A Beauty Founder Doing The Opposite Of Every Other Beauty Brand with Priscilla Tsai
The beauty industry spent $32 billion on influencer marketing in 2025 and 80% of brands increased their influencer spend last year. Priscilla Tsai, the founder of Coco Kind, went the other direction. In this week's Mirror Mirror, I sit down with Priscilla Tsai— who's been building Coco Kind for 11 years — to talk about the unconventional moves that have actually worked. We get into why she stopped spending on traditional influencer campaigns, why she replaced influencer trips with customer brand trips (eight superfans, not eight creators), what "ultra-transparency" looks like when you publicly break down what every product actually costs to make, and why she'd rather have a thousand obsessed customers than a million who sort of like the brand.→ Have a beauty question you want me to tackle on the next Inbox?

Beauty Marketing After The Hype: What Actually Builds Trust
This week on Mirror Mirror, I'm joined by Camille Moore — brand strategist, founder of Third Eye Insights, and consultant to some of the largest beauty brands in the world — for the unfiltered breakdown of how beauty marketing actually works in 2026, who's winning, who's quietly dying, and how consumers can decode the difference.Pat McGrath Labs is reportedly up for sale to avoid bankruptcy. Rhode's mass-distribution deal may already be eroding its brand premium. Lululemon is committing what brand strategist Camille Moore calls "death by a thousand cuts." Augustinus Bader's Dua Lipa diffusion line was, in her view, a strategic mistake. And Summer Fridays stamping "Made in Korea" on the front of its packaging? That's where this conversation gets honest. → Have a beauty question you want me to tackle on the next Inbox?
