Girls just want that bitch Gwyneth’s life
“A lot of the women were saying, ‘We don’t even care what the candle smells like, we just want that Goop product,’” Gwyneth Paltrow told Business of Fashion recently. Created in collaboration with Murchison-Hume, the candle is just one of the products that Goop sold at a pop-up shop in Dallas, along with clothing and accessories designed “exclusively” for Goop by Stella McCartney, Jennifer Fisher, and Monique Lhullier. Last February, it was announced that Goop bought a stake in organic beauty company Juice Beauty with plans to produce skincare and makeup products under the Goop label. And if Gwyneth’s followers are any indication, we’re pretty sure it’s going to be a hit. [Business of Fashion]
Mindy Kaling and J. Lo make the cut
Shortly after making the announcement that she would be writing about her “weird as hell” relationship with actor B.J. Novak, Mindy Kaling debuted a chic bob on her Instagram page. “Short hair don’t care. Just a girl in her housedress drinking mini bar vodka, getting ready to go to her book publisher’s party. Thanks @cnaselli for the dreamy cut. #thatbridgetjoneslife,” she wrote. Jennifer Lopez also stepped out with newly shorn locks. She, too was heading into to a party, only she wasn’t aware of it—some weird clown waited for her at the airport and threw confetti all over her. That counts as a party, right? [US Magazine]
Finally, someone breaks the ‘skinny yogi’ stereotype
In a profile published in The Cut, 27-year-old yogi Jessamyn Stanley laments, “I can see it in their eyes, they’re thinking, Oh fuck, this woman’s not gonna know…,” referring to the “white” women who attend her free yoga classes. But what makes Jessamyn such a breath of fresh air is she refuses to be swayed by the judgment of other people. While there are studios in New York that have sprung up specifically for large-bodied women to practice, Jessamyn doesn’t necessarily agree with the segregation. “I have mixed feelings about studios where you have to be a larger-bodied person to even go there because it adds to the community of people thinking that you’re either one way or the other, as opposed to thinking that we’re all the same way.” [The Cut]
Michelle Phan continues to expand her beauty empire
It may not be Goop-levels yet, but she’s sure getting there. Beauty vlogger Michelle Phan has just opened Ipsy Open Studios, which “will serve as an incubator and work space for creatives in the beauty world. They’ll have access to production and editing equipment along with a studio. They’ll also be able to connect with Phan herself, who will serve as a mentor.” Ipsy is an online beauty subscription service that Michelle founded where members pay $10 monthly to receive a curated set of products. The company currently has over 1 million subscribers in the US and Canada and reports over $150 million in revenue. [WWD]
What are the top-selling lipsticks around the “world”?
Three things to take away from this infographic: First, apparently Asia isn’t part of the “world.” Second, whoever made this can’t tell the difference between Too Faced Melted Liquefied Long Wear Lipstick in Fuchsia (the pink tube with a gold cap) and Sephora Collection Color Lip Last in Royal Raspberry (the black tube). Third, whatever, none of these lipsticks are available in the Philippines anyway. [WWD]
