Bye bye to Prescriptives!?

Boots · Gucci

I hadn't heard, but can't say I'm surprised. You never read about them in magazines. I don't think I've ever even tested a Prescriptive product let alone bought one. Estee Lauder didn't really do much to get the word out on their items.

I think I've only ever bought 2 Prescriptives items (moisturizer and a mascara), but I liked their products.

A little different, but Max Factor will no longer be sold in the U.S. as of January, IIRC.

XtinaStyles · Marc Jacobs

I read about it a while back. I am not surprised. They didn't really have much of a BRAND, their main claim to fame was the personalized colors for concealers and foundation, alot of which got bad reviews from what Ive read. I have a bronzer and a brush from them, they both worked just fine. I think it was more an advertising/imageing/marketing issue more than anything.
