Robyn <ro...@marigny.uucp>
i passed by a larger VS in the nicer mall in my area yesterday.
they now have NARS, pout and aura science cosmetics. is this a nation–wide
deployment, or just a test drive?

My somewhat local mall (40 miles) has also begun carrying Aura Science.
Haven't been there for awhile, so I don't know if they've added any lines.

Not sure. Bath and Body Works (B&BW)is also carrying Nars now, mainly
at their flagship stores, though there was some article posted recently
here or on MUA that indicated B&BW will carry Nars in the rest of their
stores soon.

Wow. How the mighty hath fallen. There's something sort
of...tacky...about Nars being available at a low–end chain like B&BW.
OTOH, Bendel's candles are now at B&BW––I think all these companies are
owned by Express now.

Not sure what it says about me that I'm thrilled.
As in beyond measure.

I agree, but I'm still pretty excited since I don't have Nars locally. I
checked my BBW today and they now carry CO Bigelow, but no Nars yet.

I think these lines (Nars, Murad, Fekkai, Ahava, Davies Gate, and more)
will only be available at their "Flagship" stores. You can search for
the flagship stores on their website. I think the idea is to become
more Sephora–like. There doesn't seem to be too many of these
Flagships––only the Staten Island Sephora in NY and Sherman Oaks near
LA. Locally, mine is in Troy at Somerset. Maybe they'll add more!

I have seen Murad for sure, and maybe Fekkai and Davies Gate
at my local VS, which is Valley Fair in the SF Bay Area.

We have a flagship BBW in town but it's not at the mall downtown, it's at
the more suburban mall (Stonestown) at the edge of town where only local
residents shop (gets few tourists comared to other location). I thought this
was strange but for me it's actually quite convenient because it's easy to
get to and has free parking.

The March Vogue has a short article about CO Bigelow products going into B&BW.
Sounded interesting. It sounded like they're trying to reposition the stores
into a more upscale arena. Nars & Bigelow would certainly put them there.
Considering that the Sephoras near me tend to be a season behind on their Nars
products, having them in a B&BW close to home would be delightful.
I can't blame a company (Nars) for trying to increase market share and
visibility.

Me either. Besides, what does it matter where you buy your foundation?

I'm suprised that Nars has stayed in business for so long. I love the
products but so many were out of stock for months. Perhaps they will now
have better inventory control.
