Quite a few of you asked me how the new Dunkin Donuts Avo Toast tasted and if I liked it after I posted about it in my prior post earlier this week. Fear not! I’m here to give you the scoop!

I’m an expert at paying $18 and upwards for a fancy Avo Toast. I honestly don’t think we have Avo Toast in New York that costs less than $18 unless of course, you make it yourself. But typically the Avo Toast around here is an experience. It’ll be served on a thick, crusty loaf of bread and it’ll be topped with egg or other tasty vittles.

Dunkin Avo Toast is actually a much more affordable option at $3 bucks! They even went and put it in a special box so the avo isn’t spread all over the place.

What’s it taste like?

Well…

I admit I was going to right this snarky little post about Bath and Body Works Hawaiian scents being back for Spring 2021. It was going to be a grumpy pant points about how tired the whole tropical scent thing was! There was going to be ranting, pissing, moaning, and an occasional angry fist shaken at Bath and Body Works to stop repeating their themed collections.

But they went and released Hibiscus Paradise in a perfume and I forgot my anger for a moment!

I gotta admit I’m sorta feeling the love for Bath and Body Works Hibiscus Paradise. Don’t kill me?

It contains notes of pink hibiscus, juicy guava and coconut how can I not fall in love with this? Who remembers that year Bath and Body Works did a bunch of mini Let’s Go to Hawaii EDPs? I still have them in my beauty closet somewhere! It was back in 2015!

I’m glad they decided to do a new perfume as I feel they are sadly lacking in perfumes. But 2020 they did redeem that with quite a few releases! I just wish they’d do more of them!

Bath and Body Works Hibiscus Paradise Perfume is available now.

You know that amazing satisfying feeling of yanking off a Biore nose strip and feeling so satisfied staring down at the used strip. It really feels like you’ve accomplished something when you rip off a nose strip and find a bunch of disgusting plugs embedded into it. That sense of accomplishment sometimes stems to other weird and unusual things like popping a pimple or ripping the scab off a forbidden cut or sometimes just ripping a hang nail!

What is wrong with us?

The pandemic has slowed a lot of things down! Travel, shipments, and life but beauty mergers and acquisitions are still going strong! One of the biggest deals this year was Estee Lauder finally acquiring the rest of Deciem in an investment that cost them 2.2 billion dollars. Makes you wander what Brandon Truaxe would think about that eh?

Another interesting move was Shiseido striking a 1.5 billion deal with CVC Capital Partners in a join venture that closed this July. This frees the parent company up to chase more higher-end beauty options in the future. This may also translate to making them a major competitor to Estee Lauder and L’Oreal in the future.

Here’s a few other interest beauty mergers and acquisitions that happened recently.

Cathay Capital took a major stake in Juliette Has a Gun. Noteworthy: After this Juliette Has a Gun suddenly started venturing outside of fragrance hmmmm!

Coty closed in on KKW Beauty with a 20% percent stake that cost them 200 million. Coty is keeping in the family I guess considering they recently purchased a major stake in Kyle Cosmetics as well!

Many of Shiseido personal brands from Japan like Uno (you totally remember Orlando Bloom in those awesome Japanese Fiber Neo commercials right?!) and Tsubaki were transferred over to CVC Capital.

There’s also the major deals of Sephora opening up mini stores in Kohl’s and of course the Ulta locations opening at Target.
2020 was a crazy year but the beauty deals are still going strong.

I wonder what we can expect next….!
