I spent $125 on Goop Goopglow Microderm Instant Glow Exfoliator and honestly I have no regrets. Sometimes you have to indulge in expensive skincare! I purchased this on a whim a few months ago when the Pandemic was raging around New York and I was feeling like I needed to buy every single piece of skincare on the planet. Some people were scrambling to hoard away toilet paper but I was over here like “WE NEED MORE FACE MASKS! WE NEED MORE MOISTURIZER! WE NEED MORE LEGOS!” That last part is true…!
So, I am very happy with my holy grail Dr. Denese Firming Facial Microdermabrasion Cream which I recommend to anyone and everything but Goop Goopglow Microderm Instant Glow Exfoliator caught me at a weak moment in my skincare life. I mean, the fact that I purchased anything Goop is pretty funny because come on, we all associate Goop with some of the weirdest beauty ideas. I respect Gwyneth’s drip but I don’t always agree with it. Her ideas of beauty are always a little new age and unusual. Threading facials, detox baths, apitherapy, there’s a lot of “unique” beauty treatments that pop on Goop’s website.
At the time this was offered in a single 1.7 oz size for $125 but they now have a 0.5 oz for $42 if you just wanna test the waters out.
It’s already happening! Holiday is going on sale already! Today Urban Decay has their single eyeshadows on sale for $11 each so if you’re shopping those you might want to also shop their Holiday 2020 Gift Sets which are 50% off!
Crazy but here we are!
Enjoy!
Target and Ulta Beauty announced today that Ulta be opening makeup and skincare mini stores inside Target locations across the country within the second half of new year. That means a smaller little Ulta store will be located inside your local Target (also, Ulta will have a special place on Target’s website to shop make and beauty).
Ulta will begin training Target employees as beauty consultants as well! The Ulta stores inside Target will be about 1,000 square feet and carry around 40 different beauty brands as well as a roatation f different hair care and fragrances. The concept is the same one we’ve seen from Sephora within JCPenny. They’ll also be a new concept at Ulta Target locations called GlamLab that allows customers to safely try on makeup digitally versus swatching or trying items on in store.
This will be a win for both companies as both Target and Ulta have a larger consumer base. Much to my suprise I leanred today that Ulta had store closures this year and a drop in sales so this stands to be a bigger gain for Ulta than Target.
As we know makeup has been hit the hardest during the pandemic with skincare and other bath and body items growing in popularity as more and more people work from home or are just home more often due to COVID.
The concept of Target and Ulta being at one location is an interesting one but will it be an issue for beauty sales at Target? Target already has a rather large beauty section and carries a variety of drugstore and mid-range brands such as Pixi. Will bringing in Ulta effect the sale on these items?
I’m curious to see how this unfolds! But knowing Target we can expect great things from this collaboration I’m sure!
