Did I feel powerful? “I was very nervous,” she admits. Glossier. [3] She stayed at her day job at Vogue and worked on Into the Gloss in the mornings between the hours of 4 a.m. and 8 a.m.[3] A popular series on the blog is Top Shelf, where subjects are interviewed in their bathrooms and photos of their shelves and medicine cabinets are featured. [2], Weiss launched Into the Gloss, a blog featuring predominantly interviews with women, in September 2010. “What was your question? “For sure. In 2020, the company announced plans to suspend the line's production. They all want to feel that they look good. She was still at Vogue when Into the Gloss began to look like a success. “I’m like, what if there were a product that deposited some colour, but wasn’t crunchy, wasn’t flaky, didn’t separate your hairs so that you could see skin through it so much, beefed up your brows, made them look a little feathery?” Last year, they sold a Boy Brow every 32 seconds.

I hang out with friends from college and we go on vacation together.” My knowledge of life as a CEO is drawn almost exclusively from Succession and those “how I do it” diaries where executives talk of moon dust smoothies and 3am workouts, but Weiss says it’s not like that at all.
