Okay, folks, gather ’round, because I’ve got a little story for ya. So, I’ve always been curious about who owns what in the beauty world, right? I mean, we see these big names all the time, but who’s pulling the strings behind the scenes? Well, the other day I was wondering, “Does Judge Judy own e.l.f. Cosmetics?” It seemed like an odd pairing, but hey, stranger things have happened.
So, I did what any curious person would do – I started digging. Now, I’m no detective, but I know my way around the internet. First, I went straight to the source and took a peek at some articles about e.l.f. Cosmetics. Nothing about Judge Judy there, huh? Interesting.
Then, I started looking into Judge Judy herself. She’s a powerhouse, no doubt, but a makeup mogul? Hmm, didn’t quite add up. I found articles about her show, “Judy Justice,” and her impressive career, but nothing connecting her to e.l.f.
I even looked into recent news, you know, just in case there was some big announcement I missed. I found some buzz about this Super Bowl ad e.l.f. did where Judge Judy made an appearance, which is pretty cool. The ad’s called “Judge Beauty,” and it put overpriced cosmetics on trial. Judge Judy played Judge Beauty in this ad, presiding over “e.l.f. Court”. Sounds interesting, right? But even in this ad, she was just playing a part, and I still couldn’t find anything about her owning the company.
My Research Process
- Checked e.l.f. Cosmetics’ official info: Nothing about Judge Judy.
- Looked into Judge Judy’s career: No mention of owning a makeup brand.
- Scoured recent news: Found the Super Bowl ad, but still no ownership connection.
But then, I stumbled upon something that cleared things up. Apparently, back in 2014, a company called TPG Growth bought a majority stake in e.l.f. Cosmetics. They even brought in a new president, Tarang P. Amin, to replace the old one, Joey Shamah. This was a big deal at the time, and it pretty much answered my question.
So, there you have it. Judge Judy does not own e.l.f. Cosmetics. She might be the “Judge Beauty” in their ads, but the real owners are elsewhere. It was a fun little investigation, and hey, I learned something new. Who knew, right? Anyway, that’s my story for today. Hope you found it as interesting as I did!
