Here's your weekly recap—the most viewed news stories on our site for the week ended March 4, 2023.
 
Last week, global beauty company Revlon moved one step closer to emerging from bankruptcy by reaching a deal with a holdout faction of lenders. With the latest settlement in place, Revlon now has the support of all of its major creditor groups, thereby removing the largest remaining roadblock to a plan that would allow the cosmetics maker to exit from bankruptcy by April.
 
In other news, Maybelline New York expanded its mascara portfolio with Falsies Surreal Extensions Mascara and unveiled its first-ever avatar: May. May is featured alongside Maybelline global ambassador Gigi Hadid in the upcoming campaign that merges the real and the virtual worlds.
 
Also, diverse and community-driven beauty brand Live Tinted closed a Series A Fundraising round of $10 million led by Monogram Capital Partners, bringing the brand’s lifetime funding to $15 million to-date.
