Here’s How QVC and Ulta Can Catch Up to Other Beauty Retailers

It’s become more clear than every before that Macy’s, Sephora, Nordstrom, and many other retailers are in direct competition with each other. This Holiday season the sales on makeup and beauty were plentiful and maybe even a little bit overwhelming as well. But none the less if it was a sale you were seeking, it was a sale you got with savings up to 60% off major brands like MAC, Urban Decay, Too Faced, and more…!

A few short weeks ago Sephora introduced a new promotion called Weekly Wows which brought together several products each week and marked them down 50% off retail prices. The very interesting thing about this promotion would be the fact you had a choice where to buy the items on sale because every single retailer across the board had the same exact item on sale. If Sephora put the Urban Decay Naked Palette on sale for 50% off you could find it for the exact same price at Ulta, Macy’s, Sephora, and Nordstrom. This made the Sephora’s Weekly Wows a very uneventful sale point.

But I digress, this post isn’t about sales so much but about the fact that Macy’s, Sephora, and Nordstrom have something that QVC and Ulta do not and how they need to do one single simple thing to catch up to these other beauty retailers.

Sephora Favorites Give Me Some New Lip Kit for Spring 2018

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

A new season means a new Give Me Some New Lip Kit from Sephora! This year the Sephora Favorites Give Me Some New Lip Kit gets a packaging revamp with the contents arriving your way in a very cute little cardboard takeaway box. Granted, I’m pretty partial to the reusable sturdy lip-shaped cardboard that the set typically comes in but I do so love cute packaging and this is terribly appealing!

Not only has the packaging been revamped but I’m happy to report a lot of newer brands appear in this set like Fenty Beauty and Huda Beauty as well as brand new products such as the recently released Smashbox Always On Metallic Matte Lip Color.

The set includes five lip products two of which are full-size. This is actually a little less than you got in a few prior sets like the Sephora Favorites Give Me Some Bold Lip which contains six items but not necessarily a major change as the Sephora Favorites Give Me Some Nude Lip included five pieces as well.

The set includes:

  • 0.07 oz Huda Beauty Lip Strobe in Snobby
  • 0.07 oz Marc Jacobs Beauty Le Marc Liquid Lip Crayon in Night Mauves
  • 0.13 oz Smashbox Always On Metallic Matte in XO, Vlada
  • 0.21 treStiQue Mini Plumping Lip Balm in Barbados Berry
  • 0.035 oz Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Mattemoiselle Plush Matte Lipstick in Candy

Sephora Favorites Give Me Some New Lip Kit for Spring 2018 is $28 and available now at Sephora.com.
