Move over traditional beauty pop-ups, the “pop-in” is having a moment. Today at CEW, we report on the Conscious Beauty Collective’s latest brick and mortar retail concept, under the leadership of Lynn Power, CEO of clean hair care brand Masami. “Each of CBC’s “pop-ins” carry a selection of between 10 and 12 brands, handpicked based on the given store’s location, objectives, and vibe,” writes CEW reporter Kate Sullivan. “The beauty shop Petal + Hive in Ballston Spa, NY will become its fourth in mid-September, joining Remedies in Brooklyn, the wellness center Palm Springs Vitamin Infusions and ADORAtherapy in Asheville, NC and Miami.” The CBC “pop-ins” also host live-streams and launch events with local media and influencers.

Also at CEW, Andrea Nagel reports on MAC Cosmetics’ appointment of Emily Bromfield Senior Vice President, Global Marketing. Most recently, Bromfield served as Chief Marketing Officer and Managing Director at Dr. Barbara Sturm, after honing her skills at L’Oréal. “In this pivotal role, Bromfield will report directly to Aïda Moudachirou-Rébois, SVP, Global General Manager MAC Cosmetics, overseeing the brand’s global marketing strategies across all categories and channels,” writes Nagel. 

In London, a Celine pop-up launched today at Harrods, showcasing the new Celine Beauté makeup range in addition to the new women’s fall collection. Meanwhile, Rihanna’s Fenty Hair ‘Mane Street’ immersive pop-up has opened at Selfridges’s “Corner Shop”, part of the Oxford Street store’s newly  revamped beauty hall. On this side of the pond, Nordstrom has introduced a beauty and lifestyle line-up designed to appeal to young millennial and Gen Z shoppers.

Making fragrance headlines, Diptyque has unveiled Les Essences de Diptyque, a collection of five scents inspired by elements of the natural world with no discernible scent to humans. “The idea was really to give a fantastic playground to the perfumers, letting their imagination wonder about what would these ingredients would smell like,” said Laurence Semichon, Diptyque’s CEO. Meanwhile, Coty has launched the new Adidas Vibes range, comprised of six, mood-lifting eau de parfums, in three categories: Power Up, Relax and Escape. And in skincare, SK-II took inspiration from the Japanese art of Kintsugi ceramic restoration for the packaging of its new LXP Craftsmanship Series.
