What do you think about Body Shop's sale to L'Oreal? What else could Anita do?

I work for the Body Shop and we were floored by the news that the company had been purchased by L'Oreal.  However, we've been assured over and over again that no changes were going to be made.  L'Oreal respects the Body Shop as a company for our products and our values, and hopefully, they will stand by that.  A lot of the higher-ups in our company look at the L'Oreal sale as a kind of honor.  It's amazing to think that such a small company, founded on such great beliefs, is now connected with such a large company with such great buying power.  (At least, that's what they're telling us.)  The goal is to eventually be able to use the strong buying power and just the name of L'Oreal to make an even bigger impact through the causes we support.  Let's hope that happens.  As far as Anita Roddick goes, I think it was a smart business decision on her part.  The Body Shop sales have been down the last couple of years...maybe this will be able to preserve the company.

I know a whole line of products you would probably love but they are a private company so mentioning their name would be considered soliciting. They have excellent french milled soaps.

The best sale I saw was on some 14k gold, sapphire & diamond earrings.  They were 75% off, then the store gave you this candy bar that you took the wrapping off and got another percentage off, plus I had gotten a discount coupon in the mail & then because I used my store credit card I got even more off.  By the time I got done with all the discounts & coupons I ended up paying just over $30 + tax for these earrings that cost a bloody fortune!\n\nI've come acrossed other deals and sales but nothing beats the deal I got on those earrings and I still have them today (many, many years later)!

I've never even heard of it. I use her exercise vids, and I think they're brilliant, so going by those, her face thingy should be just as good. Keep going. Let us know how it goes.

Alicia Keys and Kelly Clarkson with proactiv I believe, Lindsay Lohans makes me laugh and Jessica Simpson slipped up in an interview awhile back and thanked some other product for her skin...Some do, some simply do it for the extra money. People buy it because of these celebs so company's pay them a butt-load even if they have never even heard of the product.

No! Jodie wouldn't do a commercial like that. I know she did a band-aid and Coppertone Sun Tan lotion commercial when she was little. Jodie e-mail me. I lost have the stuff on my computer cuz my friend got on & deleted a bunch of stuff.

I have not heard of Park Lane and just recently received an invitiation to a Silpada party.  I've never heard of Silpada until now so I'm anxious to see the jewelry and compare.  I am an avid buyer of the Lia Sophia jewelry and LOVE the fact that they have a lifetime replacement guarentee.  I recently broke one of my necklaces and sent it in for a replacement item.  One week later, I had my replacement!  I have many friends that also LOVE the Lia Sohpia jewelry as well as several that are allergic to other jewlery.  My niece being one of them.  She purchased several of the gold earrings and necklaces five months ago and has not had any reaction at all to them.  They also have great customer specials which are a HUGE benefit!  I definitely vouch for the Lia Sophia.\n\nI would definitely look at not only their hostess programs, their start-up costs but also what they offer their customers.  What are the advantages to the customer of each of the companies.  Afterall, you can spend as much or as little as you want in start-up costs but if there isn't anything that is going to help keep your customers coming back or give them incentives to buy your product, then investing in it isn't going to be worth it.  What guarentees do they offer your customers?  What specials do they run for the customer?  I'm not talking about the party hostess...I'm talking about what they offer for those people that attend the parties.  That has made a big difference in what parties I attend.

Gotta love eBay! You don't have to leave your house and it has EVERYTHING!\nMy last item was tanning lotion. (I know, so boring, but...you asked!) ;0)\n\nWhat about YOU?

I think they will lose some business, but not enough to hurt the company.  Out of people who buy it, the rappers are probably the minority, but once word gets out the hip hop community will more than likely fall back from buying.\n\nBut then again, similar remarks were made by Tommy Hilfiger and others, and still they rock!

B/c she got a lot of free publicity after snorting cocaine & most fashion designers & companies want well known people to advertise their products, that way they also get a lot of free publicity & they sell better.

There are people who have joined my company that used to work with Mary Kay.  The average Mary Kay representative buys serverl hundred dollars if not thousands to stock an inventory.  They also have a hard time because so many people are represenatives of Mary Kay and there simply is not enough business to go around.  Many times they were unable to return unsold items due to color changes where they discontinues some items and the representative is simply stuck with it.  I have a very interesting comparison between my company and Mary Kay if you would be interested.  I don't know about Beauticontrol or Jafra but I believe they are less over done.  \nIf you live in the U.S. or Canada I have a company you may be interested in.   I work with Stayin Home and Lovin It! and they are partnered with a wellness company that is 21 years old and in good standing with the Better Business Buerau.  The make products that are healthier non-toxic and environmentally safer.  They have a complete cosmetic line, and they sell so many other products also, including cleaning supplies, shampoo, toothpaste, deoderant, vitamins, health bars, laundry soap, candles, bubble bath, soaps, and so much more.  All your necessities you buy everyday.  With this company you do not stock any products, or make any deliveries.  You enroll customers to shop direct and their purchases are delivered to their door.  Then you recieve a commission for everything that customer buys and long as they are buying.  You can have the home parties if you like to enroll customers to show off the products.  The products are at a reasonable price, many I found to be cheaper than what I was buying before.  If you are interested in researching this company further go to http://healthybetterme.com/  and fill out the request to get more information.  There is no risk of losing anything with this company and no big investment.  I hope you find what you are looking for.

I have a legal and very easy way to make the extra money that you need by March.  I know you say you aren't good at sales but neither am I and I have had a lot of success with Mary Kay.  The product has been around for a long time and is the #1 brand of skin care and color cosmetics so it basically sells itself.  The best part is that you make 1/2 of every sale, there are no territories and no quotas.  Just a thought...

I had hair down to my waste, I had very thick hair and it is a very unique dishwater/golden blonde color. It is prettier than ash blonde. I have shorter hair now  because it was too hard for me to manage and too hot in the summer. \n\nI got my hair cut and could've shot the beautician because their was a woman who just LOVED MY HAIR she asked me if she could have whatever the beautician cut off because she owned a wig shop and I told her yes, She was going to give me $250.00 for my hair and the beautician forgot that the lady wanted to buy my hair and she swept it up with someone elses and the lady said she could not buy the hair since she had already swept it up and mixed other hair with hit. I was ready to get out of my chair and slap that woman!! LOL!\n\nI was mad and so was the lady. \n\nI am with whoever suggest locks of love .It is more rewarding to give then to have someone buy it. It really is. :)
