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.

The Break Up of Break Ups

I'm Team Skindinavia 🙌🏽

Article 👇🏽

Spoiler

L'Oréal-owned make-up brand Urban Decay has reportedly ended a 15-year formulation partnership with Skindinavia, the maker of its All Nigher Setting Spray.

The news was announced in an Instagram post on 28 July by Skindinavia, which described the move as the end of “the most successful collaboration in make-up”.

Skindinavia stated in the Instagram post: “Since 2010, Skinvidania has proudly made the All Nighter Setting Spray for Urban Decay.

“It was the first and only make-up setting spray to work by cooling the make-up, not just sealing it.

“Our partnership was built on trust, sealed with a handshake and carried on for 15 wonderful years.

“Sadly, Urban Decay and its parent company L'Oréal have chosen to end the partnership with Skindinavia.”

Skindinavia added that Urban Decay All Nigher Setting Spray’s formula has been changed, which now no longer includes the brand’s cooling ingredients, it claims.

The original formula, which was developed in an exclusive partnership with Skindinavia, is protected by US patent 9198840, according to the company.

Skindinavia added in the post: “To promote their new setting spray, Urban Decay has taken to social media to diminish the existing All Nighter setting Spray formula – which Skindinavia will still make.”

Urban Decay began teasing the updated formula on Instagram on 24 July, before fully revealing the new product one day later.

It will be available to purchase via its website on 31 July, as well as Sephora and Ulta Beauty at a later date.

In another post teasing the launch, Urban Decay highlighted comments from some users complaining about the original formula and said: “The best got even better.

“New All Nighter Setting Spray now lasts longer than ever with 24hr wear, finer mist, temperature cooling technology and a refreshed scent.”

Skindinavia added in its Instagram post: “Most brands cannot stand up to big companies.

“But Skindinavia will – and we hope this might inspire others to do the same when being bullied.

“Our award-winning formula is still here for you.

“It will only change when you decide it should, not us.”

Skindinavia creates setting spray and was founded by Allen Goldman in 2005.

Cosmetics Business has contacted Urban Decay and Skindinavia for a comment.
