We wanted Glossier to have an excellent customer experience and reach as many of you as possible from day one, so we went with venture - the stuff fast-growth, tech-enabled companies like Facebook, Amazon, and Apple are made of.
Quote by -Emily Weiss
Throughout your teens and twenties, it's pretty easy to live in a suspended reality - one where you never get old or need to spend much time thinking about 401Ks, mammograms, or renewing your license. You don't need me to tell you: that ends.
Quote by -Emily Weiss
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.
Quote by -Emily Weiss
I have long been of the mindset that aviators are like leather jackets - when they're perfect, they give you 'instant cool.' They're the Alexa Chung of sunglasses.
Quote by -Emily Weiss
My brain puts baths in the same category as yoga: it'd be 'nice' to relax for an hour, but I just want a 10-minute, high-impact workout; get in, get out. Showers are my cardio.
Quote by -Emily Weiss
A huge number of women are shopping for beauty products based on recommendations from friends, and we really look to be that friend.
Quote by -Emily Weiss
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.'
Quote by -Emily Weiss
I've had some not-great experiences with laser hair removal, probably because I haven't done what they told me.
Quote by -Emily Weiss
French pharmacies probably feel like CVS to French people, but to me, they feel like a real-life version of 'Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.'
Quote by -Emily Weiss
People talk about body cleanses like there's no tomorrow - what about apartment cleanses?
Quote by -Emily Weiss
Toronto girls are super interested in skincare, which is actually kind of unique. Because in New York, the girls seem to be mostly interested in makeup.
Quote by -Emily Weiss
When I think of baths, I generally think of children, the elderly, couples, and the English. Who takes baths? I mean, seriously - none of my friends take baths.
Quote by -Emily Weiss
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.
Quote by -Emily Weiss
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.
Quote by -Emily Weiss
For male and female entrepreneurs alike, having a woman investor can bring credibility when discussing product positioning and expansion opportunities.
Quote by -Emily Weiss
Freedom and confidence are two different things, in my book. Confidence is overrated - it can be faked, whereas freedom is fearlessness.
Quote by -Emily Weiss
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.
Quote by -Emily Weiss
I just grew up loving beauty products. Going to the mall, and the Stila counter in the '90s. I was obsessed with hair dye.
Quote by -Emily Weiss
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.
Quote by -Emily Weiss
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.
Quote by -Emily Weiss
The creation of 'Into The Gloss' took less than a month. Glossier took twelve months and about a million dollars to hire the team, work with the chemists, order the inventory, get an office - you know, the whole thing.
Quote by -Emily Weiss
I knew that I wanted to intern at 'Teen Vogue' from the moment the first issue hit newsstands. Luckily, the team at Polo Ralph Lauren, where I interned during high school, really believed in me and arranged for an interview with the editors.
Quote by -Emily Weiss
If I want to know how to do a black cat eye, I don't drive to a department store. I'll go on YouTube, cross-check reviews of a product, and then maybe talk about it on Instagram.
Quote by -Emily Weiss
My wardrobe falls into two camps most of the time: either very monochromatic and tailored or really vintagey, with '30s and '40s-style long floral dresses. I don't buy that much, so every time I invest in something new, it has to elevate what I have hanging in my closet.
Quote by -Emily Weiss
'Into The Gloss,' what I think it did so well was create a conversation around beauty and make beauty the main event as opposed to the ugly step-sister, which it often is in magazines.
Quote by -Emily Weiss
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.
Quote by -Emily Weiss
This is hard to admit, but historically, I haven't worn sunscreen. I know - not good.
Quote by -Emily Weiss
My musical inclinations are fine and dandy within the confines of my ears and my earphones but don't sit well with others.
Quote by -Emily Weiss
Our message has always transcended borders and cultures and is central to who we are as a brand.
Quote by -Emily Weiss
At 'Vogue,' I was responsible for a lot of production work, and production work is highly detailed, and you have to be very resourceful to fit a square peg into a round hole. I learned to push the envelope when it comes to asking questions or making requests.
Quote by -Emily Weiss
My desk is more of a place where I set my stuff, and then I move around. If I'm at the office, I'm usually wandering around to different meeting rooms all day or taking people out or making tea. I'm rarely at my desk; it's just a place to hang my hat.
Quote by -Emily Weiss
When you own a pair of haircutting scissors, you cut your own hair constantly.
Quote by -Emily Weiss
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.
Quote by -Emily Weiss
I must admit that self-tanner is one beauty arena I've been hesitant to explore, let alone fully embrace.
Quote by -Emily Weiss
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.
Quote by -Emily Weiss
I am, in fact, a candle salesperson's worst nightmare - or dream come true, depending on the salesperson.
Quote by -Emily Weiss
People often ask me, 'How do you go about choosing who to feature on Into The Gloss?' And I've never had a great answer. Ultimately, I think the #1 thing that draws me to someone is their sense of freedom.
