We want to demystify and present things in real talk. That's why Into the Gloss struck a nerve. Glossier is not much different. We're providing this rich environment around products that help consumers understand their benefit.

If you're interested in a 'Teen Vogue' internship, take note: it's not all fun and games! Working at a magazine requires a ton of energy and endurance from its interns and editors alike.

We're not telling you that you need a concealer. We're providing a concealer in case you want it. We're trying to give you the tools to be able to make whatever decision you want.

I approached fundraising as an opportunity to align myself with partners who have more varied experience and diverse backgrounds than I do to help bring Glossier to life.

I always thought 'Into The Gloss' would be successful, but I didn't really know what my definition of success was.

With 'Into The Gloss' and now Glossier, the reason it was successful was because there were so many like-minded women out there who were also dissatisfied with their beauty experiences.

I think reality television has made the fashion industry and the beauty industry, any industry - frankly, just life - it has made life seem much different than it really is.

I eat out alone a lot.

We incorporate a lot of natural ingredients into our Glossier products, like sweet almond oil, which is great at getting moisture deep into the skin.

I grew up in a conservative New England town and showed up to my middle school orientation dressed like 'Clueless' while everyone else was wearing J. Crew and lacrosse uniforms. I never really fit into that preppy look.

I like to get rid of things; I don't collect many things. But I do keep great photography and art books.

I feel like I have time to think when I'm in L.A. There's something about the spaciousness of it.

Glossier is not about throwing out everything you're using. If you want to keep using your retinols, your SPFs, of course you should continue.

When your lips get dry, is there anything more frantic?

Everyone says to hydrate on the plane, but I don't.

If you look dull, the easiest thing to do is wash your face with water, and immediately you look refreshed.

It's very important to me to have a female venture capitalist.

I'm on Instagram more than any other social platform.

You don't need most beauty products. They're an emotional purchase. That's why the conversations are really important. What choice do you have but to ask your customer what they want?

Making a bougie, expensive beauty brand wasn't helping the mission or very fun for me. We can all be united by that $12 coconut balm. You don't need to charge an arm and a leg.

We could be like a lot of consumer brands that start blogs after they start their business. But in our case, I think Glossier is still very much a content company. I think about our products themselves as pieces of content.

Ultimately, we're making and selling a consumer good that needs to work and that needs to make customers happy.

In our product development cycle, we ask and listen to our customer about what she wants.

Beauty is very intimate.

One of the big things I've learned over the years and I'm excited that Glossier perpetuates is that wherever you're at, in terms of your scope of knowledge around beauty, is totally okay. And not just okay, but actually really valuable.

I've had such an inspiring and formative journey in my career.

I just have to stop biting my nails. I've been on and off that bandwagon so many times. I feel like it's going to be a lifelong struggle.

You learn a lot about people when you're sitting on their bathroom floor or on their toilet seat, rifling through their stuff.

I love supporting female-owned companies and women who are awesome.

There's so much pressure on women to have it all together. There's always this 'next, next, next.' I hope Glossier encourages women to be O.K. wherever you are. Just, everyone, relax!

I'm surrounded by women whose style I admire. It's natural to be inspired. I'm not a horrible copycat, or if I am, then I admit it and make a joke about it.

I truly believe being a midwife is the greatest job for a feminist. It's women helping women, believing in them at a time when they're thinking, 'Am I ever going to get through this?'

To combat jet lag, when you get to your destination go straight to a park, take your shoes off and walk barefoot. It's something to do with having your feet in contact with the earth - it's supposed to be grounding.

For me, Venus are the experts in keeping my legs smooth, and offer a wide range of razors to ensure I have the right tool for the right time for the best results.

Be proud to be unique!

I was 18 years old and a size 10 when I started modelling, but I was told to lose weight right away.

What I have done is always try to be nice to work with. I make the best impression, try to do a good job... and if people hire me again, it's for the right reasons.

In 2005, not long after I met Matt, MTV decided not to renew my contract. It meant that I didn't have a job or any money. We lived together and he supported me because I had nothing.

I've never been one to jump into fitness straight after having a baby. I always say if you grow it for nine months it should take that time at least to go back to normal.

It's never easy. You think you're ready but nothing prepares you. You're knocked for six. No matter how much you want a baby, having one's totally different.

I think there are moments when everyone feels a bit low or goes through tough times.

What I've learnt is that being a midwife is not a job about cute babies. And as a maternity care assistant there's a lot of cleaning involved. It's a vocation.

I met Matt when he was in Busted. I was working at MTV and I'd see him wearing baggy jeans, waddling around like a duck so they didn't fall down. He used to wear makeup and have weird hairstyles. But I remember thinking underneath all that was a really cute guy.

The biggest change I notice in the winter months is with my skin. I find all the cold weather and central heating leaves it feeling more dull, dry and easily irritated. So for me, finding little ways to make my skincare routine work harder is my winter beauty priority.

Preparation is key - and that's everything from packed lunches the night before to self-tan and eyebrow dye. So once a week I try to put on a layer of gradual self-tan. I also tint my eyebrows once a week with a kit. That makes a huge difference as I have quite sparse eyebrows and it makes me seem more groomed and defined.

I was a huge fan of 'Treasure Hunt' and 'Challenge Anneka.'

I'm not a big fan of antiques shows or 'Cash In The Attic.' I don't care about the rubbish in your loft! I don't find it stimulating in any way.

If money were no object I'd bring back 'Treasure Hunt!' With a helicopter and me. I think it could be updated - you could do something for a community that needs some help.

Perfection doesn't exist.

I was always a shy kid.
