Glossier is rethinking its “Play” line and makeup strategy
Last year, Glossier announced a new beauty line that went by the name “Glossier Play” — and its colored liners and shiny lip lacquers quickly became media hype. But when the sales didn’t reach the heights of the frenzy, the brand decided to rethink its separate brand strategy. “We thought, why don’t we create a different brand…so that it’ll differentiate more intense makeup product from less intense makeup product,” Emily Weiss told Business of Fashion on the initial idea. Glossier realized that moving forward, the goal for the beauty brand is extension, not reinvention, as the company already boasts high sales without the need of new lines for growth. {Business of Fashion}

The first “BEAT” collection is said to arrive in April on the Farfetch app. {Fashionista Inbox}

Drunk Elephant drops new details on its hair care line 
Drunk Elephant recently announced its venture into hair care, and founder Tiffany Masterson tells InStyle how her best-friend relationship with iconic hairstylist Chris McMillan helped the line come to reality. With McMillan’s knowledge of hair styling and Masterson’s knowledge of clean ingredients, it’s set to be a good one. “He knows hair and I know skin, and scalp is skin, so it just made sense for us to come together and develop a line that addresses both.” Masterson told InStyle. The line is set to hit shelves on April 3, and will feature a shampoo, conditioner, detangling spray and scalp scrub — all free of essential oils, sulfates, fragrances and silicones. {InStyle}
