Cheers Pod 12: Aliett Buttelman (Fazit)
In Episode 12, we chat with Aliett Buttelman (Co-Founder of Fazit). Fazit is a beauty brand known for its glitter freckles, which are faux-freckle patches that apply like temporary tattoos. The brand went viral in October 2024 when Taylor Swift wore their glitter freckles to a Kansas City Chiefs game, leading to a 2,500% increase in sales and massive demand. Since then, Fazit has expanded into 1,000 Target stores and 400 CVS locations, projecting $40 million in retail sales.
