“Products are a way to connect with - or disconnect from - who you are.”
“So much of venture capital is pattern recognition.”
“I'm a lover and consumer of beauty.”
“We're trying to create one holistic beauty experience where you can be inspired by other women, both the people we're interviewing and the community contributing to the conversation.”
“Your skin is like a plant. You have to water it. Make sure it's hydrated, not just squeaky clean.”
“Over the years of running Into The Gloss, I began to see a gap in the way beauty companies were creating products and marketing them to women. There wasn't one brand that really spoke to girls like me, who created products for real life. So we set out to create that brand with Glossier.”
“When your lips get dry, is there anything more frantic?”
“I've never been one for color theory or color wheels or undertone rules or anything like that. I don't know if my red lipstick 'should' be more blue or more orange.”
“Glossier is not about throwing out everything you're using. If you want to keep using your retinols, your SPFs, of course you should continue.”
“Sunscreen, in the world of beauty, is the ultimate in adulting.”
“The single guiding principle that I try to follow, assuming blindly that the rest will fall into place, is to operate squarely in the present. I think it's one of the most difficult things for anyone to do.”
“Ultimately, we're making and selling a consumer good that needs to work and that needs to make customers happy.”
“I approached fundraising as an opportunity to align myself with partners who have more varied experience and diverse backgrounds than I do to help bring Glossier to life.”
“This is hard to admit, but historically, I haven't worn sunscreen. I know - not good.”
“Freedom and confidence are two different things, in my book. Confidence is overrated - it can be faked, whereas freedom is fearlessness.”
“I must admit that self-tanner is one beauty arena I've been hesitant to explore, let alone fully embrace.”
“For male and female entrepreneurs alike, having a woman investor can bring credibility when discussing product positioning and expansion opportunities.”
“The great thing about interning at 'Teen Vogue' is that there is so much room for growth; interns here do incredible things if they work hard enough and think outside the box.”
“In our product development cycle, we ask and listen to our customer about what she wants.”
“At Glossier, we're creating an edited collection of the best essential products. These are the ones that you reach for every day and will always have a place on your top shelf.”
