A biography for Emily Weisshasn’t been written yet.
“I think reality television has made the fashion industry and the beauty industry, any industry - frankly, just life - it has made life seem much different than it really is.”
“When Glossier launched in the U.S. back in 2014, it felt small - but in a good way. We were able to introduce ourselves locally, start a community, and build something special together.”
“I love someone with something to prove.”
“I grew up in a conservative New England town and showed up to my middle school orientation dressed like 'Clueless' while everyone else was wearing J. Crew and lacrosse uniforms. I never really fit into that preppy look.”
“I like a semi-stressful massage - one where I can really feel something being worked out.”
“My first lip balms were Bonne Bell Lip Smackers, which, correct me if I'm wrong, sometimes had little bracelets attached to the caps-meaning your lip balm could idly dangle from your wrist like a charm bracelet when not in use, not unlike some iPhone accessories.”
“Instagram has a faster chance of reaching me than CNN, and if I really want to know what's going on, I refresh my Twitter feed.”
“I am crazy for good branding and really admire companies that get it right.”
“The ideal intern is committed, creative, organized, ambitious, independent, and able to crack a smile, whether meeting a celebrity or folding socks.”
“Unlike a celebrity, there's nothing I won't try and nothing I won't talk about when it comes to my hair. If I were to get a tattoo on my inner upper arm, it would read, 'Change thy hair, change thyself.'”
“You can make a million excuses for why something didn't go well, but ultimately, just fix it and get on with it. Be a solutions person.”
“We'll continue to invest in new technology because we think every woman should have the ability to be connected through her beauty knowledge, opinions, products, and routine.”
“You don't need most beauty products. They're an emotional purchase. That's why the conversations are really important. What choice do you have but to ask your customer what they want?”
“I've had some not-great experiences with laser hair removal, probably because I haven't done what they told me.”
“Augmenting your appearance so drastically that it elicits a reaction from literally every acquaintance you greet is a sea change.”
“In my humble opinion, having tons of products and furniture and magazines and clothes is not luxurious - living minimally is.”
“I feel like I have time to think when I'm in L.A. There's something about the spaciousness of it.”
“Into The Gloss is buoyed by the people on it, the people who read it and discuss it, and the people who work on it.”
“My December is typically one big, sweaty 'wintry mix' blur, not a punch-laden, heartwarming mixer.”
“A huge number of women are shopping for beauty products based on recommendations from friends, and we really look to be that friend.”
