New skin care at Walgreen’s

Cold Cream 'n' Roses

My slogan at More Than a Pretty Face is “beauty is where you find it.” At one level, that means I search out dollar stores, drug stores, beauty supply stores, mail order catalogues, department stores, specialty stores, and more to discover beauty products. Today I focus on new skin care products sold through Walgreen’s.

Walgreen’s is now discontinuing its European Beauty Collection of skin care brands, which means that people can now buy these products at discount.

At the same time, Walgreen’s has entered into exclusive distribution agreements with Korea’s The Face Shop and Italy’s Equilibra.

The principal product from The Face Shop is a moist mask sheet that you lay over your face for 20 minutes. The mask sheets is available in a variety of different formulas, including botanical solutions.


Equilibra Perlabella Anti-Aging Retinol Face capsules

The principal product from Equilibra is Perlabella, “pearls” or capsules of face serum in different formulas. You may buy packages containing 28 capsules from walgreens.com or Amazon.com. Packets containing seven capsules may be purchased at Walgreen’s stores.

Here in the Washington, DC Metro area, where I live, the dominant drugstore chain is CVS. There is only a smattering of Walgreen’s and Rite-Aid stores (including former Eckerd that became Rite-Aid stores after Canada’s Jean Coutu Pharmacy sold Eckerd stores to Rite-Aid). Consequently, I go out of the way to shop at Walgreen’s or Rite-Aid.

I went to Walgreen’s yesterday, and I was startled to see all IsaDora cosmetics sold at 50% discount. I asked the beauty adviser-cum-salesperson if Walgreen’s is no longer going to carry IsaDora, and she told me that IsaDora no longer wanted to ship products to the USA(!)

While I was not initially impressed by IsaDora, I reconsidered after reading Paula Begoun’s glowing review of its eyeshadow quads. I now enjoy IsaDora eyeshadow quads in Antique Gold and Bronzing Plums – and picked up the eye shadow trio in Patina yesterday.

In short, get IsaDora products while you still can!
