This week’s episode is all about Glossier; how it started and how it's going! If you've kept up with the beauty headlines lately, you'll know that on January 26th Glossier laid off a third of its staff, almost completely from its tech department. Of course the beauty and finance worlds instantly started speculating; what could be next? The Business of Fashion even did a whole webinar discussing 'the demise of Glossier' but really, I don't think it's that deep.

In this episode I speak with the woman fast becoming the go-to for easy to digest TikTok content focused on finance, branding, strategy and more. In her TikTok bio @iamdulma describes her account as TikTok B school for women and she actually kind of predicted the potential pitfalls the brand might face back in November, so I had to invite her on to get her take on what's next for the $1.8billion brand. I also spoke with my friend and very aesthetically-minded Glossier fan @keisha_rachele to get her views as a consumer. This isn’t a clickbait episode and it’s not a bashing episode either; it’s me opening up a discussion, and I'd love for you to get involved too! You can either answer my Q&A on Spotify or drop me a DM over @beautymepodcast or email me beautymepodcast@gmail.com. What do you think is next? What would you like to see from Glossier? Or are you living in a country that the brand doesn't even ship to? Do you think this episode needs a part 2? Let me know!
