shu uemura leaving the US

[Swanky]

so I need to get eyelashes? They're better than MAC's?
I'm good for cleansing oil for a year.

I'm not really surprised. Their things are amazing but their market here is so small. They're too pricey for a lot of people and not as well know as say, MAC. At least their keeping their haircare

This is so sad.. I love their glosses so much.
Hopefully they stay in Canada.. :cry:

Holt Renfrew just started to open Shu Uemura counters.

i prefer shu to mac. they have a lot of interesting ones too, for special occassions or bold looks. and their adhesive is great.

i've never really seen them in US stores..... they're absolutely whenever i go to Asia. i prefer to buy things in boutiques there whenever i go there so i can try things out.

I love Shu ! Mac is okay but I find the colours more dramatic than what I am looking for. Hopefully they stay in Canada.

As for the location in New York City , the store in Soho closed three years ago so you can only buy Shu in the department stores.
I read that they could start closing down in a few months so at least that gives us time to stock up. I love the cleansing oils too!

This really sucks. Time to stock up.

Absolutely. It's my staple albeit they cost more but it's worth every penny. Love their adhesive too and their lippy, cleansing oil and their makeup. Bee using this brand forever. I love their simple and clean packaging too.

There's a standalone Shu store on Newbury St. in Boston.

I love their lashes, smokey layers are my absolute fave.

 

[miamialli]

crap. that is the ONLY brand of eyelash curler that I use. and I go through 3 a year---do i need to buy like a zillion of them now?

 

[impasto]

Does this mean they will leave the sephora website as well? This stinks. I LOVE their eyelash curlers.

I don't understand the logic in this. If they were opening up new consessions in stores then surely the brand is still profitable.

Going forward, we decided that L’Oreal USA would be better served by focusing on our other strategic luxury brands like Lancôme, Yves Saint Laurent, Giorgio Armani, Ralph Lauren, Kiehl’s, and fragrances,” president of L’Oreal USA’s luxury division, Carol Hamilton said in a statement

Do they presume that people will gravitate to their other brands or do they just not care about where the current consumers go?

3 curlers a year? They should last way longer. . . can't you buy new pads instead?
