Glossier

Beauty and retail brand Glossier has built a cult following. The business was founded by Emily Weiss, who started a beauty blog Into the Gloss in 2010. In 2014 she announced the launch of Glossier.com and also unveiled the brand’s first beauty products available to buy. Glossier makes the majority of its revenue from online, however it does have stores in America and the UK and several pop-ups.
