On stage at Friday’s CEW Beauty Insider Awards luncheon, held at the Waldorf Astoria here in New York, Glamglow founder Shannon Dellimore brought her 7-year-old daughter with her to accept her award for best prestige antiaging skin-care product, the Glamglow Flashmud Brightening Treatment.

“She’s been with us since Glamglow was just an idea,” said Dellimore, who conceived of the company with husband Glenn while pregnant with her daughter. “I hope this is an inspiration to her.”

The juxtaposition of mother and daughter accepting an honor onstage at the 1,200-attendee luncheon was an apt symbol for how the rest of the ceremony panned out, with smaller labels clinching trophies alongside the established behemoths.

“There was a balance of the some of the classics and the [brands] who are really trending,” said CEW president Carlotta Jacobson, who noted that large parent companies like Estée Lauder are now reaping the benefits of some of their recent Indie label acquisitions. “Clinique won a lot of awards, but Glamglow has won the last two years — they also get recognized. It’s not that [just] the big [brands] get the big bounty. That’s a big change.”

Another change this year was the introduction of the Best Beauty App Award, the winner of which was L’Oréal Paris for its Makeup Genius App.

Tiffany & Co. and LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton are getting married after all. The recently warring firms jointly announced that they have "concluded an agreement modifying certain terms of their initial agreement" and a new purchase price of $131.50 in cash per share versus an original offer of $135. Tiffany and LVMH have also agreed to settle their pending litigation in the Delaware Chancery Court. “We are very pleased to have reached an agreement with LVMH at an attractive price and to now be able to proceed with the merger," Roger Farah, chairman of the board of directors of Tiffany, said in a statement. "The board concluded it was in the best interests of all of our stakeholders to achieve certainty of closing." Bernard Arnault, president and chief executive officer of LVMH and one of the industry's most formidable dealmakers, commented: “This balanced agreement with Tiffany’s Board allows LVMH to work on the Tiffany acquisition with confidence and resume discussions with Tiffany’s management on the integration details. We are as convinced as ever of the formidable potential of the Tiffany brand and believe that LVMH is the right home for Tiffany and its employees during this exciting next chapter.” Tap the link in bio for more.
