Hi - thanks for writing! It sounds like you have some strong work experience that's highly transferrable to your goals. While INSEAD is likely a reach school, it's not out of range for you, and I think that the other schools are within your target range. In your essays, be sure to talk about your passion for the beauty industry and product development since those are points of continuity in your career.
Hope that helps!

Thank you for your reply.
Could you please elaborate reg Insead. Are my chances so low due to low GMAT? Would it help a lot if I retake? My usual quant score during the preparation was 47-49.
