EDiTORiAL THE CHANGING FACE OF MEDIA We are so happy to be back once again at the Breakers in Palm Beach for the Personal Care Products Council annual meeting. While it is nice to change things up, The Breakers is eminently manageable as is Palm Beach—and both are very accessible—thank God for small favors. It is of great interest to me to see how the media landscape continues to evolve with more social media and online participants. We are, in my opinion, nearing the tipping point. One does not need to be a rocket scientist to see how things have changed for us in the media, as well as for our clients. One need only experience the Monday morning Super Bowl commercial hangover to see the dearth in creativity and wonder where it has gone. Perhaps playing it safe is the new norm. Since we in the beauty business are seen at the cutting-edge of product ad creative, perhaps we need to drill down further on how to keep the creative message fresh and robust as we adapt to the brave new media.

Kate Somerville Skin Care’s Michelle Taylor and Kate Somerville (r.) with Bergdorf Goodman’s Pat Saxby
Kate Somerville and her team of executives from Kate Somerville Skin Care arrived at New York City’s Bergdorf Goodman recently for the launch of the brand on the retailer’s beauty floor. Michelle Taylor, Chief Executive Officer of Kate Somerville Skin Care, expressed the importance of the brand’s availability at Bergdorf Goodman. “We had not developed a presence for Kate Somerville Skin Care in the New York metro area. Our partnership with Bergdorf Goodman completes our strategy of awareness in the northeast US for Kate Somerville Skin Care.” The entire Kate Somerville Skin Care line is available at Bergdorf Goodman, as well as Kateceuticals, which is exclusive to this retailer and at all Neiman Marcus stores. “Bergdorf Goodman now joins with Neiman Marcus, which is an amazing partner,” Ms. Taylor affirmed. Elizabeth Secrest, Bergdorf Goodman’s Beauty Buyer, shared that Kate Somerville Skin Care is “a California-based brand with an A-list Los Angeles following. We believe Kate Somerville has amazing, trend-setting products, and our job is to bring the best of the best to Bergdorf Goodman.” “We try to figure out what the Bergdorf Goodman customer is looking for and add that to the mix,” Ms. Secrest continued. “Kate’s brand is niche at an aspirational price point. It is targeted to young professionals and complements our fifth floor contemporary fashion department.” Ms. Somerville made a personal appearance at the gala champagne reception for the Kate Somerville Skin Care collection. It attracted many new customers, as well as Ms. Somerville’s devoted fans, creating Ms. Saxby with Bergdorf Goodman’s Felicia Walker-Benson, the store’s new excitement on the beauty floor. “It’s important to meet the face behind a brand,” explained Bergdorf Social Media Editor Goodman’s Pat Saxby, Vice President/DMM Cosmetics. “A personal appearance by that beauty authority is good exposure for the Interview with PZ Cussons’ brand, and a PA on Maggie Ciafardini any floor is good for the entire store.” Maggie Ciafardini “Customers love to Napoleon Perdis launches ask questions of a at Neiman Marcus and beauty authority to Bergdorf Goodman learn about the technology that drives a Napoleon Perdis at Neiman Marcus brand,” Ms. Saxby noted. “They expect that A Walk On The Line Side Bergdorf Goodman With Amore Pacific’s carries the best of the Bradley Horowitz Ms. Somerville and Ms. Taylor (r.) join Bergdorf Amore Pacific’s best.” BF Goodman’s Tracy Margolies at the new Kate Somerville

GURWITCH PRODUCTS
G
urwitch Products’ Claudia Poccia, President and Chief Executive Officer, invited Beauty Fashion to tour retailers in New York City where the company’s brands, Laura Mercier and RéVive, are distributed. The Laura Mercier brand is at Bloomingdale’s, Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue, Lord & Taylor, Henri Bendel and Sephora. RéVive is in Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue and Barneys New York. When Ms. Poccia arrived at Gurwitch Products over two years ago, her objective was to build a portfolio of prestige beauty businesses across all categories. Her intent was to make sure everything that touches the consumer—the brand experience, point-of-sale, the products and their presentation—remain “very much grounded in their original concept.” Ms. Poccia states, “In order to achieve those objectives, I had to focus on building the right infrastructure that would take us from an entrepreneurial operating model, to one that can support a business of scale which can expand into other markets and continue to support the business as it grows” “Laura Mercier, our flagship brand, is grounded in the artisanal perspective, since Laura Mercier is both an Artist and a Makeup Artist. Dr. Gregory Brown, the founder of RéVive, is a Plastic Surgeon, so that brand is grounded in science and the efficacy of the products on the skin. Everything we do at Gurwitch Products must be faithful to each of these founders’ points of view.” Ms. Poccia believes that the “retail counter is the soul of these brands. The people who touch the consumer are our brand ambassadors. They must feel absolutely connected to their brands to make sure they bring them to life for the customer.” Before she joined Gurwitch Products, Ms. Poccia became a “secret shopper,” visiting 25 Laura Mercier counters in different countries around the world. “At each point-of-sale, the Artist saw me through a different lens in a different look from classic to edgier. They were not cookie-cutter experiences for me, and I determined that this was the heart of what the Laura Mercier brand is all about. Laura always says, ‘What makes you unique makes you beautiful.’”
It is Gurwitch Products’ Chief Marketing Officer Ellen Greenwald’s mission to interpret each brand’s message for the consumer. “For the Laura Mercier brand, it is most important to have a visual message at-counter that represents a color collection so it is easy for the customer to be drawn in. She must understand our message at that moment to be engaged.” Ms. Greenwald interprets Ms. Mercier’s vision and how she sees color trends in each collection. “We do four collections a year and some newness for the Flawless Face each year. We sometimes offer special collections for each of our retail partners as well.” For RéVive, she explains, “the message must be very clean visually when a customer visits the counter. The messaging for the collection of products must be clear and concise to help the customer decide what is right for her. Of course, we do have a person at the counter to help her.” Ms. Poccia declared that the sales team under the direction of Dee Dee Parks, Senior Vice President of Sales for Laura Mercier and RéVive, has maintained the heritage of each brand. “Dee Dee has consistently grown the Laura Mercier business high double digits. On RéVive, Dee Dee had the foresight to establish a sales organization that could elevate the brand and effectively communicate the brand’s distinct point of difference. RéVive is running strong high single digits.” Ms. Poccia and her team determined what experience the consumer is looking for in each of their retail partners and then collaborated with those retailers to strategize how to interpret Laura Mercier’s and RéVive’s messages in-store. “We don’t consider our retail partners as distribution channels, but rather as co-branding partners. Some retailers are right for one brand but not for the other, or some are right for both. At the heart of our company is the consumer and how we can build a relationship between them and our Artists and Estheticians at-counter.” Globally, Laura Mercier is in about 1,400 doors, and RéVive is in 300 doors. “The Founders of the brands are very involved,” she

continued. “Mark [Gearing, Vice President Sales at RéVive] and Ellen collaborate with Dr. Brown on how to communicate the brand’s message and positioning so the science is not intimidating to the customer. Greg is a Plastic Surgeon, but he is also an Artist and a Sculptor who sees art from a linear, scientific point of view, as well as through an artist’s lens.” “Laura is first and foremost an Artist, so she comes to her brand from a conceptual ideation. Ellen spends a lot of time with Laura, Bob Luzzi and me to brainstorm for upcoming collections that are planned 18 to 24 months in advance.” Ms. Poccia shared, “Laura adores Dee Dee and is so proud of how she has evolved with the brand.” Ms. Parks divulged that she joined Laura Mercier in 1996 as one of the first employees. “In the field, there are a lot of people that have been around since the beginning. It has been exciting for us to watch the brand’s progression, and we want to part of Claudia’s vision for the future.”

“We opened Lord & Taylor in the fall of 2009,” informed Laura Mercier’s Joanne Chase, Vice President Sales East. “It brought us a customer from Midtown Manhattan, which has meant great business for us. Lord & Taylor is a wonderful partner and has been so supportive of our business.” “Each retailer has its point of view, and at Lord & Taylor,” Ms. Chase explained, “we focus on our foundation category. We have a great team here, and our business is on fire.” Ms. Parks agreed, adding that the Artists “make the magic happen every single day. I am incredibly proud of this team and grateful for the support they receive from Lord & Taylor’s management.” Lord & Taylor’s Cosmetics Buyer, Sally Shaw reported, “Our Partnership with Laura Mercier is terrific. It’s one of the best partnerships we have. It is a delight to work with everyone at Laura Mercier.” “When it came time to open the counter,” Ms. Chase noted, “we worked with the Lord & Taylor team led by Barbara Zinn-Moore to pick the best location. We got the perfect spot right in the middle of the floor on the main aisle.” She complimented the Business Manager Ismael Ortiz “who is picking up rank every day.” At Lord and Taylor, Account Executive Christine Labo also praised Mr. Ortiz who “is always focused on what he needs to do to make the numbers. There is a healthy amount of competition at the counter, as well as a healthy love of service and of selling. Ismael’s team considers the Laura Mercier counter as part of their family, and that is communicated to the customer.” “It is critical to make sure that Laura’s message is being cascaded through the organization,” Ms. Parks expressed. “We achieve that through our amazing Education Department, led by Jeffrey Tasker and Thomas Charles. The strategy is to train and develop all of our artists on Laura’s philosophy.” “We have an incredible field force, many of whom have been with the brand since the beginning. They have an amazing passion and dedication to Laura Mercier, and that energy transfers to the teams at the counters. That is where the passion is, and where the magic happens.” Ms. Parks gives credit to Laura Mercier for helping to establish that culture. “Laura spent many years in the stores doing personal appearances, so she knows a lot of our Makeup Artists at the counter. This creates an authentic love for the brand, which the Artists communicate to their customers.” “It is important that the Laura Mercier experience atcounter is consistent around the world,” Ms. Poccia affirmed. “The basic tenets of the brand must be communicated consistently on a global level, taking into consid16

eration local market and cultural nuances. This year, Laura will be spending a great amount of time in the US with all of the Trainers and Artists to make sure we are crisp, consistent and are on-point while maintaining the creative artistry.” “Laura rarely comments on color,” advises Ms. Parks. “Instead, she focuses on the skin and making sure that the foundation looks as natural and flawless as possible. She empowers the Artists to create their own looks, based on the guidelines she has given them. The look depends on what each Artist sees in a woman to bring out her inner beauty.” She informs that Ms. Mercier likes to visit counters, have breakfasts with the teams and share her sources of inspiration for her products. “That gives the Makeup Artists the opportunity to quote Laura’s ideas to their clients.” “Laura is a smart businesswoman,” Ms. Poccia shared. “But her passion is artistry, the people and the team. That makes a huge point of difference for the brand. For Laura, it isn’t about making sales; it’s about making the customer happy, so that the sale happens naturally.”

Ms. Parks declares that “Sephora has been an incredible partner to Laura Mercier. We were one of the first beauty prestige brands to join Sephora eight years ago, and they have been so supportive. You can see by our space that they have taken good care of us. We call it ‘Hollywood and Vine.’ It’s right in the middle of the store and positioned near the Makeup Studio where we can take our products and apply makeup to a customer.” “We have a separate national field force that is specific to Sephora,” she noted. “Laura Mercier’s Account Executive for the East Coast, Stephanie DeNicola and Heidi Romano, Laura Mercier’s Account Manager for Metro New York are key to our business with Sephora in New York City, which is running double-digit increases. They oversee all of the stores, train the Cast Members and execute special events.” Ms. DeNicola maintains the secret to their success is first, to “make sure we have fun. We always bring Laura Mercier to life at our gondolas and in our education. We never forget our roots and always refer to the ‘Flawless Face,’ no matter what we are presenting that is new and exciting.” Ms. Romano credits the great space and locations for Laura Mercier at Sephora with business that is based on excellent education of the Cast Members. “Having been with Laura Mercier for six years, the Cast Members know me, and I love to share my passion for the brand with all of them.”

How To Maximize Sustainability While Driving Profitability Can environmentally responsible practices be compatible with the bottom line? Beauty Fashion asked leading executives on the supply side to comment on how they are following eco-friendly production methods and practicing sustainability while maintaining cost-effectiveness. Jill Belasco President and CEO CoScentrix Demand for sustainable components has started to bring pricing down in some categories, even overseas. At CoScentrix, we set up our new facility for eco-friendly manufacturing, knowing that it could add costs. However, we’ve found that by careful sourcing and strict management of our labor force, we’ve been able to keep our costs steady and have not had to raise prices for most of our clients.
Dr. Ferdinand Storp General Manager drom Fragrances The green movement began in Germany in the late 1970s. A lot of the current ecofriendly sustainability trends have therefore been transformed into regulatory norms and laws years ago— regulations which are stricter than in most other countries. Sustainability is not a fashionable option; it´s the law. And Germans tend to like rules and, on top of that, we follow them.
Christoph Gerberding President and Chief Executive Officer Fragrance Resources Fragrance Resources’ manufacturing practices are committed to the
environment. We are “Green” Certified and receive Renewable Energy Certificates based on our electricity usage. Our UV lighting is Energy Efficient Fluorescent and our fuel oil is Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel. We use no H20 in our manufacturing, and redistilled isopropyl alcohol cleans our tanks. The result..a better world for us all.
Cosimo Policastro Executive Vice President Fine Fragrances Givaudan We believe it is our responsibility to produce the fragrances we make each year without compromising the environment, health and well-being of our employees, or the communities in which we operate. We take a strategic approach and have identified four main drivers toward ecoefficiency. These drivers are: 1.) Including eco-efficiency information as part of our capital expenditure, 2.) Applying green chemistry principles, 3.) Utilizing experts to audit our largest sites to optimize use of utilities and 4.) Implementing an energy procurement strategy. As our sustainability program matures, we are moving away from simple collaboration with our customers on product-related projects to a much more comprehensive twoway dialogue regarding sustainability topics. These initiatives have resulted in tangible improvements to our production processes and, while our sustainability program is ambitious, we will continue to make the necesF EB R U A RY 2 0 1 3 /

Christophe de Villeplée, VP Global Fine Fragrances and Beauty Care International Flavors & Fragrances We operate in a world of threatened natural resources and growing regulations. To assure continued business success, we must operate more efficiently. Examples include upgrading the electrical power factor on motors at our Holland facility and a heat recovery project in our Florida facility, reducing natural gas costs and shrinking our carbon footprint.
Michel Mane President Mane Americas The sustainable and responsible management of value chains require that all stakeholders involved work together to implement tools to optimize the ethical sourcing of our raw materials and the design and manufacturing processes of our products.

“If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” asked the 19th-century poet, Percy Bysshe Shelley. For Shiseido, spring is right here, right now. In celebration of the forthcoming season of renewal, the company is introducing a plethora of products to warm consumers through this winter’s deep chill. The Rejuvenated Eye First out of the gate is Shiseido’s Bio-Performance Super Corrective Eye Cream. The company determined that the characteristic most closely associated with youth is the firmness and delineation of the weakest link in the aging chain—the delicate eye area. Their new eye cream builds elasticity from within by elevating hyaluronic acid production in all three layers of the skin, providing a lifting effect, diminishing wrinkles and reducing dark circles. It accomplishes this by the use of a Triple-Layer Hyaluronic Acid Supply System, which penetrates the skin, resulting in resilience, elasticity and defined contours. It provides a noticeable change in just one day and considerable improvement after three weeks of twice-aday applications. The Triple-Layer HyalBio-Performance uronic Acid Supply System Super Corrective comprises a trio of eleEye Cream ments: the new Bio-Defining Complex that increases the epidermal production of hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin with a combination of Shiseido’s exclusive Super Bio-Yeast Extract, Vitamin A Acetate and Rosemary Extract; Super Bio-Moisture Network N that moisturizes for up to 24 hours; and Vitamins C and E that improve poor microcirculation and combat dark circles. Bio-Performance Super Corrective Eye Cream is priced at $60.00 for 1.5 oz.
Perfecting The Pout The makeup side of Shiseido’s 2013 spring launches includes Perfect Rouge, which contains Red Illuminating Pearl that delivers vivid pigment and reflects light for a lustrous finish and a plumped-up look.

ESTÉE LAUDER YOUTH-DEW TURNS 60

n 1953, Estée Lauder introduced Youth-Dew and the rest is history. Its revolutionary changes continue to resonate today. Often described as one of the sexiest fragrances ever created, this provocative Oriental fragrance was a true departure from the juices of the day. It influenced how Perfumers created their fragrances and altered how women perceived scent.
The Estée Lauder Youth-Dew 60th Anniversary Limited Edition
who created a fragrance with worldwide impact, Mrs. Lauder set out to convince women to think about fragrance in a completely different way. She provided them with the perceived permission to not only buy fragrance for themselves but to use it lavishly. The development of Youth-Dew began with a scent that Mrs. Lauder’s mother kept in their home for years. Originally created by her uncle for a Russian princess, Mrs. Lauder purchased essences to rework the fragrance until it matched her vision. After months of experimenting, she was thrilled with the outcome and also discovered that Youth-Dew’s sweet, warm, diffusive scent easily intermingled with flesh and water,
Mrs. Estée Lauder revolutionized the way American women thought about fragrance.
“I created Youth-Dew as the first bath oil to double as a skin perfume,” stated Mrs. Estée Lauder. “I knew that would appeal to women. And it suits my ‘philosophy’ of fragrance, as well: magnificent scents should not be doled out stingily, but like love, be given abundantly.” Sixty years later, Youth-Dew continues to entice and attract with its sensuous yet timeless appeal. “Youth-Dew is as relevant to women today as it was when it was first introduced,” stated Karyn Khoury, Senior Vice President, Corporate Fragrance Development Worldwide at The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. “A thoroughly modern fragrance that was ahead of its time, it was sexy when it was introduced, and it is sexy now.” As Mrs. Estée Lauder herself used to say, “It is Youth-Dew’s unabashedly sensuous aura that made it an international favorite. After all, women still like to feel beautiful, pampered and loved. And that’s what Youth-Dew is all about.” At the time Youth-Dew was conceived, fragrance was only given to a woman as a gift and reserved exclusively for special occasions. Many women waited for a loved one to present them with a bottle of perfume and once received, these bottles were displayed proudly. As a visionary ahead of her time, and an American woman F EB R U A RY 2 0 1 3 /

making it the first American bath oil to double as a skin perfume. Youth-Dew was positioned as such a product, making it acceptable for women to choose and purchase their own fragrance, since bath oils were widely viewed as a personal, feminine product. “The American woman of that time was just catching on to the long-time European passion for body care baths, lotions and oils,” Mrs. Lauder reflected. “So creating a bath oil that could double as a perfume seemed a likely way to start American women on a guiltless journey to their own fragrance-buying adventure.” Mrs. Lauder also innovated Youth-Dew’s iconic bottle by not sealing its cap. She understood that, if unsealed, women could more easily unscrew the cap while browsing and shopping. A woman would open a bottle to smell the fragrance and automatically Youth-Dew’s enticing essence was left on her hands. Even after leaving the counter, the captivating scent of Youth-Dew would follow and ultimately lead her back for more. To celebrate Youth-Dew’s 60 th anniversary and its enduring influence on women everywhere, this spring Estée Lauder will introduce a new, Youth-Dew 60th Anniversary Limited Edition Bottle featuring a luxurious crystal-encrusted, golden metalized bow for a touch of elegance. The bottle will be packaged in a golden carton that complements and conveys the luxurious and brilliant allure of the fragrance. Youth-Dew’s juice is a blend of floral notes. It opens on a top note of Bulgarian rose, jonquil, lavender blossoms, chamomile flowers and bergamot. Its heart of jasmine, muguet, ylang ylang and carnation blends to a base of patchouli, vetiver, sandalwood, incense, amber and musk.

ging is not for the faint of heart, as Bette Davis once said. And if there is one thing Clarins has taken to heart, it is the matter of aging with its Double Serum Complete Age Control Concentrate. The French company has tackled the problem with a new scientific breakthough powered by 20 pure plant extracts and potent high-tech molecules. Double Serum’s anti-aging treatment reactivates five vital functions that ensure the skin’s youth and beauty, and is solidly based on their 27-year expertise dealing with the ravages of time. It contains not one, but two agedefying formulas in one serum. It has proven effective for all skin types, all ages and all ethnicities. Double Serum’s performance is made possible by a feat of technology, thanks to the [Hydric + Lipidic System]. The two separate phases are delivered via side-by-side chambers, each with a separate pump dispenser. This enables the normally incompatible combination of water- and oil-soluble ingredients with no risk of instability and without the use of emulsifiers. The result is a formula that guarantees optimal absorption, mimicking the skin’s natural composition of oil and water. In order to maintain the stability and the potency of the ingredients, the two pump dispensers ensure that the ideally-balanced ratios of the two formulas are mixed only on application to the skin. Double Serum reactivates the skin’s five natural functions—hydration,

nutrition, oxygenation, protection and regeneration—thanks to an extensive lineup of ingredients. To boost hydration, thereby delaying the appearance of wrinkles and maintaining the skin’s softness, the ingredients are burdock, marshmallow, katafray, PCaNa and double hyaluronic acid. To restore the skin’s suppleness, its cells need nutrients that include carbohydrates, lipids and proteins. Double Serum promotes cell nutrition with macadamia, kiwi and perilla. Just as important as nutrients, oxygen is essential to the production of energy by the cells. This is accomplished by musk rose, maritime pine and arnica. Overproduction of free radicals, generated by age and environmental damage, undermine basic cell structures. In order to protect against premature skin aging, the counteractive ingredients are pistachio, green tea, quinoa, oxydendron and Vitamin E. As of the age of 25, mostly because of environmental stresses, the renewal of the key components of the dermis slows down. Double Serum steps in to increase the production of collagen and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), responsible for the skin’s firmness and density. Its regeneration is aided and abetted by eight more ingredients: green banana, lemon thyme, oats, bocoa, Survixyl IS, phytosphingosine, hops and avocado. Double Serum will be available this month at Clarins counters nationwide and at clarins.com for $85.00. BF

Even on their days off, they call in to see how business went that day.” RéVive’s Esthetician-in-residence, Yelena Lerman, tries to win new customers to the brand. “When I introduce myself as an Esthetician, it makes me appear more professional to the customers because I can show my knowledge of the skin.” “Wherever our business is good, it is because of the team’s relationship with one another, the department, the store [management], our field organization and, of course, our clients,” Ms. Parks commented.

very nice events where they use a chalk board to [draw] the look, as well as use a face chart that Laura created. We do different looks for different environments. What might be classic at Neiman’s is more edgy at Bendel’s.” The Laura Mercier makeup has a certain je-ne-saisquoi style, according to Ms. Poccia. “Ellen collaborates with Laura on the product pipeline, but then edits what might resonate for editorial coverage and what works for our customers.” Ms. Chase profiles the Bendel customer as always looking for what is new. “They look for trends and what is edgy. When the new collections come in, we sell them out.” She highlights the Laura Mercier skincare bar for special consultations and mini-facials, after which the customers leave with a little spa kit. Ms. Mercier’s concept is about balancing the complexion and preparing the canvas for a perfect makeup application. Laura Mercier’s Makeup Artist, Jerry Johnson, has been with the Laura Mercier brand since the beginning of 2012. He believes it is a trend-setting makeup line that is all about having products that are much in demand with the makeup-savvy Bendel clients. “I consider three points when working with a client— business perspective, social perspective and lifestyle perspective. If I can marry those three together, the rest happens.”
Ms. Poccia is welcomed by Henri Bendel’s Paula Reigelman, Kim Murphy (r.) and Laura Mercier’s Leslie Bethel.

“Laura Mercier’s counter at Bloomingdale’s 59th Street is #2 globally behind Selfridges in London,” she declared, “and we are so excited about that. Their goal is to be the #1 door globally. That has set up a little bit of competition.”
The successful Laura Mercier team at Bloomingdale’s 59th Street is led by Business Manager Soo Yeon Kim, who motivates by communicating and celebrating all of the key points of the brand. “People want information, so we give as much as we can. Then, when success happens, we celebrate together,” Ms. Kim explained. “I am very passionate about the products and my team. They give me energy.” Bloomingdale’s DMM Cosmetics, Laura Saio, commented, “Laura Mercier has a very special partnership with the store. We are so proud of their counter with the new colors, treatment and the new dramming bar for foundation, as well as the progress the team is making here at Bloomingdale’s 59th Street. The team has gone above and beyond in service and building relationships. They are creating an empire here.” Laura Mercier’s Katty Serrano, Ms. Chase, Michele Graham, Ms. Williams, Ms. Poccia, “We have a Foundation Bar program that Ms. Kim, Lisette Cruz, Michelle Talavera and Ms. Spielkamp is exclusively at Bloomingdale’s. This innovative dramming program allows us to dram any type of foundation in any shade for our customers,” Ms. Chase noted. “We build events around it by filling up little samples of foundation, which is a five-day supply for customers.” “We wanted to do something at Bloomingdale’s that differentiates our foundations, so dramming is a great way to get the customer’s exact shade and also to provide samples. It separates us [from the other brands] at Bloomingdale’s, as well as introduces our clients to customization, and it’s working.” th Bloomingdale’s Laura Saio (4 r.) with Ms. Graham, Ms. Kim, Ms. Serrano, Ms. Chase, Ms. Williams, Ms. Parks and Ms. Poccia

I don’t push; I just tell the truth. My customers have good experiences, so they tell their friends about me and recommend that they come in to see me at Barneys New York.” She credits Tom Viola, RéVive’s Account Executive for the Northeast, with helping her achieve success.

We do monthly facials for our clients, and we have an Esthetician who rotates the Northeast and is at this Barneys location every other month.” He maintains that training is important for the RéVive line, and “our people at-counter must know how to sell it.

SUPPLY-SIDE ECONOMICS (continued from page 25)
Andrew Burrett Vice President Strategy & Marketing MWV Beauty & Personal Care MWV’s commitment to sustainable packaging spans our operations in 30 countries around the world. MWV sources all materials responsibly to create packaging solutions that protect products, provide convenience and speak to the consumer. At MWV, we maximize overall sustainability across the supply chain while maintaining cost-effectiveness and consumer satisfaction.
Christophe Maubert President Fine Fragrances Division Robertet Robertet follows eco-friendly and sustainable practices and has been doing so for over 160 years—it’s in our DNA. Good practices help explain our leading position in Naturals and also in Organic ingredients with our recent acquisition of SAPAD. Our relationships with farmers and producers go back five generations, allowing us to be highly competitive on costs and affordable for most projects.
Shéhérazade Chamlou Vice President Sales + Marketing SGD North America SGD confirms its commitment to respect the environment by identifying opportunities to reduce total cost and environmental impact from material selection to optimizing
product processes, developing waste and recycling programs in operations. SGD’s Infinite Glass, the first and only recyclable glass for perfumery and cosmetics, is made of 100% post-consumer recycled cullet. Infinite Glass is a good example of sustainable packaging, which results in savings of raw materials and energy, while reducing harmful emissions to the environment.
Xavier Adnet Vice President Sales and Marketing Stoelzle Glass USA, Inc. Stoelzle have heavily invested in new filters to reduce air pollution by filtering waste gas dust from the furnace and by employing Low NOX Combustion Technology. We have been increasing the use of recycled cullet for the production of colored glass, so we use less energy and raw material in the furnace when we run the glass. We have also been working on standardizing the packing in order to optimize the use of cardboard. As regards the decoration, we have invested in state-of-the-art spray line using UV curing—less energy and more efficient—and radiant energy.
Rhona Stokols Vice President, North America Fine Fragrance Sales Symrise Scent & Care Division At Symrise, sustainability is not an “initiative” but a “must do” because the challenges we face in terms of limited resources, climate change and population growth are too pressing to ignore. Besides continuously reviewing the entire value chain of our raw materials, we also focus on process redesign through green

chemistry. This investment allows us to eliminate by-products, increase raw-material efficiency and establish a lower environmental footprint. In fact, we recently won the Most Sustainable Initiative award for our procurement of vanilla in Madagascar.
Frederic Jacques Vice President Fine Fragrance Takasago Takasago: taking action for the environment. Protecting the environment is an integral part of Japanese culture. For the Japanese, the relationship with nature is essential. For example, the traditional custom known as hanami, which consists in admiring the beauty of flowers, mainly cherry flowers (sakura), is still honored in Japan today. Besides the historical references to the samurais, this custom is for many Japanese people an occasion to enjoy the landscape. It therefore comes as no surprise that very early on, Takasago drew up policies to reduce its impact on the environment, from the procurement of raw materials to waste disposal. In 2009, the group embarked on an ambitious plan known as EHS 100. This 12-year plan aims to make significant reductions in CO2 emissions in water and energy consumption. Under the terms of the plan, we are bound to recycle our packaging and all of our waste. In 2020, the Group will celebrate its centenary and reap the fruits of this 12-year plan. Takasago also has a strong presence in a number of professional bodies that regulate our industry. Their main objectives are to ensure consumer safety and to protect the environment. The eco-friendliness, together with social responsibility, are principles which are deeply anchored in our DNA. BF

Eye Candy
Facing Forward This spring also ushers in two new shades of Shiseido’s Luminizing Satin Face Color. Created by Artistic Director Dick Page, Medusa (illuminates by a delicate bluish tint) and Starfish (fresh and sun-kissed) are additions to the six existing shades. Their textures spread easily and allow for a silky-smooth and soft feel on the skin. Four elements are essential to the Lacquer Rouge blushes: Satin Smooth Pearl in Amethyst for a smooth finish; Micromatic Color Pigment to calibrate the shade and the customization of color intensity; Super Hydro-Wrap Vitalizing DE for lasting moisture; and Dual Optimizing Powder for true color and a natural sheen on the cheek. As Mr. Page put it: “Blush is a vitality booster.” They are priced at $30.00 each.
I n s p i r e d b y M r. Page’s travels, Shiseido’s Luminizing Satin Eye Color Trio has two new additions: Beach Grass (cream, bronze and deep mauve derived from shades of beach grass near an old island fort in South Carolina) and Pink Sands (pink, greybrown and peach elicLuminizing Satin Eye Color Trio ited by sand dunes seen at sunset). These tricolor combos join 10 existing combinations, all incorporating the same ingredients as the Luminizing Satin Face Color blushes, providing a smooth finish, bright, translucent colors, all-day moisture and a natural sheen to the lids. Luminizing Satin Eye Color Trio’s new shades are available at $33.00 each. All the products mentioned above are available this month at retailers nationwide and at www.shiseido.com. BF
