@Nahnom, I read that there's been an increase in bankruptcy filings in the retail market, and the beauty space this year. The downtown area where I live is seeing many store closings and businesses leaving, at an alarming rate really, and with it, many are left jobless, as you noted. It's sad to see and yes, I, too, feel bad for those who will be without jobs.
Per trendmood
marcjacobs inked a licensing deal with Coty, which he previously only worked with on the fragrance portfolio.
Coty has just begun work on a Marc Jacobs prestige beauty line, which will be ready in around roughly two to three years.
ComingSoon
@SportyGirly125 interesting. Do you think 2-3 years is a lot of time or a little amount of time? I'm curious because I can see both sides. I really have no idea.
@greeneyedgirl107 @Not sure. It seems like the right time frame.
Did we post this before? Prada Beauty coming to Selfridges August 1. Excited to see it. Not sure when it’ll hit US or Canada . If anyone knows please post!
L'Occitane is considering taking the company private. From Bloomberg
(Bloomberg) -- L’Occitane International SA’s controlling shareholder is considering a move to take the skin-care company private, people with knowledge of the matter said.
Billionaire Chairman Reinold Geiger is studying the possibility of buying out minority shareholders of the Hong Kong-listed group, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information is private. He’s been exploring various financing options for the potential deal, according to the people.
L’Occitane, which is based in Luxembourg and Geneva, and its backers raised $787 million in the company’s 2010 initial public offering, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. It listed in Hong Kong at a time when a number of Western consumer companies were seeking to boost exposure to the fast-growing consumer market in China.
Over the past five years, an average of $1.7 million in L’Occitane stock has changed hands daily, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Geiger may consider relisting L’Occitane in Paris or another European market at a later date, some of the people said.
Deliberations are ongoing, and there’s no certainty he will decide to proceed with a transaction, they said. Representatives for L’Occitane didn’t respond to multiple requests for comment. Geiger didn’t immediately reply to emailed queries.

This is older news from 2022 but wondered if anybody had tried her Doré line yet. Garance Doré. Forgive if someone posted previously.
@Sunnysmom - I had planned to try the three products that were released last year. As always I read the ingredients and saw that two of them contain beeswax, so I passed. I may pick up the beeswax-free product at some point. It's just not a priority.
I debated too, didn’t think about the beeswax element tho. We’ll have to discuss if we try them ( and if my brain can remember to find you!) 🤗
L’Oréal Professionnel Heads to Sephora
L’Oréal Professionnel has inked a specialty retail partnership with Sephora.
The brand is entering 26 Sephora doors with six collections, including its Metal Detox, Curl Expression, Vitamino, Silver, Absolut Repair and Prolonger franchises. They will debut online Aug. 8 and in-store in Aug. 16.
Mounia Tahiri, the brand’s general manager, said the partnership comes at a time of growth for the brand. “We’ve been very focused on our ranges that not everybody has — the ones based on our expertise as the number-one professional brand in the world,” Tahiri said. “It’s really paying off — this year is probably going to be our record growth year, and last year, we had a very strong year.”
“Our relationships with the salons is clear and solid. They can really see what our brand focuses are,” Tahiri said. “The relationship with Sephora is only going to enhance their relationship with their customers… we’re at a point in the U.S. where professional and prestige retailers are enhancing each other, and the demand for professional products has never been so high.”
It comes as those channels continue to blur. Recently, Briogeo entered the professional side of the business with SalonCentric. As it applies to L’Oréal Professionnel, “One thing that made our partnership so meaningful with Sephora was that their guests over-index when it comes to going to salons,” Tahiri said. “They will translate those products from Sephora to asking for a service.”
For Tahiri, Sephora allows the brand to cast a much wider net. “There’s not professional products in everyone’s showers,” she said. “There’s still so many consumers we can touch and that’s where Sephora comes in. They can help us continue to develop that awareness. And that is being anchored in salons, so ultimately, it’s a win-win.”
Tahiri contended that hair stylists are still the brand’s foremost ambassadors. “The experience, the relationship you create with your stylist, you’ll never get anywhere else. Our presence and partnership with Sephora is only a way to bring awareness that that exists, and that our professional products exist, and that will drive their curiosity around what services could enhance their regimen, and what steps can be built in.”
The move also comes as prestige hair care continues to climb. According to Circana, prestige hair care grew 11 percent in the first quarter of 2023, outpacing the mass market.
@CookieGirl1 Interesting. How long has it been since they got rid of their L'Oreal Paris line?
I have a beauty grudge against them that I can't even talk about...not even on BIC.
@greeneyedgirl107 I didn't think that they HAD gotten rid of L'Oreal Paris.
@CookieGirl1 I could certainly be wrong. I'm thinking of the Paris line with the cubism (red, blue and yellow) @Titian06
@CookieGirl1 - I was scratching my head over that one too! 🤔
Beauty item recycling/repurposing at Sephora:
https://www.sephora.com/beauty/pact-collective-recycling-program
Cross posted with Sephora + pact
These 7 brands founded by people of color have formally graduated from the program and are preparing to launch at Sephora.
Another new line, this one from Katie Jane Hughes, a celebrity makeup artist. I really like her!
This one bummed me out as it was effective for muscle and myofacial issues @CookieGirl1. 😢
@CookieGirl1 @Sunnysmom Wow, when my friend told me about Lord Jones shutting down a few months ago I was super, super bummed that I wouldn't get to purchase their products even on liquidation from US to Canada (we researched it - can't bring CBD products when flying across the border). But I didn't hear the part about them opening in Canada soon! That's surpassed my wildest dreams! Their products are effective for me in relieving any aches I have. Thank you guys for sharing this news 🙏🏻
