Oh Polly is tackling the returns challenge with a premium returns fee to discourage excessive returns and ease the financial burden.

Refy really just did THIS?! I confess, I’m a sucker for beauty products that go beyond the ordinary. But blending a pop-up café with Paris Fashion Week? That’s next level. In true Refy fashion, they didn’t just stop at launching their "Blur Liner." Nope. They went ahead and combined coffee, pastries, and makeup magic all in an Instagrammable setting, complete with a meet-and-greet with founder Jess Hunt! The kicker? Refy wasn’t just promoting a product, they were building an experience. It’s about creating a moment where beauty meets community, and they nailed it. The café? A perfect blend of aesthetic, connection, and brand storytelling. Honestly, I’m kind of obsessed. And I have to ask who’s ready for the next Refy pop-up?
