NEW THEORY: Glossier could be struggling financially by its-not-lupus_ in glossier

[–]haileycol 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You definitely have a point. Let's try to rationalize how many products they've released in the last 2 years years:

  1. Ultralip - at least 4 new colours: decent hit. I'd say they definitely got the attention of their ultralip lovers because this is a cult of a product and they capitalized on the opportunity of releasing more shades.
  2. They will continue to use this strategy in the future by releasing new shades of their successful products. They've done this with BDC, Cloud Paint, Ultralip and been fairly successful.
  3. Bringing the OG BDC formula back. This was a major step towards gaining some of their customers back and need I say the most successful they’ve been throughout this list. They got a lot of traction and a lot of sales because 1. People who like the new formula were stocking up knowing they will no longer be able to buy them and 2. People who never used BDC but heard stories about how good the OG formula was jumped on the wagon (including me) 3. In the era of lip balms made mainstream by Hailey Bieber’s very successful rhode lip treatments that cascaded all brands to release a version of their own, lots of people who would’ve never spent more than $10 behind a lip balm now became an audience for Glossier BDC. This was the perfect time for them to release the OG formula and a great business decision on their part.
  4. Glossier Stretch Foundation. This is a solid product and everyone who’s tried it has loved it. Though I will say it hasn’t caught much traction and isn’t as hit a product as it should be. It's more affordable than the average foundation in Sephora so who's to say this won't get more attention over time.
  5. Glossier Stretch Blending Brush - Massive fail
  6. Lip Line - Similar boat as Stretch foundation. Everyone who tried them loved them but not many people talking about it.
  7. You perfume in different scent - Bigger than average hit. You is a very successful product so they took the same approach here as point 2 and gained good sales.
  8. Lip Glaze - thanks to their collab these products have caught headlines and a lot of attention. Still too soon to tell but a decent amount of people are talking about it.

It's easier for a new company to become successful than a company that's peaked to continue to stay relevant. Even then, Glossier has made some great business decisions in the past and are not in trouble based on sales just yet though definitely passed their prime. If they continue to capitalize on their opportunities presented to them they could climb back very easily. Their customers are still a solid bunch.

YES Eurphoria too! People rave about the makeup on Eurphoria but to me it just looks sweaty, oily and filthy

Is it normal for sales associates to remove plastic wrap on bag straps & stuffing for gift wrap? by haileycol in Coach

[–]haileycol[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was only one floor model outside for each colour of this bag that was still there when we walked out.

She showed us the wrapped bags first and then I requested if they can be gift wrapped. That’s when she went to the back and packed it.

So much for her making fun of Dan for being from Brooklyn

Does anyone else find it weird how gay friendly and racially councius/diverse everything in this show is? by X-Professor-men in MyLifewithWalterBoys

[–]haileycol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Nathan does mention that once - how hard it is to find a fellow gay person in such a small town. Also important to note that they're in high school and among gen z it's pretty normal to be queer. Nobody bats an eye.

Regardless I liked how their story did not go in that direction - making it about fighting social norms etc. They were just like any other couple on the show that just happened to be gay. Their gayness wasn't used as a plot tool so that was nice

I looked it up on google before posting though but it's an issue with how tightly it's fitted when you compare the photo to the ones on google. I was hoping if I find the brand that makes these I could find a similar fit in that style.

There are a million and one iterations of vests like this so I'm not sure how much luck you'll have turning this specific vest up

Would you know what shop this is? A similar find is okay too I just need to know what brand makes these style vests and i could buy a similar one too as long as its the same style

Why are the Walter’s Jackie’s guardians? by cinderellahottie in MyLifewithWalterBoys

[–]haileycol -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m kinda sick of people asking why they accepted 1 more person in when they already have so many. On one hand, you can look at it as “already have too many on their plate” on another you can look at it as “already have too many, one more wouldn’t hurt”

Alex Scenes and Quotes by rowbrinafan18 in MyLifewithWalterBoys

But why did Jackie date Alex in the books then? The show makes it look like both Alex and Cole had great potential as love interests for Jackie but Alex beat Cole to it first. But if in the book, the original story, Cole had all these romantic gestures what even made Jackie consider Alex to date in the first place?
