Sable went to Miami for too long. Tynan discovers what a buy-out is for Rhode Beauty's M&A. We both went to Nette's Lemon Puff fete. We smell the new D.S. & Durga cologne collection, with unexpected results. We talk about Krigler's newest fragrance and Violet Grey's first fragrance, only one of which we've smelled, but both may as well be Klarna bait for anyone who wants to own them. It's a Smell Ya Later catch-up. [What we smell like today: Nette Lemon Puff, Orto Parisi Seminales]

According to market research analytics companies and retail industry trade groups, American consumers are forecasted to spend nearly a trillion dollars on holiday shopping this year.  Specifically, shoppers could spend around $1,778 each, up 8% from 2023, according to new data released by Deloitte. Meanwhile, holiday sales could grow an estimated 2.5-3.5% to reach $990 billion in sales from November 1 to December 31, up from $964.4 billion in 2023, according to the National Retail Federation.  However, how consumers will spend this money — and on what — has yet to be seen. In this special Thanksgiving crossover episode with sister publication Modern Retail, Glossy Beauty Podcast co-hosts Lexy Lebsack and Sara Spruch-Feiner are joined by Modern Retail editor-in-chief Cale Guthrie Weissman to discuss BFCM retail trends.  This includes the growing bifurcation between prestige and value shopping. For example, the new luxury experiential brick-and-mortar shops from Chanel, Dior, Laneige and Violet Grey fall in sharp contrast to the “crazy low prices” promised by Amazon's newest site, Haul. The site seeks to compete with low-price shopping on Temu, TikTok Shop and Alibaba.  The discussion also dives into current retail challenges, like abbreviated shipping times and the forthcoming return rush, as well as the concept of “chaos shopping,” all in today's episode.  The Modern Retail Podcast, hosted by Weissman and Gabi Barkho, senior reporter at Modern Retail, airs every Thursday.

After more than seven years in business, Angela Caglia Skincare is having its hockey stick moment.  “Our sales are up 437% in the past year,” founder Angela Caglia told Glossy. “We'll finish this year at close to $4 million [in sales] and around 90% of that will be the Cell Forté Serum; it's all we're promoting.” Since launching the hero product in October 2023, the brand's Cell Forté Serum has garnered several beauty industry awards from publications like Elle, Byrdie, TZR and Essence, and sold out three times on Violet Grey. And it was the catalyst for the brand's expansion into Nordstrom last month.  Caglia's focus now is keeping the serum in stock, and she hopes to expand the franchise next year with face and eye creams. The serum retails for $395 for 1 ounce. The serum's value proposition rests on its ability to replace antioxidant and hydrating serums, like those focused on vitamin C and hyaluronic acid, as well as exfoliating products and retinols, Caglia told Glossy.  The brand leads marketing materials with results from a 28-day clinical study where nearly all participants (87-91%) reported less hyperpigmentation, increased luminosity, improved skin elasticity and a more youthful appearance.  The serum is powered by "human-derived adipose mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) conditioned media," a technology Caglia discovered when researching treatment options for her mother's ongoing treatment of dementia. Today, she sources the material from a stem cell research lab based in Texas that specializes in stem cell banking and FDA-cleared clinical trials, she told Glossy. MSC-conditioned media is sourced from fat, called adipose tissue, which is donated by young and healthy plastic surgery patients and then processed in a lab. As Caglia explained in the latest Glossy Podcast episode, the stem cells are removed from the tissue and placed in a human-like environment where they excrete growth factors, cytokines and proteins, which are then used in the serum. The stem cells, which hold the patient's DNA, are removed before the broth goes into the serum.  Growth factors are a bit like little emails: They tell the other cells how to regenerate and act younger, which we don't fully understand yet.  Caglia is only one of very few brands playing in this space. Whereas there are many brands — like Eighth Day and Dr Diamond Metacine — that offer "bio-identical copies" of growth factors, few brands offer human-derived versions of growth factors.  According to market research company Spate, growth factors are a rising trend in online searches alongside skin care, with an average of more than 32,000 Google searches per month over the past year, marking a notable +202.7% surge. Coglia joins the Glossy Beauty Podcast to discuss her new hero product, Cell Forté, as wll as her journey to the brand's hockey stick moment. 

Lauren is joined by Glossy author Marisa Meltzer to discuss what Kim Jones's exit from Fendi says about the luxury pipeline, what Taylor Swift and Blake Lively's controversial outfits say about them (and us), and what the new Armani store on Madison Avenue says about Marisa's savings account (it's diminishing). Plus, they cover some Violet Grey news, the Victoria's Secret runway show, and a whole lot more.

Several big news items to discuss this week: we're hosting a live episode of the pod at Beautycon this year! And we've got a discount code on tickets. Use GLOSSPOD for 25% off! We'll be announcing our special guest next week. Cassandra Grey bought back Violet Grey after Farfetch acquired it (and shortly after dissolved their beauty sector). We dive into why we're excited to see it back in her hands. But the biggest news of the week revolves around Tarte, Hermes bracelets, and gifting etiquette. We're genuinely confused about the brand's current social strategy — even as beauty editors, we rarely know what product is being launched or promoted, as most of the discussion online tends to stem from their unsavory antics. Extravagant press trips and designer gifts are great, but is it getting the brand the return they desire?

I'm a classic film nut, and there's no better example of overblown, dramatic and romantic Hollywood storytelling than the movie Black Narcissus, starring Deborah Kerr. Based on the 1930s Rumer Godden novel, it's a story that shows how women throughout history have so often buried themselves in service to others as they sublimate their own feelings and desires — or more likely, find those desires shamed, controlled and punished. So let's celebrate Women's History Month by enjoying stories where women conduct even the tiniest rebellions against the oppression of their true selves.

In this episode, I'm joined by a constant source of inspiration, Carrie Barber, one of the biggest names in beauty, and the owner and creative director of MAKE Beauty. Carrie shares her story as a multihyphenate entering the beauty industry, the importance of feeling all of your emotions, and how she defines success in a social media-driven world. About MAKE Beauty: Partnering with biotech labs, MAKE formulas utilize sustainably sourced botanical materials, Lab Engineered Natural Ingredients (or L.E.N.I.) and skin-compatible synthetics that push beyond the concept of clean. Both in skincare and cosmetics, these products have less of an impact on the environment, are less irritating to skin and push the boundaries of what is possible in clean cosmetics.Before acquiring MAKE Beauty in 2020, Carrie worked as an Art Director with some of the most influential brands in beauty including Glossier, Sephora, and VIOLET GREY, and played a foundational role in building brands like Augustinus Bader, Versed and U Beauty. In 2021, Carrie relaunched the brand with a forward-looking approach. The focus: “To bring the core pillars of the original brand DNA through, push the brand forward into the next chapter, and redefine the role beauty plays in our lives.”Carrie and I discuss how she ended up in the beauty industry, even though she didn't originally consider herself a “beauty girly.” Carrie also shares the hardships of moving through grief while trying to live in the world, and ultimately, the lessons it brought to her life and relationships.

The beauty industry is filled with experts, dermatologists, aestheticians and makeup artists, all trying to leverage their expertise in an increasingly crowded market. But the cosmetic chemist — the person who formulates products and oversees development — has long stayed behind the scenes. That changed when Ron Robinson debuted his skin-care brand, BeautyStat, where he is founder and CEO. After working as a cosmetic chemist at nearly all of the major beauty companies — including Estée Lauder Companies, Avon, Revlon and L'Oréal, for 25 years — Robinson decided to strike out on his own upon arming himself with compelling data. Robinson saw that there was a lack of stabilized vitamin C serums on the market and simultaneously saw strong Google search data for vitamin C. Thus, BeautyStat debuted with its hero product, the Universal C Skin Refiner in 2019, which Hailey Bieber now calls her “Holy Grail.” The brand, which started as a pure play DTC company, is sold at Violet Grey, Nordstom and Dermstore. Earlier this year, it launched in Ulta Beauty, where it is expanding nationwide. While Robinson was at ease formulating high-quality products, he didn't expect to be such a forward-facing founder. “I had no idea that I would have that type of consumer reception,” said Robinson on the latest episode of the Glossy Beauty Podcast. “I launched the brand with content creators and influencers being the face of the brand, but every time I stepped out in front of the camera and I showed consumers, ‘Hey, this is our vitamin C, this is why it's important to use, this is why you need a stable form,' consumers listened in. They asked questions, they were intrigued. They wanted to try it, they wanted to buy it.”

Victoria Beckham is unstoppable. She has become a style icon—both with her influential personal style and her eponymous ready-to-wear line—and, most recently, a beauty connoisseur with the launch of the clean, inclusive, high-performance beauty brand Victoria Beckham Beauty. With Sarah Creal as the CEO and Beckham as the creative director, the brand has grown tremendously into retailers such as Net-a-Porter and Violet Grey while maintaining unparalleled standards. But both women have quite the backstory. Creal started in product development for some of the biggest brands in the industry, such as Tom Ford, Prada, Estée Lauder, and Bobbi Brown, and as I'm sure you know, Beckham spent her early career touring the world with the Spice Girls. The group produced three studio albums, selling over 100 million records worldwide, making them the best-selling girl group of all time—iconic. She then went on to put out her own album as a solo artist before launching into a fashion career with the acclaimed success of her clothing line. On this episode of Second Life, find out how Beckham and Creal made major career pivots that landed them at the helm of a successful beauty empire.

Prior to Spring she spent 25 years in the fashion industry, highlighted by 9 years as the EVP of Global Sales & Strategy at DVF.

The New York Business Journal honored April as part of their inaugural Women of Influence Awards and her leadership skills were profiled by Women@Forbes. Listen as she speaks with Marisa Runyon about pivoting out of fashion, and the winding path that led to, in her words, drinking out of a fire hose to gain the experience and knowledge she needed to become a CEO, and later co-found THE BOARD.

When it comes to fashion and beauty… ...Do you see it as a form of self expression?  ...Or something you cannot go in public without in order to be accepted? Today we're talking about the effects of the beauty industry on beauty editor Jayme Cyk. She's worked with VIOLET GREY, WWD, and Elle. Now, she is the co-founder of and repeat, a platform that champions stories of daily rituals that directly impact your mental health and open the door to conversations that are commonly spoken about in private.  Jayme courageously shares her personal story with orthorexia and antidepressants, even while still in the thick of figuring it out.  Orthorexia is an unhealthy focus on eating in a healthy way. Jayme describes her experience: “I think about my next meal, I think about the meal that I've already eaten, and what I shouldn't have eaten, eating things that I deem ‘unhealthy'” Tune in to this episode of Raw Beauty Talks to uncover:

In this episode… Since the outbreak of COVID-19, many employees have been left unemployed and without a source of income. There are now scores of people on the job market looking for employment; to top it all off, the competition for whatever’s available is tough. Additionally, unlike the situation a couple of months ago where we had a “seller’s market” and candidates had more power, things have now changed. There are many talented people out in the job market and the time it takes to find the right candidate is now shorter.  Hiring the wrong candidate can be a costly undertaking. Recruiters and hiring managers still need to consider talent and how culturally fit a candidate is before offering them a position in their companies.  In this episode of Elevate Hire, Greg Toroosian interviews Stuart Posin, the Chief Technology Officer at XCLAIM, about how to build talented and culturally fit teams in both startups and growing companies. They also talk about the differences between being an internal versus external technology advisor, the effects of COVID-19 on the recruitment process, and how employees can be their authentic selves while at work. Stay tuned.

Sheena Yaitanes is the founder of Kosas, a clean beauty brand she created in her Los Angeles home in 2015. While studying chemistry and biology at UC Irvine, Sheena found herself frustrated with a beauty industry filled with products that never felt good, healthy, or looked right on her skin. Fusing her scientific background and passion for painting, Sheena set out to create a one-of-a-kind lipstick with a strong focus on clean, non-toxic formula and shades that redefine the idea of nude for all skin tones. The brand launched with four lipstick shades, and every item had to achieve three things: look just right, be easy and straightforward in application, and act as skincare. Today, Kosas has expanded its product line to 12 lipstick shades, lip glosses, balms, makeup cases, and their cult-favorite products, the 10 Second Eyeshadow and Tinted Face Oil. Kosas is sold on Sephora, Goop, and Violet Grey, has a fan base of names like Gwyneth Paltrow and Gisele, and just closed a Series B funding round with investors like Leandra Medine and Scooter Braun. In this episode, Sheena and I talk about how she built a beauty brand from her kitchen table, where Kosas will go with the new investment, and how she wants to redefine the idea of modern beauty.

Heather Rogers, co-owner of Modern Dermatology and the Founder of Doctor Rogers RESTORE shares everything from her childhood days of getting bullied to what products everyone should be using on their skin. Heather’s knowledge on dermatology is unmatched. She opened Modern Dermatology in 2015 and has dedicated her work life to making sure she provides the best care to her patients. While running her practice, her dissatisfaction with the selection of products for healing skin led her to also research and create her own line, Doctor Rogers RESTORE. Her plant-based, hypoallergenic Healing Balm beat out its competitor, Aquaphor in skin healing and patient satisfaction during a split face trial. Her entire skin care line is effective, safe and sustainable. RESTORE is available at beauty retailers including NET-A-PORTER, VIOLET GREY, Revolve, Dermstore, Cos Bar and Credo Beauty as well as dermatology offices across the country. During this episode, you’ll hear about Heather’s journey through school, how she found dermatology and what the process has been like starting and running two companies at the same time. She also talks about the influence her sister’s death has had on her, the importance of human connection and how her busy schedule is making her be more intentional with the way she spends her time.

Since its launch in 2012, Violet Grey has made a name for itself among multi-brand beauty retailers, thanks to a carefully curated selection of products that helps consumers cut through the clutter and get straight to the good stuff. As the company continues to grow and develop its offering, it's making a big push toward content and storytelling, to help consumers learn what Violet Grey is and what it stands for, said CEO April Uchitel. In this week's episode of The Glossy Beauty Podcast, beauty editor Priya Rao sits down with Uchitel to discuss how Violet Grey differentiates itself from other retailers, how it's using editorial content to make luxury seem more accessible and how it's strategizing to build brand awareness.

Jayme left her role as Beauty Director at Violet Grey shortly after our conversation to start her consulting agency, Cannonball Theory, and she was full of all kinds of beauty insider secrets. Violet Grey is the ‘insider beauty edit’. Basically, they’re an editorial meets e-commerce website with a pretty serious vetting process for all products. They work with industry experts like celebrity makeup artists, dermatologists and editors to find the best of the best. The role of Beauty Director at Violet Grey is basically that of an editor, focusing on educating their audience, and creating gorgeous content. Today’s episode is all about skincare and beauty. We cover everything from what it takes to have a successful career in beauty to insider secrets. We go over a ton of buzzy things like CBD products, Korean Beauty Brands, and clean beauty. We also get into the best products for different price points, tips from beauty industry experts and so much more. This episode is an absolute must-listen for anyone who’s into skincare and beauty.

Not everyone is lucky enough to stumble upon a career they're passionate about early in life. For April Gargiulo, the founder of skincare company Vinter's Daughter, it took three college degrees, stints in the design world, and time spent working for the family wine business for her to truly find her calling, and she's just getting started. Despite her untraditional path, she tells Hillary Kerr on episode 20 of Second Life, "There's nothing I would have done differently."

From an early age, Cassandra Grey understood that you have to work for the things you need in life. It's part of what motivated her to not only work at a children's store in high school but eventually go on to manage said store and become a buyer. It's also part of what drove her to create her own, nontraditional PR business in both San Francisco and New York City and what, ultimately, led her to draft the business plan for what's now a multiplatform beauty empire by the name of Violet Grey. "I'm still on the day-to-day hustle," Grey tells Hillary Kerr in Episode 16 of Second Life, where she explains how her entrepreneurial spirit and passion for people guided her through multiple career paths.
