Lively's business activity is founding and owning her own consumer brands rather than investing in other companies' startups — the non-alcoholic mixer line Betty Buzz, launched in 2021 and reported in 2025 to have quietly wound down, its canned-cocktail sibling Betty Booze, and the haircare brand Blake Brown..
- When
- Launched August 4, 2024 as a joint venture with Give Back Beauty, the group that also incubated Millie Bobby Brown's Florence by Mills. Seven years in development.
- Why
- She wanted salon-quality formulas at a mass price point and deliberately used her birth name rather than Lively so the brand could stand on its own. There is no conditioner in the range because she has not used one in 20 years.
- Status
- Target's biggest hair-care launch on record: close to $5M in sales in the first three and a half weeks and $16M in earned media value in week one. Weekly sales then fell more than 87% between August 11 and September 15, 2024 amid the Justin Baldoni dispute; her legal filing put the decline at 56–78%. Still operating — new hair and body mists launched at Target in May 2025 under CEO Laura Tedesco.
