Smashbox Cosmetics is being purchased by the Makeup Cosmetics Guru Estee Lauder. 

It’s about time that someone bought Smashbox, they products have been really poor in the last few years, no thanks to being on QVC and the Factor grandsons wanting more money thus using poor ingredients that fell apart.  Estee Lauder as well a Loreal are two of the top Global cosmetics corporations owning more cosmetics, makeup, and skin care brands than other global makeup brands.

MAC Cosmetics is also owned by Estee Lauder.

You all heard about Shu Uemura and Loreal pulling the plug on their US operations.  Sad but true, no more Shu Uemura in the US, as a matter of fact, rumor has it that the failing makeup brand is up for grabs, but then who knows what goes on in the corporate Loreal world.  We saw Bare Minerals and Leslie sell out after their messed up, lied to consumers repeatedly, had sweat shops for labor and so on.  It’s not uncommon for any cosmetic brand to purchase from overseas, it’s just sad.  We like made in the USA products

GO SMILE Advanced Formula B1 – was $89, now $34.99 at Beauty.com! While supplies last.

I have to say that my Go Smile review doesn’t follow the box directions.  My dentist told me to use it two times in a row, so that the tooth pores open up to the second dose.  I tried this and my teeth were at least a shade whiter in less than a day.  I’ll have to considering throwing all teeth whitener directions out the window now.
