Diving deeper into Wander Beauty with Divya Gugnani… About a year ago, we heard from Divya Gugnani—one of the co-founders of Wander Beauty, the first travel-inspired, luxury color cosmetics experience, with deluxe products made of high performance and cruelty free formulas. The conversation focused on Wander Beauty’s fewer, better, multitasking beauty essentials to keep consumers beautiful on the go. Recently, MouthMedia Network CEO Rob Sanchez (who actually was one of the original hosts of Beauty Is Your Business), caught up with Divya in Palms Springs CA at eTail West to have a conversation focused about innovation, solving pain points, and psychology in growing a beauty brand, along with the relationship between content creation and brand — plus how the business accomplished product testing with Wander Beauties.
