Some Estee Lauder Cosmetics May Get Real Cheap Soon
What: Estee Lauder will be shuttering its Prescriptives beauty line by the time 2010 rolls around. The reason - clearly - is the recession, as Estee Lauder (wisely) has decided to reallocate funds to other more profitable lines. They’ll continue selling Prescriptives products until everything’s all gone, but the favored Calyx fragrance will still be sold at retailers for the foreseeable future. No one’s officially said it yet…but we’re guessing prices may go down because of all of this.
What Estee Lauder Says:
You may have recently heard that Prescriptives has made the difficult decision to close its retail counters globally, effective January 31, 2010. You can continue to purchase your favorite Prescriptives products here at www.prescriptives.com for US shipping while inventory lasts.
What We Say: If you’re a fan of Prescriptives, make sure to stock up on your favorite items before they’re gone. If you already buy Prescrives cosmetics, you may like this deal, which entitles you to five free products if you spend $32.50 or more. Although $32.50 is rather specific…guess they’re making you buy that extra lip stick just to make the grade.
Estee Lauder Products Shrink in Size and Price
What: Remember back when L’Oreal promised to lower prices? Well, Estee Lauder has caught on to the trend, too, which makes us feel a little giddy inside. Not only will the beauty retailer offer up more affordable products (something they’ve resisted doing at every turn up until now), but some of its more luxurious ones, like the fragrance Clinique Happy, will be available in smaller, cheaper quantities.
What Estee Lauder CEO William Lauder Says:
The consumer has some money to spend; she just doesn’t have as much, so she’d rather spend a little bit now.
What We Say: So, those of us who can’t splurge on a 100ml bottle of perfume can now afford a 30ml tease. Sounds good to us. If you gave up high-end makeup and perfumes because of price, is something like this enough to get you to rethink brands like Estee Lauder? Or are you now converted into shopping only at the drug store and supermarket for items like these.
Fashion for a Cause: Breast Cancer Awareness Month
What: If you’re shopping anyway in October, pick products that support Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
What We Say: Most of us have been touched by breast cancer in one way or another, and since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we’re all about finding a way to support the cause—and so is the fashion/beauty world, it seems. Want to do your part? We’ve gone ahead and rounded up some Breast Cancer Awareness Month products that will contribute to the cause. Know of some other worthy products that donate to the cause?
