all sorts of benefits and these crazy ingredients. And she decided that she was going to sell this bar. So she was going to buy this bar, and the bar sold for $100. Dave Young: All right. A bar of soap. Stephen Semple: Bar of soap. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: So she was making like this $2,500 a month on profit. But what she also noticed is it cleared up her skin, because she had had all these skin issues. And people liked the bar. They were still having problems. So she had her skin cleared up, but other people’s skin didn’t clear up. And so she started asking them, “Well, what else are you using it? Send what all the other things you’re doing.” She started looking into this and she loved the idea of marketing the bar. She promoted it and was having this huge success to the degree where she had an opportunity to join Wonder Bar United States, like the main company making it, because she was just a reseller. She was just distributor. And she discovered that the bar cost $18 to make. Dave Young: Sure. That’s a good margin. Stephen Semple: Yeah. And her brother-in-law invested $300,000 to buy a national distribution on this. But again, this whole thing she would find is that people were still having issues with their skin and told it’s normal, do a detox, all this other stuff. And the other thing she started to learn is that in a lot of cases, the ingredients on a lot of skincare products were bogus, like was not actually true. And at one point she talked to Sephora about this bar. Like, “You should sell this bar in Sephora,” and Sephora was not interested in one skew. And then she learned of the bar did have some bad ingredients in it. She decided she was going to create her own, and she would make herself the guinea pig and she started to discover about ingredients that should not be put on your skin. And she wanted a line with ingredients that she knew she was comfortable with and would be good. And she did tons of research around ingredients. And here’s the other thing she learned. A lot of ingredients are basically the same ingredient under a different name. She would be like, “This ABC ingredient is bad, but then it’s ABC here and it’s X, Y, Z over there.” Dave Young: Yeah. I think there’s a lot of that that goes on. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: It makes me think of the Certs breath mint commercial from the ’70s that it had Retsyn in it. Retsyn. Stephen Semple: Oh, Retsyn. Dave Young: And they’d make a little sparkly- Stephen Semple: Forgot about that. Dave Young: …each one has a drop of Retsyn. Nobody knows what that is. It’s probably peppermint oil. I don’t know. Stephen Semple: Probably. Dave Young: But yeah, it’s just some made up nonsense. Stephen Semple: So she decided to create an owner-owned formulation. Now, one of the things she discovered in all of this is that to create an owner formulation costs like 30 grand to like- Dave Young: Oh, wow. Okay. Stephen Semple: …to do all of that. But one of the first things that she discovered that she really liked was marula oil was one of the first ingredients, and it can be used as a moisturizer. And when she was researching it, she came across this YouTube video of elephants. Dave Young: Stay tuned. We’re going to wrap up this story and tell you how to apply this lesson to your business right after this. [Using Stories To Sell] Dave Young: Let’s pick up our story where we left off and trust me you haven’t missed a thing. Stephen Semple: One of the first things that she discovered that she really liked was marula oil was one of the first ingredients, and it can be used as a moisturizer. And when she was researching it, she came across this YouTube video of elephants. So marula oil comes from a fruit, and when that fruit falls on the ground, seemingly it ferments and elephants and other animals eat it. And she came across this YouTube video of these elephants staggering around. I don’t even know whether that’s true or whether it happens. And she was like she didn’t even know whether this video was true, but all of a sudden the name Drunk Elephant. Dave Young: Well, I’d say it’s worth investigating. Stephen Semple: Yeah. So she decided to call Drunk Elephant, everywhere around her hated it. They said it sounded like a pub. And she was like, “That name is for me. I like it. I like it.” And one of her things that she kept saying in the interview that I heard her say was if she was going to fail, she was going to fail because of her decisions. She was not going to fail because of following somebody else. Dave Young: Good point. Yeah. Stephen Semple: She was like, “I like it. I’m going to do it.” And you know what her attitude was? No one’s going to forget it. Drunk Elephant. No one’s going to forget it. It’s going to stand out. So she creates six SKUs, gets 5,000 units each, costs about $150,000. It’s late 2013. In total, they have about $450,000 invested in creating formulations and all this other stuff. And she launches in August of 2013 and wants to get into Sephora. This is the company she wanted to get in from the beginning. All she wanted to do is get in this one place and really focus on that and make it grow. Meanwhile, her brother-in-law who’s invested all this money is getting nervous. He’s like, “Get into more stores. Don’t just focus on Sephora.” And basically at launch, Charles wanted out and she couldn’t raise money to buy him out. Two investors came in and returned some of the money to Charles. They didn’t do any advertising, but they reached out to every beauty director. And here’s what she did. If you look at Drunk Elephant, if you go online and take a look at it, the packaging is crazy colorful. And again, this is the other thing she noticed. She looked on the shelves and skincare products are very dull. So she created this crazy colorful packaging that goes along with Drunk Elephant and every product had its own color. And there was no color in skincare at the time. And the packaging people even pushed back saying, “Skincare is not done that way.” So she decided that she was going to, again, really push on this whole idea of getting something into Sephora and she started randomly trying email addresses to get ahold of people. Dave Young: Okay. Yeah. I’ve heard about it. Stephen Semple: So she would go “Oh, Dave Young works at Sephora. So is it dave.young@sephora? Is it dyoung@sephora?” Dave Young: Try it at all. Stephen Semple: Until she gets ahold of people. And look, and also she was doing some things again with local beauty companies and whatnot. So the first year sales were under $100,000. July 2014, the final packaging and formulation is done and she goes to this retail show. Now it’s this Cosmoprof retail show and the retailers choose to meet you. And Sephora is not on the list. She looks at all the companies want to meet with her. Sephora is not on the list, but she goes anyway. She goes with her sister. And on the last day, these ladies come walking by and they say to her, “Well, we’re not picking up anything new this year, but tell us about your product and we’re going to keep in touch.” And a week later, she finds out those folks were from Sephora and they wanted to talk to her about launching her brand. Dave Young: Nice. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Yeah. And one of the things that she did have was really good repeat customers. She was pricing the product between drugstore and dermatology brands, so they really liked the price point. January 2015, she’s in Sephora. Dave Young: Nice. Okay. Stephen Semple: And the other thing that attracted Sephora is she got really big on Instagram because of the big, colorful packaging. Dave Young: A Drunk Elephant. Who is not going to watch a Drunk Elephant video? Stephen Semple: Right. Now, they did a few products with her and they sold out right away. And then April in 2015, she went on the favorites wall, Sephora. So Sephora has this wall of favorite products. And the other thing that she did, so here’s the other thing she did that was smart. She recognized you can’t just get into Sephora and automatically get sales. And if you don’t get sales, you’re not staying in Sephora. So what does she do? She gave every single employee at Sephora samples. Dave Young: Man, okay. Stephen Semple: Right. And in 2017, took on some private equity and she became the fastest growing skincare brand at Sephora. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: A few years later, along come Shiseido offering them $845 million to buy the company. Dave Young: Great. Good for her. So the only disappointing thing I hear in this story is that the private equity folks probably got most of that. Stephen Semple: Yeah, maybe. Dave Young: That’s the way it works. Yeah. Stephen Semple: That’s often the way it works. Dave Young: You need that leg up sometimes. Stephen Semple: Yeah. But what I loved was a couple of things that she did here that I loved. One was name Drunk Elephant. Secondly, the colorful packaging, because again, the argument of everybody was, “Skincare is not done that way.” Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: Her instincts to do things differently was really powerful. The other thing that I also really liked, again, Instagram is not where you would think about promoting skincare, but she looked at it and said, “I got this great name in this colorful packaging. It probably would work in Instagram.” Dave Young: Yeah. And it’s definitely where you can get famous for a skincare product because all the young women that are on Instagram are people that are good prospects for you. So my thought is, “Yeah, you can do it,” but I’m guessing she did it right and that she just use it to build fame. Stephen Semple: Yes, she did. Dave Young: Right. She wasn’t trying to sell products. She was just building fame. Stephen Semple: Building fame. That’s exactly what it was. Dave Young: And then people will go find it somewhere. They’re going to go to Sephora anyway. She knew that. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: So that’s great. I mean, I just did a quick Google image search for Drunk Elephant. And yeah, the screen just becomes this bright batch of every color. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: The bright white packages with brightly colored lids and caps and things. It’s fun. It communicates that this is a fun brand. Stephen Semple: Yeah. And when I first heard about it, I was like, “Good for her sticking with the name Drunk Elephant.” And also liked her. And again, her instincts were very good. Dave Young: Yeah. I love it. I love the story. Have you tried it? Stephen Semple: I have not. Dave Young: I haven’t either. Well, of course, I haven’t tried it because I just now heard of it, but I’m thinking about finding Sephora and go get my beauty on. Stephen Semple: Well, you know what, next time- Dave Young: I’m 60, almost, oh geez, almost 63 this year, less than a week. And so I need some skincare. I’m looking at the mirror and going, “Ooh, yikes-“ Stephen Semple: There’s no Sephora in my little town. Next time I’m down in Toronto- Dave Young: …”Dave, you need to moisturize.” Stephen Semple: You need to moisturize. Next time I’m down in Toronto, I’ll step in the Sephora and get one. Dave Young: All right. Well, thank you for bringing us the Drunk Elephant story. What’s she doing now, just sitting on her pile of money like a dragon? Stephen Semple: Well, like she said, she loved being a mom, so maybe just taking care of her kids. I don’t know. Dave Young: Yeah. Awesome. Stephen Semple: All right. Dave Young: Well, thank you for bringing Tiffany’s Drunk Elephant to the room. Stephen Semple: All right. Thanks, David.

On this week's episode of Beautiful and Bothered, Johnny and Kevin discuss makeup brands that may not make it through 2026, including Pat McGrath Labs, Covergirl, Drunk Elephant, Too Faced, and a new Korean Beauty Retail competitor that spells big trouble for Sephora and Ulta Beauty!

Founder-led branding isn't dead — but it is evolving fast. Showing your face and posting “day in the life” content is no longer enough to stand out. The bar has risen, audiences have matured, and what worked in 2020 doesn't cut through in 2026. In this episode, I break down exactly what's changing, what's working now, and how to build a brand presence people actually want to follow. From docu-style storytelling, to world-building, to narrative-driven content, to what to do if you don't want to be the face — this is the roadmap for founders who want to stay relevant, grow trust, and build a brand with depth. Here's what you'll take away: • Why “show up and share your story” is now the baseline, not the differentiator • What's replacing founder-led content: mini-docs, world-building, lifestyle storytelling • Why customers want more than product — they want a movement, a world, a narrative • How brands like Kenzo, Sol de Janeiro, Strawberry Milk Mob, and Drunk Elephant are winning • Why you don't have to be the face — but you must be compelling • How to blend founder-led moments with team, customer, and culture content • The #1 question to ask going into 2026: “What world am I building?” If you're feeling the pressure to post more, show up more, or be the face of your brand — this episode will help you understand what actually matters now, and how to create content that builds connection, trust, and excitement around your business.

6 ans d'intrapreneuriat avec Lindsay Azpitarte, fondatrice de Ulé.Que signifie vraiment innover de l'intérieur, au cœur d'un grand groupe ?Dans cet épisode, je reçois Lindsay Azpitarte, au parcours aussi rare qu'inspirant. Franco-américaine, passionnée de soin, elle a évolué pendant des années au plus haut niveau du Groupe Shiseido : directrice des marques Shiseido et Clé de Peau, membre du COMEX, puis pilote du lancement de Drunk Elephant en Europe.C'est à ce moment-là que naît l'envie de créer autrement. Pas en quittant le groupe, mais en lançant sa propre marque en intrapreneuriat : Ulé.Avec beaucoup de transparence, Lindsay raconte comment elle a convaincu le président du groupe de lui faire confiance sur un projet radicalement nouveau, comment est née l'idée d'intégrer une ferme verticale au cœur d'un projet cosmétique, et ce que signifie réellement être intrapreneure : une posture souvent isolante, entre salariat et entrepreneuriat.Elle partage aussi les erreurs, notamment celle de vouloir dupliquer des modèles de distribution pensés pour des marques installées, la difficulté de créer de l'adhésion en interne, et ce paradoxe clé : dans un grand groupe, les “moyens sans risque” peuvent freiner la créativité et le test & learn.Quand tout est déjà structuré et validé, innover demande encore plus de courage.Pour Lindsay, le vrai KPI va bien au-delà des chiffres : transformer la culture interne, les mindsets et les façons de faire.Nous avons également parlé d'ambition et de politique interne, deux sujets encore sensibles lorsqu'ils sont portés par des femmes, mais indispensables pour créer de l'impact.Un épisode enregistré dans le formidable Hôtel Saint-André des Arts Paris 6è.N'hésitez pas à vous abonner, noter et commenter le BWP Podcast sur votre plateforme d'écoute favorite, c'est très précieux !Pour participer au prochain événement BWP suivez nous sur www.businesswomeninparis.com et @businesswomeninparis et inscrivez-vous à la newsletter via ce lien.Titre:  Not Kings Auteur: Candy Says Source: https://candysays.bandcamp.com/ Licence: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.frTéléchargement (8MB): https://auboutdufil.com/?id=561 Hébergé par Ausha.

Sonja teilt inspirierende Praxisbeispiele, darunter der Einsatz von **Triz** und **Improv Prototyping** in einem gereiften Startup, bei dem sie humorvolle **Cartoon-Charaktere** (wie den "Drunk Elephant") entwickelte, um dysfunktionale Sabotage-Dynamiken sichtbar zu machen. Zudem erfahren Sie, wie die Kombination aus **Spiral Journal** und **Walk to Talk** bei einer Ratsfraktion für tiefgreifende Selbstreflexion und veränderte Zusammenarbeit sorgte. Sonja betont die Wichtigkeit einer klaren Einladung (mit dem 4 MAT-Format) und wie LS es ermöglicht, dass **Emotionen und Ängste** ebenso willkommen sind wie sachliche Argumente.

Picture this. You’re on a date or sitting in a job interview. Four minutes in, you know — this isn’t it. Do you cut your losses and walk, or sit there smiling politely for the next painful hour? Same with a conversation that's making you quietly die inside or reading a book that came highly recommended —do you carry on or quit? That, in essence, is the Lemon Law — and today, we’re breaking it down. Also on the docket: tween beauty. Why are 12-year-olds taking over Sephora, and is their influence driving up prices across the industry? And if that is the case, could they please stop? Like, now? Amelia, Jessie, and Mia unpack the tween takeover and what it means for the future of our beauty treats. And finally, our weekly recommendations: a book Amelia didn’t Lemon Law, an unhinged sheep story (from Mia, naturally), and the documentary Jessie couldn't stop watching. Support independent women's media Recommendations Amelia recommends Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid. Jessie recommends aka Charlie Sheen on Netflix.

The beauty industry had an eventful summer marked by changing retailer strategies, stark revenue tumbles and a flurry of pricey acquisitions.  In this special episode of The Glossy Beauty Podcast, reporters Lexy Lebsack, Emily Jensen and Sara Spruch-Feiner walk through the stories that defined the season.  This includes strategy shifts within retailers like Sephora, Ulta Beauty and Target, plus a look at disappointing revenue at conglomerates Shiseido and Estée Lauder Companies. The team also discusses the biggest acquisitions of the season — including Rhode, Dr. Squatch, Space NK and Touchland — and the tariff-related topics we're watching as fall approaches.  To start (0:53), Glossy's beauty team digs into the industry's biggest summer investments, led by E.l.f. Beauty's May purchase of Hailey Bieber's Rhode for $1 billion. The team also walks through CPG company Church & Dwight's $700 million purchase of trendy hand sanitizer brand Touchland in May and Unilever's June purchase of digitally-native men's care brand Dr. Squatch for $1.5 billion.   Beauty's top specialty retailers also had big summers. Sephora (8:37) is leaning deeper into a tried-and-true brand launch playbook: the celebrity artist. In the past few weeks, the retailer has rolled out new lines from celebrity makeup artists Hung Vanngo and Mary Phillips, plus hairstylist Chris McMillian.  Meanwhile, Ulta Beauty (18:17) had a whirlwind summer as new CEO Kecia Steelman executed her “Ulta Unleashed” comeback plan. Steelman, who was appointed CEO in January after more than a decade with the company, announced her plan in March as a response to the company's 1.9% year-over-year holiday sales tumble. Glossy's team unpacks all the changes, including the acquisition of U.K. retailer Space NK, international expansion into Mexico and the Middle East, and the end of Ulta's shop-in-shop with Target.  Finally (25:37), Glossy's team walks through can't-miss beauty conglomerate news: LVMH's splashy Louis Vuitton Beauté launch and Shiseido's sales tumble caused by Drunk Elephant's poor performance, plus turbulence at Waldencast and Estée Lauder Companies. Finally (36:27), team Glossy ends with a few autumn tariff predictions. 

In this episode of the Glossy Beauty Podcast, board-certified dermatologist and Mohs surgeon Dr. Jane Yoo, and the Melanoma Research Foundation's director of advocacy, Kim Wezik, MPH, chat with Glossy podcast co-host Sara Spruch-Feiner about how the U.S. wound up so far behind the rest of the world when it comes to sunscreen, how the Melanoma Research Foundation is working with congress to try to make progress in the field, and what's at stake (20:00). But first, co-hosts Lexy Lebsack and Emily Jensen discuss some of the week's biggest beauty news, including TSG Group's acquisition of Chriselle Lim's Phlur, which was relaunched by Ben Bennett's incubator, The Center, in 2022. They also discuss a recent controversy surrounding the introduction of an AI fragrance influencer "launched" by another incubator, Slate Brands. The influencer's profile has since been deleted. And finally, they discuss recent layoffs at Shiseido — the parent company of Drunk Elephant, Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare, Nars, and several fragrance licenses including Tory Burch and Narciso Rodriguez — as well as at Walmart.

We're officially halfway through 2025, so Kirbie and Sara are breaking down the biggest beauty headlines of the year so far. From Rhode's major sale and Drunk Elephant's decline, to Kylie Jenner getting real about her boobs and the rise of Caveman Skincare, we're recapping it all. Plus, we're talking sunscreen drama, Lashify lawsuits, Tarte trips, Old Lady Energy, blephs, facelifts, and the brands we think are winning 2025.Shop our episodesWatch our episodes!CALL or TEXT US: 424-341-0426Instagram: @glossangelspod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanTwitter: @glossangelespod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanEmail: glossangelespodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

If you've ever wondered how Sephora decides what products make it onto their shelves—or why some go viral and others never show up—this episode is for you. We're joined by Cindy Deily, Sephora's Vice President of Merchandising for Skincare, who's been with the company for nearly two decades and is the ultimate insider when it comes to spotting trends, launching brands, and shaping the beauty industry. She's helped build the careers of brands like Drunk Elephant, Tatcha, and Summer Fridays, launched the iconic “Clean at Sephora” program, and has personally tested thousands of products. In this conversation, Cindy takes us behind the scenes of Sephora's curation process, reveals the cult-favorite items they can't keep in stock, shares which trends are about to blow up, and explains why Sephora is still the mothership of beauty. From dry shampoo to de-influencing, tween skincare to sustainability, this is your all-access pass to the most powerful retailer in beauty.

Despite a new, 90-day pause on President Trump's sky-high tariffs on goods imported from China, near-shoring and multi-shoring are leading topics on the minds of business insiders now.  But the idea of near-shoring, or moving a supply chain closer to the brand's home country, as well as multi-shoring, or diversifying your supply chain to additional regions, comes with many pros and cons.  On today's episode of the Glossy Beauty Podcast, host Lexy Lebsack is joined by Melissa Daniels, senior reporter at Glossy's sister publication Modern Retail and co-host of the Modern Retail Podcast, to unpack the nuances in supply chain pivots today (23:24).  “I'm hearing a lot of brands talk about this supply chain risk assessment that they're trying to make now,” Daniels said. “Even if it's not tariffs [prompting this], it might be something else: There was Covid that messed up supply chains, [and] certain weather events can have a huge impact on shipping and delivery, so if you are a company that has the resources to re-shore, you are looking into that much more seriously than you were a year ago.”  The two hosts share their latest reporting, including insights from brands actively looking to move their supply chains to places like Mexico, foreign manufacturers looking for U.S.-based brands to work with and the companies connecting them.  “If you're insulated by having products in multiple places, that prevents that really scary situation where you have no inventory [because of an unexpected global event],” Daniels said.  As previously reported by Glossy, many experts believe that “every purchase order is up for grabs” right now as brands rethink their suppliers. However, a future-proofed supply chain can take decades to build, so it's important to think through changes.  “This is such a relational business,” Daniels said. “Brands have a really close relationship with their suppliers and their manufacturers; they've worked together for a very long time, in some cases, and there's trust there.” What's more, there is a question over whether or not big supply chain shifts can be investigated fast enough, let alone implemented, to avoid tariffs this year. Ahead, Lebsack and Daniels discuss expected timelines, which can range from weeks to years, as well as the unexpected environmental and marketing benefits of near-shoring. But first, Lebsack is joined by co-host Sara Spruch-Feiner to unpack this week's industry news.  This includes one of the biggest brand exits of the year: Announced Monday, consumer goods company Church & Dwight is set to acquire hand sanitizer company Touchland for $700 million in cash and stock, plus a potential 2025 earnout of over $100 million. The team also dives into a new study out of the U.K. from watchdog group Advertising Standards Authority that found around a third of influencers fail to disclose their ties to brands.  And finally, a look at Drunk Elephant's sales tumble. Japanese beauty conglomerate Shiseido, which owns brands like Nars and Drunk Elephant, reported an 8.5% decline in sales on Monday. This is partially due to a 65% year-over-year drop in Drunk Elephant sales, the once golden child of the beauty industry. 

In this episode of Out of the Clouds, host Anne Muhlethaler interviews Dina Fierro, creative thinker and seasoned omni-channel marketer with expertise spanning fashion, beauty and luxury. Dina is a specialist in content strategy, cross-platform storytelling and reshaping consumer engagement.Dina's career has spanned fashion, beauty and luxury, including leadership positions both agency and brand-side, including a few years where she worked with Anne at Christian Louboutin. In her most recent role at Shiseido Americas, she led the organisation's digital innovation group, partnering with portfolio brands including NARS, Shiseido, Clé de Peau Beauté and Drunk Elephant to create highly engaging consumer experiences anchored in emerging technology.Anne and Dina explore Dina's fascinating journey from her early aspirations in journalism to becoming a pioneering voice in the digital marketing landscape. Dina shares her path from launching one of the early fashion and beauty blogs in 2006, Eye for Style, to spearheading groundbreaking digital initiatives for prestigious brands. The pair discuss Dina's work creating virtual ambassadors for Nars, immersive retail experiences, and exciting gaming integrations that are pushing the boundaries of how brands in the beauty or luxury space connect with their customers.The conversation delves into the evolution of Web3, AI, and immersive technologies (with Dina offering some explanation for the meaning of the terms), examining how these tools are transforming brand storytelling. They explore the broadcast-to-dialogue shift - how brands in Web3 are moving away from one-way communication toward more interactive relationships with their audiences. Dina explains her vision for a more integrated approach to experiential marketing and how technology can enhance rather than replace physical experiences.Anne and Dina exchange thoughts on their favorite platforms in 2025, discussing platforms that really reinforce the dialogue between brands and consumers. They share insights on Substack, Reddit, and the untapped potential of audio, while expressing their mixed feelings about Meta and TikTok. The conversation also touches on the hazards of the subscription economy and makes a case for why more brands should embrace audio for deeper connection with their audiences.Throughout the discussion, Dina reveals her thoughtful approach to both personal and professional growth, touching on resilience, the importance of human connection in an increasingly digital world, and finding balance between control and vulnerability.A thought-provoking conversation that bridges the past, present, and future of digital marketing while offering valuable insights for anyone interested in the intersection of technology, creativity, and brand building.Happy listening! Selected Links from EpisodeYou can connect with Dina: Dina's Substack: Yet Another SubstackDina's Instagram: @dinafierro Other links: Daydream - AI-powered luxury shopping experienceXiidra - Multisensory VR experiencesZEPETO - Immersive metaverse-style app popular in AsiaUnreal Engine - Platform within Epic Games for photorealistic environmentsDimension Studio - London-based studio specializing in Unreal Engine developmentPatty Wilson - Renowned stylist who styles NARS campaignsVogue Business - Business publication featuring Dina's work with virtual ambassadorsRoblox - User-generated platform where NARS launched Color QuestKiki World - Co-creation platform disrupting the beauty industryDS & Durga - Niche perfume house with Spotify playlists including commissioned musicBarilla Pasta Timer Playlists - Curated music for pasta cooking timesSubstack - Newsletter platform Dina uses for her publicationLeandra Medine (Man Repeller) - Fashion writer and former blogger Dina followsAmy O'Dell - Former Editor-in-Chief of The Cut with original reporting on SubstackMarie Claire - Publication with sophisticated content strategies beyond printBloomberg on Telegram - Example of legacy media embracing alternative channelsMeta Ray-Ban Smart Glasses - Wearable technology Dina finds compellingTom Petty - "I Won't Back Down" - Song that represents DinaMichael Pollan - "The Omnivore's Dilemma" - Book that changed Dina's relationship with foodEric Ripert - Chef whose culinary memoir Dina enjoysGabrielle Hamilton - Chef and author Dina mentioned for her culinary writing This episode is brought to you by Le TrenteAre you a purpose-driven individual seeking clarity in your personal narrative?

For MCoBeauty CMO Meridith Rojas, the ability to democratize the beauty industry lies in the power of dupes.  “We're in this moment, in this cultural zeitgeist, where people don't want to have to spend $1,000 on a face of beauty and don't want to be left out of the trends,” said Rojas. “We really want to create luxury for everyone. And of course, we have amazing dupes, but we also have some homegrown innovation. The combination has been really magnetic, and our community is growing in the U.S. so fast. We have a very exciting year ahead of us.”  Dupes, the colloquial term for a lower-priced product inspired by a luxury category leader, makes up about half of MCo's offering. Unlike counterfeits or copies, which are often associated with unsafe formulas and flagrant IP violations, dupes are in their own category and are incredibly popular globally.  MCoBeauty sells recognizable dupes for popular products from brands like Charlotte Tilbury, Drunk Elephant, Sol de Janeiro and Laneige for around a third of the price. For example, MCo Beauty's best-selling Flawless Glow Foundation retails for $14.99, and its Miracle Flawless Pressed Powder goes for $9.99. Similar products from Charlotte Tilbury retail for $49 and $28, respectively. It also offers non-dupes, like its best-selling XtendLash tubing mascara, which sells for $13.99. MCoBeauty was launched in Australia in 2016 by founder Shelley Sullivan, a former modeling agency owner. It is currently the top-selling color cosmetics brand in Australia and New Zealand, according to Greg Barker, MCoBeauty's evp of North America. As previously reported by Glossy in December, MCoBeauty launched its U.S. expansion at the end of 2024 with entry into 1,700 Kroger stores, which include regional grocery stores like Smiths, Fred Meyer, King Soopers, Frys, Ralphs and more. The expansion also includes DTC sales via MCoBeauty's site and Amazon. This week, MCo Beauty also launched into 1,300 Target doors and on Target.com.  Rojas joined The Glossy Beauty Podcast to discuss MCoBeauty's U.S. expansion and the marketing strategy supporting it. She shared anecdotes about the company's OOH and digital marketing successes, including advice on building a digital community, connecting with influencers early in their careers, getting the best community UGC and hiring digitally-minded celebrities to lead social-first campaigns.

This week, I sat down with Tiffany Masterson, the founder of the skincare company Drunk Elephant, on the SUPERWOMEN podcast to talk about the importance of staying committed to your purpose while growing your business.  Before she started the company, Tiffany recognized in herself a deep passion for using her creativity to help others. She'd been asked for skincare recommendations by her friends, and began to look into common ingredients found in skincare products. Her research journey led her to realize how many of the ingredients were unnecessary and could lead to issues like inflammation. In 2013, she launched Drunk Elephant with a focus on clean and simple formulas. The business, which she founded as a stay-at-home mom, became one of the leading and fastest-growing brands in the clean beauty movement. It was acquired by Shiseido for $845 million, in 2019. In this episode, Tiffany takes us through her journey and shares insightful tips on how to use doubt and fear as motivation, who to bring onto your team, and when to ask for help.

As the government debates a new bill covering how AI has to abide by copyright laws, is it better for creative industries to keep their friends close but enemies closer? Sephora, Drunk Elephant, Sol de Janeiro are at the front of what some have called an epidemic amongst 'tweens' (pre-teens). These beauty and skincare brands are often pushed by influencers but what does it tell us about modern advertising and commercialism. Finally Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has upset the TV industry after attacking a lack of creativity and diversity. Do her points have merit or is it misplaced and is she simply looking to score some easy points?

Tiffany Masteron's grandma told her the name “Drunk Elephant” was the most asinine thing she'd ever heard. Granny wasn't the only one – her friends thought so too. But Tiffany never bent when it came to her vision of the company…even though she was a stay-at-home mom with zero experience in skincare. Instead, she had this gut feeling about her ingredient formulation and trusted it was different enough to take the company far. Spoiler alert: it did.  In this episode of 9 to 5ish, Tiffany shares:  Why she chose to disrupt stay-at-home mom life to become an entrepreneur When she realized her first entrepreneurial journey was kinda sketchy  How she discovered the Drunk Elephant “Suspicious Six” philosophy – and why it works  The moment she knew her company had “made it” (hello, Sephora)  Her response when consumers claim Drunk Elephant markets to kids

In our 116th episode of Earned, Conor sits down with Lucia Ruehlemann, President of Saie—a clean makeup brand that prioritizes superhero ingredients and high-performance outcomes, all while maintaining sustainable packaging and products. To start, we dive into Lucia's decade of experience building successful indie brands such as Fresh and Drunk Elephant. Unlocking what makes Lucia who she is, we learn how she balances her family of six, and finds joy through the evolving situation that she calls “controlled chaos.” Lucia credits her children with reverse mentoring her, and shares insights on what's culturally relevant to younger generations. Next, we explore how Lucia brings the same idea—creating love beyond reason—from her family to the brand she's working on. Lucia shares with us how her family has processed the tragic loss of her eldest son, Jeremy, and turned it into core lessons that can be applied to everyone's lives. While unpacking Lucia's personal relationships, she shares that you're “in it together” with the people you work with, and that having deep respect and admiration can help people through tough times and conversations. We learn about how the beauty industry is relationship-based, and how mission-critical it can be to chase core business, rather than viral moments. By tapping into creators who have a genuine love and affinity for your brand, Lucia emphasizes that these are the individuals who can truly share your brand story. Lucia then describes her experience working at powerhouse beauty conglomerates LVMH and Estée Lauder, which she characterizes as best in class, and shares how they equipped her with an edge that allowed her to be more effective at indie brands. To close the show, Lucia shares her goals of learning to live well, re-focusing on gratitude and mindfulness, and staying playful.  In this episode, you will learn:  How naturally building brand love and advocacy can set the stage for organic viral marketing moments. Why maintaining a product-first approach in marketing, coupled with creative and intimate gifting strategies, can lead to success. How genuine relationships with retailers like Sephora can enhance collaboration throughout the brand building process.  Resources: SAIE - https://saiehello.com/ Connect with the Guest: Lucia's LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucia-lucy-perdomo-ruehlemann-4273397/ Connect with Conor Begley & CreatorIQ: Conor's LinkedIn - @conormbegley CreatorIQ LinkedIn - @creatoriq Follow us on social: CreatorIQ YouTube - @TribeDynamics CreatorIQ Instagram - @creatoriq CreatorIQ TikTok - @creator.iq CreatorIQ Twitter - @CreatorIQ

As the CEO reiterated, the company's growth hinges on understanding and responding to consumer trends. Shiseido has maintained product relevance by staying in tune with these evolving patterns and addressing them effectively. The company is continually looking towards the future, focusing on strategies that will enhance profitability and overall performance.

Tiffany Masterson was a stay-at-home mom in her 40s when she launched her skin care brand, Drunk Elephant, in 2013. Six years later, she sold it for $845 million to the Japanese beauty giant Shiseido. Just six years! And she did it all with little to no experience in skin care, retail, or business. The professional branding and skin care world thought she was making huge mistakes: They panned her brand's name, product design, and strategy of focusing on only one high-end retailer. But Tiffany proved them wrong with great strategic instincts, incredible determination, and an unwavering belief in her products - and herself.This episode was produced by Alex Cheng with music by Ramtin Arablouei.Edited by Andrea Bruce, with research from Katherine Sypher.Our audio engineer was Josephine Nyounai.You can follow HIBT on Twitter & Instagram, and email us at hibt@id.wondery.com.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In the second installment of Best of FM, we have Drunk Elephant founder Tiffany Masterson. Just a few months before her company was acquired by Shiseido (for $845 million!), she sat down to share how she built her brand. We talk about marula oil; how she handles social media scandals; the ever-changing definition of clean beauty; the ingredients that are most likely to cause skin sensitivity; and more. FYI: “Best of FM” selections feature Jenn & Jess's favorite interviews with fresh introductions where they share behind-the-scenes secrets. They're perfect for new listeners who may not be sure which episodes to listen to first—and for members of the Fam who may have missed early classics.Products mentioned in this episode: shopmy.us/collections/171425Episode recap with links: fatmascara.com/best-of-fat-mascara Sponsor links & discount codes: fatmascara.com/sponsorsPrivate Facebook Group: Fat Mascara Raising a WandSocial media: @fatmascara, @jessicamatlin, @jenn_editSubmit a "Raise A Wand" product recommendation and be featured on the show: email info@fatmascara.com or leave a voicemail at 646-481-8182 Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/fatmascara.
