Holiday 2012—here we go! This is the best time of year to buy cosmetics and fragrances. Companies pull out all the stops to create incentives and deals for cosmetics shoppers. Often consumers complain that cosmetics never go on sale (at least not the name brand, designer ones), but that is not true. It's just that the sales look different. Rather than mark products down in price the cosmetics company "value add" their offering. The literally give away products for free with purchases.
I promised I would keep you up to date on more tour dates as they were booked.
I am happy to say there are three new dates added to meet me this season. All events are open to the public and appointments to see me are free )normally a $250 value in my studio). I am looking forward to meeting all of you!
For all our fans in Québec I am so pleased to announce our newest retailer in Gatineau.
These are two terms found on many cosmetics packages that should be ignored: Dermatologist Tested and Clinically Proven
Dermatologist Tested: This term provides absolutely no indication as to the safety of a cosmetic product yet is used to give credibility to a formula. Even is as much to imply a medical safety that does not actually exist. It actually creates an illusion of some sort of medical testing.
I was at a party the other day and someone asked me what is the big difference between all the different types of stores that sell name brand cosmetics.
Some facts:
1. There is no difference in the quality or safety of name brand products sold at department stores vs. discount stores. Example: Elizabeth Arden products sold at The Bay are the same products sold at Costco.
