Nordstrom stocks fell 15% today as inflation sets in deeper for many US consumers. As per a Nordstrom statement, they are even struggling to sell clearance at this point and had to make deeper markdowns than anticipated to move clearance inventory out. They expect to be hit with a $200 million profit loss the second half of the year.

“The softening trend was more significant in customer segments with the lowest income profile,” Nordstrom CEO Erik Nordstrom stated on the company’s earnings call. “While we saw greater resilience in the higher-income segments — for example, at the Nordstrom banner, items with lower AURs [average unit retail prices] underperformed — higher AURs within our designer business and higher-price luxury projects significantly outperformed lower-priced product.”

This doesn’t surprise me in the least as I’ve noticed that sale items have remained in stock across the board at many stores lately. At one point in time when something when on sale it almost immediately got snatched up. That’s simply not the case now. Most sale items are on sale and in stock for many months after they were clearanced out.

I suspect the Holiday Makeup Collections this year will be fairly minimal due to this but we’ll have to see. Last year, Holiday Collections came out and were on sale within a short time frame and I think we’ll see more of that this year but I also, think the collections will be scaled back.

What do you think?

As you know Sephora recently did away with their Flash Shipping service.

Earlier in the month their terms and services were updated with the following message regarding the Flash Shipping program:
Prior to June 15, 2022, the FLASH annual subscription was, renewed automatically; this feature has been disabled as of June 15, 2022 and all subscriptions that were current as of that date will end one year after the date they were started or last renewed.

What was Flash Shipping?
Sephora Flash Unlimited 1-2 Day Shipping was originally a free service for Rouge Members but earlier on 2-Day Flash Shipping was a $10 option available to anyone that made purchases. It went through a few changes where the price was $15 for non-Rouge Members and was even offered as a reward you could select when your Rouge status was renewed for a new year.

It wasn’t something that really benefited me, to be honest as many of my orders came within 4-5 days and never 2 but many people were pretty upset when they just up and did away with it completely earlier in the month.

They have now since revised this and sent out a notice that reads:
We want to keep you informed of some changes happening to the Beauty Insider program as we work hard to provide all members with meaningful and exciting benefits. We’re updating our Beauty Insider benefits to include free standard shipping on all qualifying online purchases in the U.S. and Canada. This change will go into effect 9/21/22.
