This week on GlowJob’s News Roundup, we break down the biggest beauty, business, and pop culture headlines shaking the industry.
Ulta’s Beauty World event sells out in minutes — but fans are furious after thousands of influencer tickets cut the line. Meanwhile, Sephora partners with Olive Young to bring K-Beauty mainstream, e.l.f. enters fragrance with H&M, and legacy brands like Malin+Goetz and Cover FX shut down stores.
Plus:
• Hermès allegedly vets clients’ net worth before selling Birkins
• TikTok restructures under U.S. ownership and updates data policies
• Sydney Sweeney launches a lingerie line
• Sundance and Davos relocate to new cities
• And Pat McGrath Labs officially files Chapter 11 bankruptcy
We cut through the hype and explain what it actually means for founders, creators, and beauty consumers.
