Whoa @danielledanielle , finally!

danielledanielle · ‎10-30-2025

Right?!? @Sunnysmom , the comments are interesting. Lots of mixed feelings there....

Sunnysmom · ‎11-01-2025

Guess so @danielledanielle ! I’m still loyal to a few lip colors that I love so hopefully they’ll be available . Haven’t used much else but they were some of my first favorite reds way back in the day.

Wow, I haven’t used makeupalley in a long time. I probably posted there even before Sephora had a community page. At the time I was looking specifically into curly hair care, back when there were far fewer products. I remember it being fun and active but it looks like it must have gotten used less. 26 years is a long time for a platform, I guess. @greeneyedgirl107

greeneyedgirl107 · ‎09-23-2025

@curlychiquita same!

Titian06 · ‎09-18-2025

This is disappointing, @greeneyedgirl107 ! Thanks for sharing.

greeneyedgirl107 · ‎09-19-2025

@Titian06 glad someone else feels the same way! I know times have changed, but I think getting rid of the swap system really did them in.

@greeneyedgirl107 That would be fun!

Sad news from Ahead of the Kirb (I’ve also seen it reported a few other places within the last 18 hours, including People magazine):

Earlier this summer, I started getting text messages again from UOMA. I hoped Sharon would regain control, or at least be brought on as creative director. My heart goes out to her loved ones. This loss really hurts.

Cissy63 · ‎10-03-2025

@WinglessOne When Jen Luv talked about Sharon’s passing it was a shock. Her family and friends must have been devastated. Such an awful ending for a woman who put her heart and soul into that brand 🥀🥀

curlychiquita · ‎08-25-2025

Wow, I’m so sorry to hear this, @WinglessOne, 😞

danielledanielle · ‎08-25-2025

@WinglessOne , thanks for posting.

I'm shocked. It's sad, and horrifying. Without knowing the cause, it just feels like Sharon put her whole self into Uoma and just was burned out -- inside and out. Terribly sad.

DE MINIMIS EXCEPTION IS ENDING SOON

Just wanted to remind everyone that if you're used to buying indie makeup or skincare from international retailers, the De Minimis exception is ending on August 28th. It had already expired for China and Hong Kong but now Canadian, European, Australian, Korean, Japanese, etc, retailers will also be affected. I've seen posts from Cosmic Brushes saying they probably won't be shipping to the US for a while. Olive Young is adding 15% to your purchase.

Maybe they'll get pushed back again but just something to remember.

Ulta, Target to end beauty mini-shop partnership in 2026

(Reuters) -Ulta will wrap up its mini-store partnership in Target stores after the current contract ends in August 2026, the companies said on Thursday.

The partnership, announced in November 2020 and rolled out in August 2021, aimed at giving Target shoppers greater access to prestige beauty brands.

Shares of Target fell 2%, while Ulta was down around 1%. They did not elaborate on why the partnership was ending.

Target has been facing softening demand as customers pulled back on discretionary purchases due to ongoing worries about inflation and the economy, due to U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war.

However, beauty segment sales rose 5% in 2024, standing out as a bright spot, compared to a 0.9% decline in overall merchandise sales for the year.

The companies said the Ulta Beauty at Target experience will continue in Target stores and on Target.com until the partnership ceases.

Dior unveils first permanent US spa at renovated Madison Avenue flagship

Dior has debuted its first permanent US spa located on the top floor of its newly renovated Madison Avenue flagship in New York City, according to Haute Living. This launch marks Dior's entry into the North American wellness sector, building on the success of its existing spas worldwide. The new spa integrates cutting-edge technology and Parisian luxury, reinforcing Dior's "Haute Wellness Science" approach.

Key features and offerings
Fully customized treatments: Employing advanced modalities such as LED therapy, cryotherapy, and microcurrent, treatments are tailored based on individual skin analyses using Dior's skin diagnostic tool, notes The Impression.
Exclusive Haute Couture Facial: This 90-minute facial, co-created with American esthetician Sarah Akram, is exclusive to the New York location. It combines multiple technologies to address individual skin needs.
Body treatments: Including the redesigned New Look lymphatic protocol, featuring Icoone technology for targeted skin sculpting.
Dior Light Suite: This dedicated light therapy room offers four protocols—Recharge, Recover, Rest, and the New York-exclusive Happiness. The Happiness ritual, developed with sleep specialist Dr. François Duforez, aims to enhance mood and promote sleep through chromotherapy and sensory stimulation, referencing New York's "city that never sleeps" reputation.
Luxury amenities: The spa provides infrared and re-energizing mattresses, weighted anti-stress blankets, cryo-effect sleep masks, and a custom ambient fragrance created by Dior's Perfume Creation Director, Francis Kurkdjian.
Dior boutique and beauty room: The space features a dedicated beauty room offering bespoke makeup looks inspired by Peter Philips, Creative and Image Director for Dior Makeup, and a boutique showcasing Dior fragrances, skincare, and exclusive products like La Collection Privée and Rouge Premier.

A new era for Dior
The Dior Spa New York is more than a spa; it represents a significant step in Dior's evolution into a comprehensive lifestyle brand, merging luxury fashion with wellness and beauty. This aligns with a broader trend in the luxury sector where high-end brands are expanding into services that offer immersive experiences and cater to the holistic well-being of their top clientele. The spa's design, attributed to architect Peter Marino, is described as having the feel of a Parisian apartment, integrated into the overall House of Dior New York, epitomizing the brand's universe. It emphasizes creating an intimate environment for client engagement, reflecting a strategic move in the luxury market.
