The focus really shifted back and forth between glossier and Weiss, but still- an interesting female ceo story, that could have been a long article.

Gonna try to fit these in with all the holiday books. #bookspin #doublespin
An interesting commentary on the development of the Glossier brand and the vision of its elusive founder Emily Weiss. Perhaps a little like expose than the blurb makes it seem, I still found this an interesting story about brand development and women in leadership.
I‘m not a makeup expert and I don‘t follow the popular brands, but I‘m always here for a behind the scenes look at companies and their ceos, especially if it‘s scandalous. 😆 I‘m sorry to report that there‘s really not a scandal here. The author just seems to be mystified and fascinated by Emily Weiss, founder of Glossier, which absolutely blew up! It‘s a light pick for me, since there‘s no tell-all though I was led to believe there would be??
I‘ve never used Glossier products, but I‘m usually up for a good business bio. This one was frustrating for me (and probably the writer, too) because for as many times as Meltzer talked to Weiss, she never got to the heart of who Weiss was, but Meltzer also didn‘t report enough on just the business to make this a bio of Glossier the business. Idk. It was interesting but lacked focus. A quick read if you‘re a Glossier/Weiss fan, though.
