Here’s your weekly recap—the most viewed news stories on our site for the week ending on October 3, 2025.

Drew Barrymore’s co-founded mass-market brand with Maesa, Flower Beauty, has closed after 13 years. This is because Maesa is pivoting away from makeup, focusing on other markets such as skincare, body care, fragrance, and haircare.

Accenture’s 2025 Holiday Shopping report shows ‘Shopper Stress’ as a top factor in frustration and abandoned carts this holiday season. Accenture also draws attention to Noli, a beauty marketplace startup on a mission to solve shopping stress.

In anticipation of the concluding sequel, Wicked: For Good, Olay and Secret launched limited-edition body washes and deodorants. The two scent profiles match Glinda’s and Elphaba’s personalities, with packaging to match.
