The brands YOU think are sinking! | commenters comment 

Thank you for claritying - I was a bit confused. Inglot has also retreated from most European countries. Not sure if t hey still have a brick and mortar shops,

@@luciliacaramelo2100there is still an inglot store in central London don’t know about anywhere else

I remember a long time ago they had a pop in store in the Macy's at the Southcenter Westfield Mall in Tukwila / South of Seattle. It was back in 2013 though!! That was a long time ago but I remember at the time they had really nice single pallets shimmer eyeshadows. I almost went with them for a look I was trying to make but eventually I went with coverFX liquid blue shimmer highlighter

Inglot still has stores, mostly in malls, in Poland. in late 2000s early 2010s they went from being 'older women' type brand to expanding overseas and making products for muas rather then regular consumers. the jlo collab didn't make much noise. they made a bunch of bad business decisions and lost their footing tbh

​@@luciliacaramelo2100they had them in Poland last time I was there but they had them for decades so I don't think they will go away there

Yes!, they started to appear at my local Walmart here in Mexico a few years ago. And they were not sold at Walmart by any means when pixiwoo was around, they used to be sold yhrough more expensive local retailers that are not even present in certain small cities around the country, and if they are, they are expensive 😆 so when I saw them at my local Walmart I was like yheiii! 🥳🎉 I can finally find them without driving to another city. They are definitely settling on being good affordable brushes and I love it 💙.

Will never forgive them for discontinuing White Musk Libertine perfume, but they seem to discontinue stuff *constantly* - they take such a weird approach to their product range

And why everyone stop doing buth bubble in the bottle?) I don’t want some fancy stuff, just add a little something with nice aroma…. Usual body wash’s don’t have such aroma… Clarins has it though 😅

Yeah. I get not wanting to hand off a passion project, something YOU created, but... plenty of people start families and run businesses? It's an interesting choice. I guess if someone can afford to do that then good for them.

Oh yeah, I forgot the beauty bakery did something similar

I am from Poland as well and I noticed that within the last few years Inglot went from having stores in malls to having just counters in malls hallways (at least in Warsaw and Wrocław).

I love the eyeshadows and lipsticks of Inglot. High quality and straightforward packaging. They're only selling through online sellers or e-commerce here in the Philippines now after the pandemic hit.

That's what I was going to say. Private equity is a business killer

Yes they were a really good brand, not sure why they left Sephora and Ulta.

Completely unrelated to this video. I’ve just got back from Frankfurt! I love it there! Jealous ❤

Are they not Stila-round? 😂

Yep. Can concur that The Body Shop died with the malls. Bath and Body Works also was just better in every aspect. It also might have hurt them when folks found out about their MLM section of their business.

Your comment reminded me of the real hay-day of Body Shop - I don’t know when the BS started in malls, but I was a child of the 80’s and remember the buzz in that shop - they would actually have people outside getting you to come inside, a bit aggressively - with buckets of balms and “natural” products in packaging of all the colors of the rainbow - it was a sight really - but a core memory, maybe I was between 14-16, a sales guy dragged us in - he was very much a *sales man* above all else - he definitely was targeting and flirting with the ladies - he was selling bronzer - one shade - the bronzer smelled delicious to me but it was soooooooo ORANGE -- soooooo SHINY -- sooooo powdery - he kept polishing me with it (no, he didn’t ask if he could put product on us) and trying to “tan me up” - “look, look, see how much your skin glows and is so tan. You don’t even need to lay out in the sun. This will tan you exactly like the sun” - well it was the tanning era of the 80’s - but it became so very funny at some point bc it was so obvious that I was not going to look good with an orange tan; tanning wasn’t going to happen for me naturally or *unnaturally* - I looked like an orange version of the sparkly vampires of twilight I always think of *that* day when any and every bronzing product comes out now - I chuckle 😂

Their prices went up so much but the quality is still mediocre (but I have to admit the packagings are beautiful)!!! I was buying a gloss for my cousin and found out that the Bridgestone one was like 20€, double the price of their regular glosses

I don't think we have never had Natura in Australia, but we did have Avon for over 50 years, so we know it well haha. I remember looking through the catalogues that were left at our doorstep, even as an adult! It closed down just before the pandemic because no one was buying from it anymore, so it might be popular in some places but it is exiting a lot of countries ❤

@@BEAUTYNEWS Yes, absolutely. I confess I'm a regular consumer of both. My aunt has been selling AVON since I can remember so I can't help it 🤣. And I gotta tell you, most of their makeup actually works 👍🏻, jaja.

Avon was still paying my grandma's pension up until she died this last Christmas, 30 years after she retired. I think they're doing ok.

I'm in southern California.

I visited Brazil 13 years ago and stepped into Natura in Sao Paulo out of curiosity. We were backpacking and could not afford much. The sales associates probably could tell but still gave us their time. Customer service was excellent.

Nobody.

His stuff should be 1/4 the price it is now. It is all made in China.

Nobody. But I have to admit that I was tempted to buy an eyeshadow palette from him because he really nailed my taste but they are grotesquely overprized. Even Tati can't convince me otherwise.

Couldn’t agree more!

Their best selling products are boring, old releases of things that people need to buy more of pretty often, like brow products and mascara. It's smart, kind of refreshing tbh. I wish more brands would lean into their classic products. I'm so tired of brands discontinuing holy grail products to make way for the constant churn of new releases tbh

The Roller Lash mascara is really good. One of the few mascaras that actually does anything to my short, straight lashes. They even have vending machines in some airports. It's really convenient if you're travelling and you realized you forgot to bring something.

I remember seeing body shops giving out such deep discounts even 10 years or more ago - when lots of people still went to malls - and I did see different sales at different stores,- then malls became empty and I saw deep discounts online and got email every day about more and more discounts - I’ve been confused about how in the world they made money for over a decade really! Well, it was good of that manager to give you sound advice … maybe he knew something more than most

@@vwiccy yeah, thats the first reason why I was interested to work in Body Shop, because of the discounts, it just made me think that they are trying to make their product affordable (because Indonesia is 3rd world country and even tho body shop price is not "expensive" on other countries, in here it is pretty expensive). And back then, they usually have a lot more sales for products that are not new, or simple products on their line like balms, hand sanitizer, body lotion, etc. And things like skincare, makeup, tools, and perfume were never have big discounts or if they were discounted, it came in a pack so we cant just buy one, or you can get deals on your birthday. These days, I even see their tea tree oil get 30% discount, which is considered a cult classic item and were never discounted over 10% before. Thats wild to me.

I still keep Sweet Honesty in my perfume collection! It’s a gorgeous fragrance. I also buy giant bottles of skin so soft body wash, it makes my skin velvety 😅

I buy Avon directly online. I still use their skin so soft line and the sweet honesty perfume.

Yes, they got rid of all their affordable products and went for a load of SPA style products in the black packaging ( face masks). They discontinued the honey range, which was my favourite, especially the lip balm in a pot.

I remember buying ice blue shampoo, the clear mandarin soap and the blue corn mask 😂 loved them all and all were discontinued 😢

Yes. I was a young adult in the 90’s and having the money to buy a body shop product from time to time was so luxurious for me. Same with Crabtree and Evelyn, their stores smelled DIVINE

From her updates it sounds like it is wrapping up, and she clearly has an indication of how it will go if she's planning on the brand return.

He keeps suing her in different states.

Tati just loads up thumbnails of potential palettes for attention along with a "poor me" diatribe.

He was suing her in 3 states, it was all moved to Nevada under 1 judge. Tati has probably a lot of plans after it all resolves, but my guess is that they need to wait for the trial to start anything. I can't imagine how frustrating ig must have been when they were ready for the trial in March and suddenly it was moved to August.

Yep! We fucked up! I blame filming at 10pm haha

The foundation is holy grail. Never had a more perfect match with no irritation

Yeah, I made the mistake of buying a kiko eyeshadow palette and it was just so bad. No pigmentation, I threw it out.

Same in Finland

They absolutely had premium brands in the 80’s, but you had to go buy them at department stores. Clinique and Lancôme were huge in the 80’s for both skincare and makeup.

Oh my gosh, why is every product pulling out of Sephora in Canada???

@@Ryanneeythey’re replacing good brands with their own scammy in-house brands.

East coast, too.

Damn, didn’t realise they pulled out. I would have got another lot of the thin perfume tubes as I like quite a few of them and I’m not allergic to any which is a miracle. I have to be super careful with perfumes and was surprised all were fine. They were fun scents.

@@watson483 Yeah I liked their perfume too. You can still buy from their website.

When I worked at Body Shop that shave cream was my holy grail for shaving my legs! Can't justify the price any more without my discount but it is really good!

I bought the Robert Welsh/Ciaté box, love Everything in it except the mascara, it's okay but not outstanding. The highlighter stick is great on my Victorian ghost complexion, probably too subtle for a lot of people. The eyeshadow palette is the neutral I use most often.

I just bought Vol 3 last year because I needed colors for Pride. It’s very very good quality and useful because none of my other palettes are so bright. So many of the ABH palettes are mostly neutral with just one or two brights if any

ABH has had a PR hit from their founder’s political posts.

I still have the shadows from my prism palette but I deconstructed the pans into a magnetic custom palette from Amazon because I didn't want to rep the ABH Branding anymore after the owner was caught liking photos of Putin on Instagram... Right as there's war in Ukraine. Like wtf...

@@Iquey Oh damn this is the first I'm hearing of that - also such a weird way to show support like ???

I stopped buying from ABH last year when it came to light that the founder is a Putin, Trump and extreme right wing supporter. I don’t support those companies, NudeSticks and Ofra are other trump supporters.
