Almost Friday Fun - Beauty News Blurbs

Just beauty news I happened by this morning…

Max Azria Wants to do Beauty, too

  • Max Azria (BCBG, Max Azria, Herve Leger, BCBGirls) is planning to get into the beauty and fragrance business in the future! He is currently meeting with different potential partners to help him develop the endeavors appropriately. Source

MAC on @ Backstage Beauty

  • “This season, a big focus for product development is on skin. The M.A.C PRO Team will be sampling a new hydrating foundation with a unique cream gel technology, along with an innovative loose powder that are sure to become backstage staples. Also being tested backstage is a new lipstick formulation that delivers color, shine and moisture, with a buildable coverage. M.A.C aims to launch the products tested backstage to consumers in Winter 2008 or Spring 2009.” Source

Sephora in the UK again?

  • “According to press reports, the LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton-owned perfumery has been in talks with Marks & Spencer with an eye to opening Sephora shop-in-shops.  If that happens, it would mark Sephora’s return to the U.K. after it shuttered its nine perfumeries there in 2005.” Source

Thank you for understanding!

Spring 2009 —- how cruel. The descriptions of the formulations sound so interesting. They don’t have to test it backstage, they can test it on us straight away 🙂 we won’t mind 🙂
