Re: BEAUTY NEWS 2.0

@makeitup305  That Chanel calendar is a disgrace. 

So the Tatcha illuminator is really good?  I never tried it.

Re: BEAUTY NEWS 2.0

@Ispend2much6 Idk why Chanel did it. To me, it would have made more sense to make the Advent calendar twice as expensive and actually include some full size products and mostly deluxe sizes, with maybe a limited edition shade or special packaging? That seems more Chanel to me than whatever this was. People would have still bought it. 

I’ve used the Tatcha for years. It’s an eye cream with a color correcting tint, which was great because it leaned more peach than pink and neutralized my dark circles really well while being hydrating. It’s too bad it’s getting discontinued it was an underrated product imo but if the ingredients are too hard to source I can understand that.

Re: BEAUTY NEWS 2.0

Noonoooo, @makeitup305!! The Pearl was a fave!! I can appreciate a resource sourcing issue, but I'm sad. 😓

Re: BEAUTY NEWS 2.0

@haleyvvvv it’s one of the few products that I felt concealed and cancelled out my dark circles in a natural way. Glad I got a backup but I’ll miss it.

Re: BEAUTY NEWS 2.0

I wonder after the buy how well 'Farm to Face' will go with the branding of such a large company?

Re: BEAUTY NEWS 2.0

I’m so sad to learn that Nordstrom no longer carries Voluspa in store anymore. The only Nordstroms that do carry it are the ones with a home department. 

Re: BEAUTY NEWS 2.0

@itscarin Birchbox was bought by a FemTec Health, who specializes in using technology and data for a "total health experience.  and will request customers to share their health data for personalization.  Article is at My Subscription Addiction for better viewing. @itScreenshot 2021-10-31 at 12-19-08 Birchbox Has Been Acquired by Health Company FemTec.png

Re: BEAUTY NEWS 2.0

@Ispend2much6 @This sounds so stupid. I’m saddened to hear of birchbox’s demise but just annoyed at how stupid their “pivot” is. Tell me how my health will impact my beauty choices?  Like yes someone who is in menopause will need more moisturizer than someone who is not but other than sweeping generalizations you can make based on someone’s reproductive life stage I’m not sure how my physical health is going to impact what kind of mascara I like.

Re: BEAUTY NEWS 2.0

@Nahnom  I agree!  Every time I get a covid test or blood drawn I wonder if any of my genome is being shared, and with whom. 

Re: BEAUTY NEWS 2.0

Re: BEAUTY NEWS 2.0

@Nahnom   Makes sense.  You can only do so much; good to know what you can control and what you can't.

Re: BEAUTY NEWS 2.0

@itscarin  Excellent points.  I guess we'll be feeling bittersweet feelings as we use up our bargain-priced Oribe from Birchbox.  I don't like all this emphasis on data and metrics either; I'm a person, not a formula, and I'm complicated. 😂

Re: BEAUTY NEWS 2.0

Re: BEAUTY NEWS 2.0

@Nahnom Thanks for the udate for Canadians!!

Re: BEAUTY NEWS 2.0

Is Bite Beauty owned by the same company as KVD?  I have been trying to order one of the holiday sets for over a week, but the sale price doesn't display, only the retail price for each product in the set.

I sent an email last night, to customerservice @   bitebeauty dot com, and this is the reply I was sent:

Re: BEAUTY NEWS 2.0

@Ispend2much6 That's so strange . They are both subsidiaries of Kendo/LVMH  though, which is also Sephora's parent company. They also are the parent companies (with partial or full ownership) of Fenty, Fresh, Givenchy and Benefit along with a host of other brands 

 

Re: BEAUTY NEWS 2.0

@Kim888   I thought Sephora and Bite were somehow related too.  I know I didn't type anything incorrectly or go to a spoof site; maybe they're consolidating some services to save money.  Thanks for letting me know I wasn't crazy (at least about this.)   🙂

Re: BEAUTY NEWS 2.0

@Ispend2much6 once that happened to me with the pottery barn/william Sonoma brands. I didn't realize they were related but I called about an issue and had a random conversation with the wrong brand haha 

Re: BEAUTY NEWS 2.0

Olaplex is going public and I had no idea its valuation was so mega 😮

 

On Sept they were going with an IPO of $14-16

 

SANTA BARBARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE )--Olaplex Holdings, Inc. (“OLAPLEX”) announced the launch of its initial public offering of 67,000,000 shares of its common stock. All 67,000,000 shares of common stock are being offered by certain of OLAPLEX’s existing stockholders (the “Selling Stockholders”). OLAPLEX will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares by the Selling Stockholders. The underwriters will have a 30-day option to purchase up to 10,050,000 shares of common stock from the Selling Stockholders at the initial public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The initial public offering price is currently expected to be between $14.00 and $16.00 per share. OLAPLEX has applied to list its common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “OLPX.” The offering is subject to market conditions, and there can be no assurance as to whether, or when, the offering may be completed or as to the actual size or terms of the offering. 

 

Now they're raising the price

 

Olaplex raised the price range for its initial public offering, which is planned for later this week.

 

Olaplex said Tuesday it would sell 67 million shares at $17 to $19 , up from the $14 to $16 price range it had previously set. Olaplex will trade under the Nasdaq ticker OLPX. At $19, Olaplex’s valuation could reach $12.3 billion.

 

Olaplex is one of seven companies expected to list their shares this week. This includes Amplitude  , the data analytics company that begin trading Tuesday  under ts ticker AMPL. On Monday, Amplitude received a $35 reference price from the Nasdaq. It opened at $50, 43% above that reference price.

 

Founded in 2014, Olaplex is a beauty company known for creating the bond-building category. Olaplex bond builders claim to repair hair that has been destroyed by chemicals, environment, or even age.

 

Advent International, a private equity firm, acquired Olaplex in January 2020; it will own 78.2% of the company after the IPO, a prospectus said. Olaplex is scheduled to kick off its life as a public company on Thursday, Barron’s reported. 

 

Healthcare Triangle also increased the size of its deal to about 9.2 million shares . The Pleasanton, California, company had initially filed to sell 8 million shares at $4.50 to $5.50 each.

 

Of the 9.18 million shares, 8 million are coming from Healthcare Triangle, while shareholders are offering the rest, a prospectus said. It will trade under the Nasdaq ticker HCTI.

 

Healthcare Triangle provides software and services for hospitals and health systems, payers, life sciences, and biotech organizations, a prospectus said. The healthcare information technology company will make its debut on Friday.
