Your Boss Wants You Addicted

  • Mar 9

The beauty industry is going through a major shakeup.


This week on GlowJob, we break down why Pat McGrath Labs is being shopped for sale after its billion-dollar peak, and why Gen Z acne brand Starface just raised $105M despite already being profitable. We also unpack Saks’ $1B bankruptcy loan and what its vendor payment crisis could mean for the future of department store beauty.


Beyond the business headlines, we get into the culture shaping the industry right now — from the return of ultra-thin celebrity body trends to the surprising rise of Zyn nicotine pouches in tech offices, where companies are reportedly offering them as a workplace perk as nicotine gets rebranded as a productivity “biohack.”


Plus: biotech K-beauty entering Sephora, Summer Fridays launching fragrance, a new allergy-meets-beauty brand at Ulta, and the Lipstick Lesbians launching a consumer-driven beauty incubator.
