The impact of BITE extended far beyond the exhibition floor. Following the show, major retailers—including Target, Sephora Canada, CVS, and Space NK—shared their personal brand favorites, highlighting which emerging voices they believe will resonate most strongly with their customer bases. This post provided valuable insights into the future landscape of retail beauty.
