Blame it on the millennial pink marketing or the sweeping success of products like Balm Dot Com — few beauty brands catapulted to near-household name like Glossier within the mid-2010s. Marisa Meltzer’s “Glossy: Ambition, Beauty, and the Inside Story of Emily Weiss’s Glossier” peels back the pastel curtain to uncover the minimalistic beauty brand’s meteoric success. And now, the Latest York Times bestseller is slated for an upcoming series, as Amazon MGM Studios has reportedly acquired the rights to the book.

Director and screenwriter Lindsey Anderson Beer, who’s notable projects include writing and directing “Pet Sematary: Bloodline” and an upcoming reboot of Tim Burton’s “Sleepy Hole,” is ready to supply the series under her LAB Brew production company. The series is in early stages of development, with no release date announced yet.

Meltzer’s book, published by Simon & Schuster, hit shelves on September thirteenth with much fanfare. The creator conducted in-depth interviews with Weiss, in addition to former Glossier employees and investors, to detail the inner workings of the brand. “Glossy” is the primary deep dive into the short rise of Glossier, covering the brand’s humble start spurred by Weiss’ blog, Into the Gloss, all of the solution to the startup securing a billion-dollar valuation in 2019 (and Weiss stepping down shortly thereafter, in 2022). This primary behind-the-scenes look into Glossier is as much in regards to the power of an awesome lip balm or brow gel because it is about ambition.

While we wait for more details on Amazon’s TV adaptation of this tell-all book, pick up “Glossy” below.
