What We Do
Beautylish exists to find exceptional products, tell the inspiring stories behind them, and deliver them with thoughtfulness. We believe an amazing customer experience is driven by a personal relationship with our customers. -- Beautylish was founded in 2010 with a simple mission: to create a community where beauty lovers could share their collective beauty wisdom. People loved it, and our community grew to hundreds of thousands in a few short months. Beautylish rapidly became a valuable resource for the discovery of beauty products, but the experience was incomplete because we weren't able to assist our members in purchasing the amazing products they loved. This led us to launch our own ecommerce presence in 2012. In the 10 years since, we've grown to partner with over 100 brands and ship to customers in over 50 countries around the world while continuing to launch service innovations. We're still in the early part of our journey. There are so many more stories to tell and relationships to build. We hope that you join us as our story unfolds!
