Written by The Charm Team | Jul 9, 2026 8:02:35 PM

Milani Cosmetics is using TikTok Shop as a product launch and conversion channel while continuing to grow through retail, Amazon, and wholesale. Here's what you need to know:

  • Milani’s Highly Rated Lash Extensions XL Volumizing Tubing Mascara beat its TikTok Shop sales goal by more than 250% in its first two weeks.

  • The mascara launch generated 1.5 million TikTok impressions and marked Milani’s first TikTok Shop product launch before wider retail distribution.

  • Milani has reached more than $250 million in brand sales and has achieved 18 consecutive quarters of growth, according to CMO Jeremy Lowenstein.

  • Milani sells through CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Target, Ulta, and Amazon, with Amazon ranking as one of its top five retailers but still far below half of total sales.

  • Milani uses TikTok Shop for affiliate-led content, discounting, and conversion, while its DTC site supports exclusives, pre-launches, loyalty, bundles, higher AOV, and future Shopify integrations with LLMs such as ChatGPT.
