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.

LIBERTY Sessions with Nada Jones | Celebrating women who do & inspiring women who can |

Annie Jackson has been a key player in the successes of the industry's most prominent beauty companies. Annie began her career at Estée Lauder, where, after six years, she was recruited to be one of the early members of the team that launched Sephora USA and Japan. Later, she took on the role of Director of Global Product Marketing for Benefit Cosmetics and, in 2011, returned to her roots in merchandising for color cosmetics at Sephora within JCPenney. Her love of beauty and quest for cleaner options led her, alongside Shashi Batra, to create Credo Beauty. As Co-founders, they shared a vision to change the way people think about what they put in and on their bodies and skin, fostering a new generation of beauty brands—natural, organic, effective, clean, and sustainable—and to pioneer the clean beauty movement. In today's episode, Nada talks with Annie about the non-traditional path that led her to the beauty industry. Annie shares her ambitious jump into adulthood when she crossed the country without the benefit of family or a degree, but found herself with a dream job at Estée Lauder. After spending time at two global brands, Annie took a break to be with her children, and later, she returned to the beauty space when an industry friend lured her back with a new vision. She recalls her initial hesitancy when her soon-to-be business partner, Shashi, pitched the idea of Credo. She quickly discovered her passion for clean beauty and an opportunity to reshape the industry by offering consumers transparency and skincare alternatives that were good for them and the planet.

In this episode of Where Brains Meet Beauty we meet Kevin Kim the Director of Beauty & Personal Care Investment Banking at Raymond James. His career journey didn't begin with balance sheets and deal rooms it began with medicine.As the oldest son of two psychiatrists, Kevin grew up assuming he'd follow in their footsteps. But by late high school, he realized his path needed to be his own. Drawn to a more global career, he pivoted from pre-med aspirations to business, ultimately landing in investment banking.His early years at Houlihan Lokey provided a crash course in analytics and resilience. But financial services M&A, mortgage servicing rights and insurance deals left him craving work that was more dynamic, more connected to culture. That pivot came when he joined boutique bank Financo in New York, where a chance partnership with beauty M&A legend Vinetta Coleridge introduced him to founder-led brands and the artistry of storytelling in finance.From helping Lily Gordon of First Aid Beauty raise early capital, to later selling the brand to P&G, Kevin learned that beauty transactions are never just about numbers, they're about people. Founders bring vision, quirks, and dreams to the table, and he leaned on skills inherited from his psychiatrist parents: listening deeply, decoding motivations, and helping brands show up as their best selves when it matters most.Today at Raymond James, Kevin has worked on more than 25 beauty deals, guiding brands through capital raises, acquisitions, and exits. He and his team specialize in founder-led businesses, translating brand “sparkle” into financial value while advising buyers on how to preserve the magic post-acquisition. His lens is global covering fragrance booms in Paris, K-beauty trends from Seoul, and indie darlings in Sephora aisles.His leadership style reflects the same ethos: hands-on, people-first, and rooted in immersion. New analysts join him on “Sephora field trips,” learning that to advise in beauty, you must love the category, feel the consumer pulse, and respect its nuances.For Kevin the real thrill isn't just closing a deal it's knowing that a beloved brand has a shot at its next chapter, that founder visions are honored, and that beauty continues to evolve as a global language.Thank you to our sponsor Beauty Connect - get 10% off tickets with code WBMB.

Alli Webb made a name for herself as the visionary behind the blow-dry empire Drybar, and now, she's stepping back into the world of haircare—this time with an entirely different approach. Her new haircare brand, Messy, which launched in Sephora and online earlier this summer, focuses on embracing your natural hair rather than trying to achieve the “perfect” blowout. The brand's ethos is directly tied to Webb's personal journey of leaving perfectionism behind after exiting Drybar in 2020. In this episode, she discusses how she developed the mantra-based product names, why the only thing she's “anti” is the idea of perfection, and the relationship between Messy and the “clean girl” aesthetic.

Haïti : Laurent Saint-Cyr peut «aussi bien sauver la transition que l'enfoncer»

En Haïti, Laurent Saint-Cyr prend la tête du Conseil présidentiel de transition ce mercredi (6 août 2025). Comme prévu, lors de sa création en avril 2024, la présidence du CPT change tous les cinq mois. Il succède, donc, à Fritz Alphonse Jean et va devoir tenter de convaincre des Haïtiens désabusés, notamment face à la dégradation de la situation sécuritaire. «Le CPT est passé totalement à côté de sa mission. C'est un échec», estime ainsi Sephora, étudiante haïtienne interrogée par le correspondant de RFI à Port-au-Prince, Peterson Luxama. Pour Frantz Duval, rédacteur en chef du Nouvelliste, Laurent Saint-Cyr et le Premier ministre Alix Didier Fils-Aimé «peuvent aussi bien sauver la transition que l'enfoncer». Provoquer un naufrage en règle ou tenter une césarienne in extremis. «C'est un peu la présidence tournante de la dernière chance», explique notre confrère haïtien qui rappelle que le CPT est censé remettre le pouvoir à des élus, le 7 février 2026. Les dirigeants haïtiens ont donc beaucoup à faire. «Or, pour l'instant, ils n'ont pas fait grand chose», souligne Frantz Duval. «Il faut remettre l'efficacité au service de la population, mettre l'intérêt du pays au premier plan et aussi remettre un peu de moralité dans tout cela», estime le journaliste. «Les membres du CPT ont été nommés mais n'ont pas été élus. Ils ont accaparé les fonctions et les privilèges, sans jamais assumer les responsabilités», juge-t-il. «Ils ne s'entendent sur absolument rien de ce qui est important», constate encore Frantz Duval.   En Bolivie, le lithium, enjeu de la présidentielle En Bolivie, l'élection présidentielle aura lieu le 17 août 2025. Un dossier pourrait peser sur le résultat du scrutin : le cas du lithium. Le pays possède les plus importantes ressources mondiales de ce métal indispensable à la fabrication de batteries, mais il peine à industrialiser le secteur. Deux entreprises, une russe et une chinoise, prévoient de venir extraire du lithium, mais les communautés locales s'inquiètent du peu de transparence autour de ce projet, et des potentielles conséquences de l'extraction sur leurs ressources en eau. Reportage de Nils Sabin.   Le Washington Post dévoile une partie du contenu du rapport américain sur les droits humains Le Washington Post a eu accès à certaines parties de la version quasi-définitive du très attendu Rapport annuel sur les droits humains dans le monde rédigé par le département d'État américain. Exit les accusations de mauvais traitements envers les prisonniers, de discrimination à l'encontre de personnes LGBTQ+ ou de corruption dans les chapitres consacrés au Salvador, à Israël et à la Russie que le Washington Post a pu lire. Il reste bien quelques mentions d'abus perpétrés par le gouvernement mais ils ont été atténués, précise encore le journal. Du coup, ces parties sont beaucoup plus courtes que sous Joe Biden et bien différentes aussi, voire en contradiction flagrante. Par exemple, au sujet du Salvador, on peut lire que les États-Unis n'ont reçu «aucun rapport crédible de violations significatives des droits humains» en 2024, que la violence carcérale a considérablement diminué dans le pays et que les assassinats supposés font l'objet d'enquêtes de la part du gouvernement, alors qu'en 2023, l'administration Biden dénonçait des meurtres, des cas de tortures et des conditions de détention (...) potentiellement mortelles. Il faut dire, précise le Washington Post, que le Salvador a accepté d'incarcérer des migrants renvoyés des États-Unis. Du côté du département d'État, on explique que le rapport 2024 «a été restructuré (...) afin de le rendre plus lisible». Il se concentre sur les «questions fondamentales», ajoute cette source anonyme, comme par exemple, le recul de la liberté d'expression. L'administration Trump «ne s'intéresse qu'aux droits humains de certaines personnes... dans certains pays, quand ça l'arrange», se désole dans les colonnes du journal Keifer Buckingham, ancien employé du département d'État. Plus généralement, c'est toute la conception de la démocratie que le président américain remet en cause, analyse le quotidien qui raconte qu'en juillet 2025, Marco Rubio a envoyé des instructions aux diplomates américains. Ils ne doivent plus commenter les résultats des élections qui ont lieu dans d'autres pays. Interdiction même dire que le scrutin a été juste et équitable. Motus et bouche cousue «à moins que ce ne soit dans l'intérêt de la politique étrangère américaine de le faire.»   Les cartels mexicains accroissent leur présence à l'étranger Grâce aux travaux du chercheur Víctor Manuel Sánchez Valdés, on apprend que le Cartel de Sinaloa est présent dans 96 pays quand son rival, le Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación n'est, lui implanté que dans 61 États. Ces groupes «reçoivent de la cocaïne d'organisations colombiennes, achètent des armes aux États-Unis, fabriquent des drogues synthétiques avec des précurseurs chimiques venus de Chine et blanchissent leurs bénéfices grâce aux systèmes financiers des Émirats arabes unis», résume El Universal. Si ces cartels étendent leur emprise sur toujours plus de pays, c'est tout simplement pour gagner plus d'argent. Ils privilégient les pays où aucune organisation ne répond à la demande locale, et ceux qui leur sont utiles soit parce qu'ils peuvent s'y fournir en produits chimiques, soit parce que le pays est un point de passage essentiel pour le trafic de drogue, explique Victor Manuel Sanchez Valdes. Selon lui, la seule solution pour démembrer ces réseaux, c'est que les autorités des pays concernés travaillent ensemble.   Adidas accusé d'appropriation culturelle Les sandales Oaxaca Slip-on d'Adidas seraient une copie des huaraches, les sandales traditionnelles portées par la communauté zapotèque du village Villa Hidalgo Yalalag. Or, cette population autochtone n'a été ni consultée, ni associée à ce projet, rapporte le journal Proceso. Les autorités mexicaines rappellent que c'est illégal. Il existe au Mexique une loi de protection du patrimoine culturel des peuples et des communautés indigènes et afromexicaines. Selon El Universal, elles demandent à Adidas de cesser de vendre les Oaxaca Slip-on et menacent de saisir la justice. Ce n'est pas la première fois que la culture de la région de Oaxaca est ainsi pillée, rappelle Proceso qui cite Zara, Isabel Marant ou bien encore Levis.   Le journal de la 1ère Benoît Ferrand nous parle d'un projet afin de construire un mémorial caribéen des catastrophes naturelles.

Starting in Los Angeles with Hyundai dealers, the program will soon roll out to more cities nationwide.Hyundai dealers can now list used and CPO cars, including non-Hyundai models.Vehicles come with a 3-day/300-mile return policy and a 30-day/1,000-mile warranty.Amazon promises transparent pricing, history reports, and no hidden fees.Customers can browse inventory within 75 miles and schedule test drives online.Amazon's Fan Jin: “This move continues our commitment to support local dealerships, now connecting dealers with more prospective customers online across new, certified pre-owned, and used vehicle categories.”Todd Caputo on LinkedIn: “Amazon sells purchases — not just eyeballs, phone calls, and form fills. Most dealers still make car buying way harder than it has to be. Amazon won't.”Rivian is taking Ohio to court, arguing the state's 2014 ban on direct-to-consumer sales is unconstitutional — especially since Tesla was granted a carve-out to sell under the very same law.Tesla was allowed to operate three Ohio stores under a special exemption.Rivian already runs service centers in the state but must sell cars elsewhere and deliver them in.Rivian says the law shields franchised dealers and seeks an injunction to stop enforcement of the banRivian's filing states: “It reduces competition, decreases consumer choice and drives up consumer costs and inconvenience — all of which harm consumers — with literally no countervailing benefit.”For the first time ever, Ikea is teaming up with another retailer — and the partner is Best Buy. The collaboration will bring mini Ikea showrooms into electronics stores, starting with kitchens and laundry setups.The first 10 hubs launch this fall in Florida and Texas, averaging 1,000 square feet each.Customers can shop Ikea furnishings paired with Best Buy appliances and get design consultations.Two locations will serve as Ikea order pickup centers, expanding fulfillment options.The partnership mirrors Target's Ulta and Kohl's Sephora mini-stores — aiming for “one-stop home solutions.”Ikea COO Rob Olson: “This new partnership is really allowing us to bring the Ikea experience closer to where people live.”Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Beauty Brand Founder Celebrates South-Asian Culture While Appealing To The Mainstream Market Because of Community, Representation, and Inclusivity

Beauty brand founder, Priyanka Ganjoo, created Kulfi Beauty with a mission to celebrate South-Asian culture and allowing room for embracing diversity, community, and joy. In just a few years, Priyanka went from being on the corporate side of the beauty industry to launching the first South Asian-owned makeup brand in all Sephora stores across North America. She is driven by a mission to celebrate individuality, and the result is that Kulfi has cultivated a thriving, engaged community while also tying in to her original purpose of filling a major gap in the beauty market. Her company is successfully bridging South Asian beauty with mainstream appeal, which is easily demonstrated by looking at their social media, models, branding, and more.Priyanka worked on the corporate side of the beauty industry for 5 years and saw first-hand how South Asians were underrepresented. After constantly searching for products that matched her skin tone and feeling like an outsider in the industry, she wanted to create more inclusive products. She launched Kulfi in 2021. Shortly afterwards, Kulfi's cult-favorite kajal eyeliners, concealers, and eyeshadows won awards from Allure and Byrdie. Contact Info:Priyanka Ganjoo - GuestPriyanka Ganjoo (Instagram)Kulfi Beauty websiteJulie Berman - Hostwww.womenwithcooljobs.com@womencooljobs (Instagram)Julie Berman (LinkedIn) Send Julie a text!!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I absolutely LOVE being the host and producer of "Women with Cool Jobs", where I interview women who have unique, trailblazing, and innovative careers.

Alina Roytberg and Lev Glazman, co-founders of Fresh, built one of the first modern skincare brands rooted in natural ingredients, sensorial experience, and emotional connection—long before “clean beauty” became a trend. In this episode, they share how they turned a personal frustration with conventional products into a business that caught the attention of Barneys, Sephora, and eventually LVMH. We talk about the $10,000 gamble that launched their first store, the soap that flew off shelves without any marketing, and the costly mistake of chasing too many opportunities at once. They also open up about what it was really like being acquired by a luxury giant, maintaining creative control, and why clarity, discipline, and customer trust are still their guiding principles. This is a conversation about growth with intention, learning through missteps, and staying connected to the original spark that started it all. While our last episode officially wrapped Season 5, we couldn't resist sharing this bonus conversation before we take a short break. We'll be back next season—one more story of risk, resilience, and the long game of building something meaningful. Key Takeaways and Topics: The emotional and sensory philosophy behind Fresh's product development Why their soaps sold out at Barneys within days—and what they did next The failed attempt to launch a subbrand (Index) at Bergdorf and the costly lesson in diluted focus Building a brand through education and storytelling—before the internet The early days of clean beauty and why they focused on what's in the product How LVMH acquired Fresh while allowing the founders to retain autonomy and creative control Navigating acquisition and learning how to lead within a global conglomerate   The Failure Factor Podcast was brought to you by Off The Field Coaching.
