We suck! Inglot is a Polish brand. I did know this, but we had to film late at night and my brain went to mush. Sorry if the mistake offended anyone! ❤
Thank you for claritying - I was a bit confused. Inglot has also retreated from most European countries. Not sure if t hey still have a brick and mortar shops,
@@luciliacaramelo2100there is still an inglot store in central London don’t know about anywhere else
I remember a long time ago they had a pop in store in the Macy's at the Southcenter Westfield Mall in Tukwila / South of Seattle. It was back in 2013 though!! That was a long time ago but I remember at the time they had really nice single pallets shimmer eyeshadows. I almost went with them for a look I was trying to make but eventually I went with coverFX liquid blue shimmer highlighter
Inglot still has stores, mostly in malls, in Poland. in late 2000s early 2010s they went from being 'older women' type brand to expanding overseas and making products for muas rather then regular consumers. the jlo collab didn't make much noise. they made a bunch of bad business decisions and lost their footing tbh
@@luciliacaramelo2100they had them in Poland last time I was there but they had them for decades so I don't think they will go away there
Real Techniques is fine in the US too. I've noticed that drugstores are expanding the amount of their products that they carry. I don't see their gimmicky brushes anymore. They seem to be settling into their niche of being good affordable brushes.
Yes!, they started to appear at my local Walmart here in Mexico a few years ago. And they were not sold at Walmart by any means when pixiwoo was around, they used to be sold yhrough more expensive local retailers that are not even present in certain small cities around the country, and if they are, they are expensive 😆 so when I saw them at my local Walmart I was like yheiii! 🥳🎉 I can finally find them without driving to another city. They are definitely settling on being good affordable brushes and I love it 💙.
I just love watching these regularly again. Thanks for continuing the series!!
I used to shop at the The Body Shop when I was younger. They kept discontinuing products I loved. The nail in the coffin for me is when they changed there body butter ingredients to shit.
Will never forgive them for discontinuing White Musk Libertine perfume, but they seem to discontinue stuff *constantly* - they take such a weird approach to their product range
And why everyone stop doing buth bubble in the bottle?) I don’t want some fancy stuff, just add a little something with nice aroma…. Usual body wash’s don’t have such aroma… Clarins has it though 😅
Urban Decay has shut down all counters here in Switzerland and pulled off of all the retailers. So it's basically not available anymore here. The Body Shop still has their shops here
Hearing Farsali put things on pause for their brand to start a family rather than handing the reigns to someone else is giving me Beauty Bakerie vibes. Like its weird but live your life fam
Yeah. I get not wanting to hand off a passion project, something YOU created, but... plenty of people start families and run businesses? It's an interesting choice. I guess if someone can afford to do that then good for them.
Oh yeah, I forgot the beauty bakery did something similar
Avon and Natura are super big in latinamerica. They’re affordable and readily available, so it makes sense that Brazil wants to keep those brands alive
Man, Stila was my jam when I was in highschool/college in the early 2000s 😂
Inglot is from Poland! Its doing very well here but its understandable that they're pulling off of the international market
I am from Poland as well and I noticed that within the last few years Inglot went from having stores in malls to having just counters in malls hallways (at least in Warsaw and Wrocław).

I love the eyeshadows and lipsticks of Inglot. High quality and straightforward packaging. They're only selling through online sellers or e-commerce here in the Philippines now after the pandemic hit.
Loved this beauty chat. When you called Bobbi Brown and ABH furniture, and said they may scale back it made me think that some of those mainstay brands do seem to no longer offer full ranges everywhere. In the 90s and 2000s, you could buy everything at one makeup counter. Bobbi Brown used to do a lot palettes and eyeshadow singles; they seem to focus more on skin and lips now. Benefit used to offer more by way of eye shadows, now they specialize in a more pared down range. Just a couple examples. And perhaps these brands do offer full ranges in other countries/stores than what’s available near me.
Ironically I bought a Bobbi brown shadow stick this morning. But covid fallout is a thing. We’ve lost many great brands and products in the COVID wake. 💀 may they rest in peace
You're right about Real Techniques; they are still going strong in the UK, too. I was in Superdrug the other week, and there must have been about 7 different variations on their original sponge. I also still have all of my original RT brushes except one, which is frankly miraculous.
I live in the US but I'm currently in Frankfurt Germany. I shopped in Rossmann and the DM. They both carried Real Techniques brushes in packs and singles. Back home, you can find them in Ulta, Target, Walmart, as well as many drugstores. I really like their brushes. The price point and quality are fantastic.
I love seeing you both and listening to your thoughts and opinions.
Completely unrelated to this video. I’ve just got back from Frankfurt! I love it there! Jealous ❤
Real Techniques is a solid drugstore brush brand in the U.K., they’re in Boots and Superdrug, our major high street retailers in the U.K.
I’m just glad Bourjois is back in the U.K. Smashbox has left the U.K. market and I can’t say I miss it.
Body Shop is still going for now in the U.K., but its future is definitely iffy. I refused to purchase anything from when they went the mlm route, whilst under natura ownership, but thankfully, the new owners closed sh*t down.
Stila had a bit of resurgence with Bridgerton because the cream cheek was used in Bridgerton. I hope they keep going, though because I really do like their liquid and retractable liner.
Shipping cross border has become soooo expensive since the pandemic and with the UK since Brexit as well. Its having a major impact across all businesses. Its why a lot of retailers have stopped free delivery and free returns. Costs are just so much higher. And customs has become stricter in certain locations. Add all that to the covid 19 impacts on shopping habits in general and it was inevitable a chunk of brands in all industries would take a nose dive.
Can confirm as a canuck.
We have 1 body shop in town, that i know of- I wondered what happened to the one in my local mall, but there's still one in the large mall.
I received an email today saying “Scott Barnes Cosmetics is Back!” Apparently their website is back up and running. Just why? Who asked for this?
Nobody.
His stuff should be 1/4 the price it is now. It is all made in China.
Nobody. But I have to admit that I was tempted to buy an eyeshadow palette from him because he really nailed my taste but they are grotesquely overprized. Even Tati can't convince me otherwise.
Kiko has been recently bought by a french company and has already increased prices like crazy. Their bridgerton collection has some bangers like the gloss that has very beautiful glitters.
Their prices went up so much but the quality is still mediocre (but I have to admit the packagings are beautiful)!!! I was buying a gloss for my cousin and found out that the Bridgestone one was like 20€, double the price of their regular glosses
I think the logistic headaches during/after the lockdowns was a big factor for some companies to stick to local. With climate change and other potential pandemics in the future, sending product/supplies around is a bigger investment with a bigger risk than before.
I was a manager for The Body Shop for years, back when the Australian branch was still owned by the Wise Foundation. I saw the handover to Loreal and that was the beginning of the end for me. Definitely the push I needed to get out of retail and change careers. We saw some really innovative skin care come through, would create huge buzz with our loyal customers (I was in a prominent city location) and when the actual launch would hit, received very little product and couldn't sustain the sales. Still expected to meet our sales targets though! The availability of stock continued to decline and we couldn't keep up with our basic best sellers. It was insanely stressful as a store manager, placating customers and trying to boost staff morale. So glad I got out when I did.
That's what investment firms do. Chop, chop, chop...
That's what I was going to say. Private equity is a business killer
To be honest, i like to see when good formulas from different brands get consolidated together, there are too many Brands in my Opinion :D
In the US, the Body Shop was heavily locked into mall real estate. Alot of incidental foot traffic because of the yummy smells emanating from the store, leading to impulse purchases. Malls declined severely with online shopping. Body Shop had a moment with their hand sanitizers, and then went down with the mall. Secondly, I think the "middle" price tier just doesn't hold with body washes and lotions. Drugstore has got much better than before, they have a captive crowd already in the store.
Jouer got picked up by Beautylish and Sephora, and their makeup holds up to Chantecaille level at half the price, if people try it. Bobbi Brown limited editions still sell out, but yeah it's a nostalgia brand. Bobbi took a lot of us to Jones Road, her products there are stunning on dry, very mature skin and by mature I mean 60+, a market nobody else is targeting.
The luxury clients lately are interested in Paco Rabanne and Prada, kinda the newest hot brands.
Yep. Can concur that The Body Shop died with the malls. Bath and Body Works also was just better in every aspect. It also might have hurt them when folks found out about their MLM section of their business.
Your comment reminded me of the real hay-day of Body Shop - I don’t know when the BS started in malls, but I was a child of the 80’s and remember the buzz in that shop - they would actually have people outside getting you to come inside, a bit aggressively - with buckets of balms and “natural” products in packaging of all the colors of the rainbow - it was a sight really
- but a core memory, maybe I was between 14-16, a sales guy dragged us in - he was very much a *sales man* above all else - he definitely was targeting and flirting with the ladies - he was selling bronzer - one shade - the bronzer smelled delicious to me but it was soooooooo ORANGE -- soooooo SHINY -- sooooo powdery - he kept polishing me with it (no, he didn’t ask if he could put product on us) and trying to “tan me up” - “look, look, see how much your skin glows and is so tan. You don’t even need to lay out in the sun. This will tan you exactly like the sun” - well it was the tanning era of the 80’s - but it became so very funny at some point bc it was so obvious that I was not going to look good with an orange tan; tanning wasn’t going to happen for me naturally or *unnaturally* - I looked like an orange version of the sparkly vampires of twilight
I always think of *that* day when any and every bronzing product comes out now - I chuckle 😂
I totally get that you don't get at all the AVON/Natura thing 😂, but, here in Latin American countries they're both prominent and well stablished brands. Natura because is a Brazilian brand with a focus on natural and exotic ingredients from the Amazonia all around their products and AVON because they have known how to maintain their clients through the years specially because of their prices. They're both sold through brochures (and through their web pages of course) and that is a very successful bussiness model in Latin American countries, so I don't see AVON going to the bankruptcy any time sooner. Also they produce here in Latin America so that adds to the revenue and the fact that they're still profitable brands. The market on Latin American countries and the European/ Anglo-Saxon ones are quite different since the capacities 💵💰 are different 😢😅.
I don't think we have never had Natura in Australia, but we did have Avon for over 50 years, so we know it well haha. I remember looking through the catalogues that were left at our doorstep, even as an adult! It closed down just before the pandemic because no one was buying from it anymore, so it might be popular in some places but it is exiting a lot of countries ❤
@@BEAUTYNEWS Yes, absolutely. I confess I'm a regular consumer of both. My aunt has been selling AVON since I can remember so I can't help it 🤣. And I gotta tell you, most of their makeup actually works 👍🏻, jaja.
Avon was still paying my grandma's pension up until she died this last Christmas, 30 years after she retired. I think they're doing ok.
I'm in southern California.
I visited Brazil 13 years ago and stepped into Natura in Sao Paulo out of curiosity. We were backpacking and could not afford much. The sales associates probably could tell but still gave us their time. Customer service was excellent.
Have we talked about cover fx? I feel like I just remembered them talking about these brands!
Yes they were a really good brand, not sure why they left Sephora and Ulta.
'Stila made some fuckin' bangin products!' Never a truer word spoken 🤣
Are they not Stila-round? 😂
Ulta has the benefit brow bars and benefit typically has one of the largest displays in Ulta. Also I think the vast majority of Benefit products are 'quiet' products. Porefessional, hula (and most of their other boxed powders), all of their mascaras. They release some gimmicky spin off ranges that probably don't sell well, but I'd imagine their core range sells great. Even though no one is talking about it because these products have been around for a long time.
Couldn’t agree more!
Their best selling products are boring, old releases of things that people need to buy more of pretty often, like brow products and mascara. It's smart, kind of refreshing tbh. I wish more brands would lean into their classic products. I'm so tired of brands discontinuing holy grail products to make way for the constant churn of new releases tbh
The Roller Lash mascara is really good. One of the few mascaras that actually does anything to my short, straight lashes.
They even have vending machines in some airports. It's really convenient if you're travelling and you realized you forgot to bring something.
I deeply appreciate this comment section. I was just thinking about the body shop and comparing it to bath and body works, in that they are constantly releasing and discontinuing. This is why I love benefit - I know I can return to the goods, and they are consistent. I hope they don’t change that.
The item I repurchase most often is my brow products and mascara, because if I am wearing any makeup I am filling in my brows and using mascara, so it makes sense that those would be a brand's hero products.
Avon is very big in Brazil. They are selling diretly, not so much by representatives
I buy one thing at Bobbi Brown and it’s not even makeup it’s the fragrance Beach. I buy it every year for summer
Avon is quite strong a brand in Latin America and Natura is from Brazil. It kind of makes sense as they both are magazine-based MLMs
Since Natura is mostly a Brazilian company they probably are focusing on Avon cus they still are popular here in Brazil
I don’t really know if melt will survive. They lean too far into the weed aesthetic and are trying to run an entire company from that one lane. I bought one of the palettes from the day of the dead collection and the shadows were pressed so hard I didn’t want to use them.
Yeah, when you mentioned Farsali it made me wonder how many brands were either dropped or pulled out of Ulta/Sephora & now sell directly thru Facebook & Instagram?
The body shop had its heyday in fhe 90's it was pocket mobey proces, and really alpealed tonthenteen market - strong anti animal testing and WWF supporting. They tried to go too upmarket and raised the prices - teens couldnt afford them and adults with money choose other brands. The MLM style body shop at home also felt a wierd arm.
Yes, they got rid of all their affordable products and went for a load of SPA style products in the black packaging ( face masks). They discontinued the honey range, which was my favourite, especially the lip balm in a pot.
I remember buying ice blue shampoo, the clear mandarin soap and the blue corn mask 😂 loved them all and all were discontinued 😢
Yes. I was a young adult in the 90’s and having the money to buy a body shop product from time to time was so luxurious for me. Same with Crabtree and Evelyn, their stores smelled DIVINE
One to add is Dragun Beauty, though unsure of the trajection if she comes back - Jen Luvs has a video covering her lifetime.
I was a Beauty Advisor for Body Shop years ago (before it even called "beauty advisor", just store crew), and I never forget my manager's advice to me.
"Never put your hopes up high in this company, child. Its not a submarine, its a slow sinking ship. When opportunities arrives, be the first one to say goodbye to us."
So seeing so many stores closing and the remaining stores selling stuff for low low price (70% - 85% off for hand cream, body lotion, and bath products?) is pretty crazy for me. I never thought they became so desperate that, allegedly, from a source that I wont disclose, said to me that some stores in other areas gave different rates of discounts from the others so they got a lot of sales before closing. A store near me legit was trying to sell so many stuff, even buckets of lipbalms and scrubs for 85% off, and I am talking about products that is still have long way to go before their expiration date.
I used to daydream about being the person, the MUA, that would give tips and advice on the screen in the stores. I am glad that it never happen because, even our MUAs that used to be the "face" for body shop, never talk about their products anymore.
I remember seeing body shops giving out such deep discounts even 10 years or more ago - when lots of people still went to malls - and I did see different sales at different stores,- then malls became empty and I saw deep discounts online and got email every day about more and more discounts - I’ve been confused about how in the world they made money for over a decade really! Well, it was good of that manager to give you sound advice … maybe he knew something more than most
@@vwiccy yeah, thats the first reason why I was interested to work in Body Shop, because of the discounts, it just made me think that they are trying to make their product affordable (because Indonesia is 3rd world country and even tho body shop price is not "expensive" on other countries, in here it is pretty expensive).
And back then, they usually have a lot more sales for products that are not new, or simple products on their line like balms, hand sanitizer, body lotion, etc. And things like skincare, makeup, tools, and perfume were never have big discounts or if they were discounted, it came in a pack so we cant just buy one, or you can get deals on your birthday. These days, I even see their tea tree oil get 30% discount, which is considered a cult classic item and were never discounted over 10% before. Thats wild to me.
God I'm so fucking disappointed that Michelle Phan went balls deep into a cult. I grew up watching her OG videos and had been saving up to buy from her when she relaunched her brand.
I love Beauty Blenders. They last so much longer than any sponges I have bought and they are easy to clean. They recommend changing it every 6 months (I think) but I could easily use one for a year without problem. They are absolutely amazing to use with powder too.
Sadly they never considered making different shapes, just colours. I keep waiting for the day they release something with a flat surface. They could even have made triangle sponges, but never did.
I have used their setting powder and that stuff is really good too.
However, everyone wants to try new things and brand.
The biggest reason I stopped buying beauty blenders or blenders of any kind is because I use my hands to apply foundation. It is less waste - water and soap, when it comes to cleaning.
I was surprised about the body shop as I'm in Canada, and they seem to be doing well here. I feel like they manage to do well because they hardly had any competition for years and years and that created a decent client base.
Avon & Mary Kay take me back to the 60s & 70s. My mom sold Avon as a side gig (she always worked in an office) & Avon was my first makeup & fragrance as a young tween/teen. Some of their perfume bottles & decanters & jewelry is actually collectible now 😮
I still keep Sweet Honesty in my perfume collection! It’s a gorgeous fragrance. I also buy giant bottles of skin so soft body wash, it makes my skin velvety 😅
Avon is still big in the US. You can find a seller in every neighborhood. I will miss The Body Shop though. I loved moringa and satsuma.
I buy Avon directly online. I still use their skin so soft line and the sweet honesty perfume.
You forgot to mention the big one: UOMA Beauty and it's drugstore, diffusion line: UOMA by Sharon C ... 😑
Body shop made the most epic error when they discontinued the dewberry range which was a huge seller. Here in the UK many highly influential influences like the pixiwoo sisters etc tried to get them to reinstate it..they just didn't listen to their customers.
They are just one of those stores that is constantly churning out new releases. It’s getting old.
FYI Tati's court case wasn't resolved. She is waiting for trial in Nevada in August. It was shifted from March to August. Emily D Baker will most likely cover it! but it won't be live streamed.
From her updates it sounds like it is wrapping up, and she clearly has an indication of how it will go if she's planning on the brand return.
He keeps suing her in different states.
Tati just loads up thumbnails of potential palettes for attention along with a "poor me" diatribe.
He was suing her in 3 states, it was all moved to Nevada under 1 judge. Tati has probably a lot of plans after it all resolves, but my guess is that they need to wait for the trial to start anything. I can't imagine how frustrating ig must have been when they were ready for the trial in March and suddenly it was moved to August.
Well it appears Tati has revolved this. But she’s gone off her rocker. I get being financially in a tough position, but wholly heck she’s pushing products hard and being overt about it in conversation.
Omg I LOVEEEE the ciaté shimmery blushes. I still have them in my collection they are gorgeous! Totally forgot about that brand until you mentioned it though lol
The beauty blender foundation and the skin tint are actually both excellent underrated products imo. Idk, they need to rebrand or remarket or something, bc I think they are fabulous.
The foundation is holy grail. Never had a more perfect match with
no irritation
Beauty blender defender here! I love them but I do always buy the sets on sale.
Kiko Milano has the BEST eyeshadow sticks available. And they are $12.50 US, which is fully at least half the price of all of the other eyeshadow sticks. I have purchased multiples of my favorite shades. (#15 is equivalent to Thrive Muna)
Awesome episode - so many brands I forgot about that were so hot and at the top of popularity just a few years ago it seems -
Body shop is doing ok in Sweden. There are several shops all over the country. But I’m not sure about the company structure, maybe the Swedish branch is a franchise.
Same in Finland
I am personally keeping beauty blender afloat, I absolutely ADORE. Their skin tint as someone w dry skin it leaves my skin so radiant but it’s so lightweight I would die if they ever went under lol
almost all the melt palettes at sephora have gone on sale. they also had a nightmare before christmas collab that came out in the spring 🤷♀
I’m in New Zealand and it’s still going strong here. I used to buy because they were one of very few cruelty free at the time. Too much accessible competition. But really interesting that Aus/NZ keeping it afloat. 😊
When you said Shu Uemura is essentially a Japan-exclusive brand now I got so confused and had to double check bc I thought I saw their stuff in-store recently. They're still available here in Canada through a few retailers as well as their online shop, maybe they're only in select markets?
Can confirm that Nabla and Kiko are doing really well here in Italy! People say Kiko is terrible yet they keep releasing stuff. I think it's very hit or miss. I like their mascaras but eyeshadow palettes are horrible
Yeah, I made the mistake of buying a kiko eyeshadow palette and it was just so bad. No pigmentation, I threw it out.
No... Ciate is enormous in Germany together writh essens. 😊
We are just now started to be Abel to get ciate and essens in our supermarket her in Denmark.
They are sister company's.
I live in the uk and always bought many products from the body shop but for some reason they stopped selling loads of products and I just stopped shopping there last time I visited a store there was nothing really to buy in there not surprised their closing xx
In South Africa the Body Shop is afloat, one shop in all the major malls and a partnership with our largest drugstores "Clicks", with a gondola in most if not all drugstore.
I'm sad because it appears Melt Cosmetics is "pulling out" of Sephora Canada. everything is either sold out or on clearance. :(
Oh my gosh, why is every product pulling out of Sephora in Canada???
@@Ryanneeythey’re replacing good brands with their own scammy in-house brands.
INGLOT is a Polish brand T_T
Yep! We fucked up! I blame filming at 10pm haha
Stila’s Kitten eyeshadow is my holy grail and idk if I could ever be without it!!
So, so, SO glad you ladies are back 💖
JD glow ✨️ cosmetics was the biggest shock to me because they rebranded and closed completely.
Weirdly, Ulta just sent out a Lorac shade in a free sample set last week. I haven't thought of them in ages.
I’m not sure what’s worse- having so many brands today, or just having only a handful of crap brands back in the 80s ..which you could only get at the drugstore.
They absolutely had premium brands in the 80’s, but you had to go buy them at department stores. Clinique and Lancôme were huge in the 80’s for both skincare and makeup.
There are so many things from em cosmetics I would love to buyout there international shipping rates are insane
I seem to remember Sam referred to RT as “her” brushes. Also Nic came into it later.
You are right, LH and Nabla are still very much happening here in Europe. I buy them a lot still
Pur comes to mind for me they don't seem to be current anymore. Here in Australia Chi Chi have pulled out of Target and I think they will depart Myer as well.
Damn, didn’t realise they pulled out. I would have got another lot of the thin perfume tubes as I like quite a few of them and I’m not allergic to any which is a miracle.
I have to be super careful with perfumes and was surprised all were fine. They were fun scents.
@@watson483 Yeah I liked their perfume too. You can still buy from their website.
I actually really love that companies are no longer doing regular releases. I am not a fan of that. I appreciate when a company has an identity "niche", and isn't trying to ride the hype train.
The Body Shop Franchise Locations are still open. Several in Sweden are open, and I wouldn't be surprised if the same is true in the rest of Europe.
ms Anastasia from ABH is a long time putin supporter. i think it influenced lots of people to stop buying from them.
I found out too late or forgot and bought a palette not that long ago..then realized that I am allergic to all of their eyeshadow formulas!!!! 😂😭
Body shop stills in Canada too (Toronto at least).
East coast, too.
Real Techniques has a good amount of shelf space in Finland.
Thank you for talking about Real Techniques. I couldn't find any updates online. The brushes are still available in the U.S., in grocery stores, Target and Walmart.
I had NO clue you can’t buy body shop in the us anymore ! Looks like the items are winding down at ulta too.
I always use the name brand beauty blender. I’ve tried the bobo ones before but I didn’t like the texture.
36:30 ish I agree I don’t understand why they went into cosmetics, they could have really invested into tool technology, and made amazing brushes or other things like that, aside from the weird tools they released instead
Man... Tati's palette was AMAZING. While I'd love more products from her, I don't know if I wanna support her in this odd journey. She was the first influencer I ever watched, and I watched religiously, but I quit a few months after she came back post-scandal. Girlfriend seems to be on a weird path. Not to mention Halo ended up being pretty scammy...
Im 24 from the UK and remember watching the pixiwoo sisters when I was 9/10! So crazy to only just find out that they arent the brand owners.
If Ciate ever go under i will CRY their Extraordinary foundation is hands down the best foundation i’ve ever tried, full coverage, dewy, lasts all day literally PERFECT soo much better than my higher end Nars/Mac/Armani ones and i never hear anyone talk about it!!!
I bought the Robert Welsh/Ciaté box, love Everything in it except the mascara, it's okay but not outstanding. The highlighter stick is great on my Victorian ghost complexion, probably too subtle for a lot of people. The eyeshadow palette is the neutral I use most often.
Girls, this episode was so much fun!! Nostalgia is real lol Thank you for your research and hard work. Love ya!!! ❤❤❤
I love these videos, perfect for someone like me who doesn't have friends to talk about makeup with 😅🖤
The Body Shop is a weird one. In Perth there is a fast sinking shopping centre called The Galleria. The Body Shop store has been there since it opened and it’s just moved. I’m just waiting for it to shut, but it seems to keep going. It did move, but it’s still there. I’ve never seen anyone in there, it’s creepy.
Weird coincidence. I was just shopping at the Body Shop yesterday. I got shave cream for my dad because it's his favorite. The person at the cash said the store had been swamped with male shoppers. I'm in Canada.
When I worked at Body Shop that shave cream was my holy grail for shaving my legs! Can't justify the price any more without my discount but it is really good!
We still have the Body Shop in Canada but I've noticed over the last 6 months several malls locations closed, and I'm seeing their products on Amazon and one of our main drug store websites, Shoppers Drug Mart
Love Kat's background!
As a NZer who tried a lot of brands during that hyped period, what I learned is that few were offering something so much uniquely better to justify price and humungous international shipping costs especially as more brands have become available locally. . If anything had expected more brands to implode faster.
What happened to Joue? Sorry if you mentioned them, I’m not finished watching the video. I think Covid hit hard and maybe they’re are just now recovering or they didn’t recover.
Omg, I went onto the ABH website and realized they made a 6th Norvina palette 🤣. But I'd consider myself an ABH quiet consumer. I love their foundation and their cream bronzer. I'm sure many people are hooked on their brow products. I'm not really sure who's buying their new palette releases tho - as if anyone buying ABH doesn't have a stack of at least 20 eyeshadow palettes already.
I just bought Vol 3 last year because I needed colors for Pride. It’s very very good quality and useful because none of my other palettes are so bright. So many of the ABH palettes are mostly neutral with just one or two brights if any
ABH has had a PR hit from their founder’s political posts.
I still have the shadows from my prism palette but I deconstructed the pans into a magnetic custom palette from Amazon because I didn't want to rep the ABH Branding anymore after the owner was caught liking photos of Putin on Instagram... Right as there's war in Ukraine. Like wtf...
@@Iquey Oh damn this is the first I'm hearing of that - also such a weird way to show support like ???
I stopped buying from ABH last year when it came to light that the founder is a Putin, Trump and extreme right wing supporter. I don’t support those companies, NudeSticks and Ofra are other trump supporters.
I was glued to all news and everything about makeup between 2016 - 2018/2019 maybe and its so weird to see how this hype has completely died down. What might be interesting is… what are the most popular makeup (and beauty) brands right now? Who is on the rise? 😊
That’s so interesting, thank you ❤ it’s sad how so many brands are gone or almost dead from bad business decisions. I’ve been a beauty junkie since the 90’s, so I’ve seen a few come and go. It always makes me sad when a previously superstar brand just dies a slow death.
I went from being Sephora Rouge every year for the past 10 years to spending a grand total of 75 dollars at Sephora last year. All the brands I love are out of Sephora, and they’ve been replaced by scammy ‘clean’ brands and celebrity makeup/skincare lines. I still buy from my favorites like Perricone MD, Viseart and Pat McGrath but directly from their websites instead of Sephora; the sales are so much better than Sephora ever had anyway. I don’t see myself being Sephora Rouge in the future, that time has passed for me. And at the same time I have a lot of powder based makeup that’s still perfectly good, so I don’t need to buy as much. Also drugstore makeup has gotten so much better now it’s much harder to see any difference.
I sold my Tati palette, it sucked tbh. At least I made double my money back😂. The color scheme was weird and the shadows were inconsistent. Premium eyeshadow brands are a million times better than that palette. I was a Tati fan back then (not anymore) and really tried to make it work but it was so patchy.
Inglot is not doing well in Europe. When you go to any European big city, you see giant malls and Inglot is nowhere to be seen. Kiko Milano is everywhere. Inglot just closed all it’s stores in Finland. The products are constantly out of stock or on sale in online retail stores. Portugal has 1 store and Spain 2. I bet it is going out.
I still have and use some of the original real techniques brushes and their beauty sponges I rebuy. They’re great brushes.
And was the pixie woo sisters the first big influencers to do a deal with a brush company and none of us noticed? lol
At Etos (a common drugstore in the Netherlands) the make up brush stand has Real Techniques, ecotools, beauty blender sometimes and the Etos brand. People seem to buy it. I have them as well, I like them. But then again, most of my favorite brushes are from a budget line bh cosmetics set that’s 10+ years old, so what do I know.
Sephora US still sells Shu uemura. I think a lot of smaller global brands were hit hard during the pandemic with rising postal prices. Sending packages back and forth across the globe has sky rocketed since the pandemic. It’s hard for smaller brands to compete with large companies that ship within the US and offer free shipping. I’m can’t speak for everyone but when I get charged shipping I usually abandon my cart unless I really really want that product and can’t get it somewhere else with free shipping. So many companies offer loyalty level free shipping or purchase a certain amount to get free shipping that it’s hard for these foreign brands to sell in the day US because they can’t absorb the shipping costs and it other parts of the world the rising shipping fees I’m sure have caused people to order less thus these brands are now sticking to where they can ship reasonably.
Black Moon is definitely niche. Lunatick Labs is niche. I just thru out a couple BM highlighters & liquid lipsticks. I bought from them specifically for cosplay/Halloween but never loved the formula of the products enough to keep them altho the colors they offer are very unique & their packaging is pretty.
I still have most of my RT brushes. Their blush brush is still my favorite for powder bronzer & blush & they had some small dense detail eye brushes that I have not been able to dupe in natural hair higher end brushes.
Aurelius are actually taking bids for the body shop, looks like if there's a sale it will be confirmed soon. Not sure where you got the info from on IP?
Body shop also still up in Canada, i like their make up.
i can’t believe how large your channel has become! i’ve been following you since you guys began
I love Smashbox, their foundation (hydrating) is amazing for oily skin, and they have light olive shades too. One of my favourite. And their matte lipsticks were ahead of time, very nice formula. Nothing near new Nars release, I think they could have made it better and re release it. Mascara is also amazing. Not to mention eyeshadow primer and cream eyeshadows in a tube. The best thing ever for oily skin 😅
more specifically shu uemura is pretty much east asia centric now, their stores in Japan and in China are doing pretty well (both online and department stores) I've yet been to south korean but i assume they're doing ok there too
Oh how I miss those stilla eye shadows that were so popular. If stilla would take the idea of what rom& is doing they would change the game
