cheryl-cole-eylure.jpg

Some people like Justin Timberlake and Emma Watson simply hate the idea of offering their perfume incarnations to the public, but singer Cheryl Cole of Girls Aloud begs to differ.

Highlights from the Hard Candy Collection for Walmart To Launch Next Week {Beauty Notes - News}


hard-candy-polishes.jpgAs announced previously, Hard Candy which was established originally in 1995 by sisters Dineh and Pooneh Mohajer is making a comeback to Walmart in a spruced up packaging for some of its items like the lipsticks while the nail polishes will retain their iconic appearance complete with plastic toy rings. The line-up includes 261 items at an average price of $7. A veritable treasure trove for cheap thrills seekers.

The idea behind this operation is to democratize prestige makeup by bringing it to the mass-market shelves of Walmart. Walmart will gain in coolness and Hard Candy will look suddenly extra familiar and empathic to a bigger segment of the market. Walmart has a far-from-the-madding-crowd quality about it due to its retail locations in rural areas that in a way can be turned into a relative notion of exclusivity. It will also be a great, easy way for teens to enter the fashion-makeup culture and develop a taste for it. More mature women, those who read More, will be able to tap into the urban girly culture for grownups.

Here are some highlights from the upcoming collection to be introduced next week....

Adieu Prescriptives, but Calyx Stays -- Update {Beauty News} {Fragrance News}


prescriptives-ad-2005.jpg
In an effort to restructure the Estée Lauder companies in an efficient manner, their beloved brand Prescriptives developed in 1977 and founded in 1979 by Estée's second son, Ronald Lauder, will cease being in existence.

Its first, ex-director, Sylvie Chantecaille said,

"It was a great introduction for young women. It changed the face of makeup. Everyone learned from Prescriptives about warm and cool."

One of the early factors explaining Prescriptives's demise are seen in retrospect to have been the rise of the makeup-artist brands in the mid-nineties with Bobbi Brown and M.A.C which made it appear less edgy...

Hard Candy Now at Wal-Mart {Beauty News}: The More Bells & Whistles, The Merrier


hard-candy-walmart.jpg
Hard Candy has debuted in a new mass-retail channel by appearing legitimately on the shelves of Wal-Mart. The brand specifically created a rich range of 261 products for the retail giant. According to Reuters, for Wal-Mart this is a move linked to the context of the recession which has pushed more higher-income shoppers to visit its premises so as to respond to sober times, even if only psychologically. Reuters also underlines the fact that this evolution was not fully appreciated by lower-income shoppers who are the real Wal-Mart regulars...
