We’ve talked about IPOs , unicorns (companies valued at $1 billion or more) and last month we talked about decacorns . This week we are over the moon to talk about the latest unicorn, makeup company, Glossier . Girl boss and founder Emily Weiss has secured $100 million of Series D funding by Sequoia Capital. This values the company at $1.2 billion. This has us feeling all hot and glossy...literally.

In 2010, Glossier was launched as a beauty blog and, currently, there is no immediate plan for the company to go public, but Emily told the Wall Street Journal that an IPO is not out of the question. Glossier has made some upgrades with their management team and has launched the company’s first spin off brand, Glossier Play , utilizing more color and glitter no doubt aimed at Instagram glam disciples.

We will be playing Glossier close, and will keep you informed on major moves including any more talk of a possible future IPO .

Have a great weekend Savvies!
