Check out the makeup brands that JCPenney carries

Cold Cream 'n' Roses

It’s been a crazy ol’ time as hubby and I are holed up at Comfort Inn, waiting to move into our apartment.

As hubby was shopping for clothes, I browsed JCPenney’s beauty department. As you know, Sephora used to be inside JCPenney stores, but now Sephora has a tie-up with Kohl’s.

JCPenney has now set up its own beauty department, and I couldn’t be happier. I like discovering new makeup brands, especially brands not carried by Sephora, Ulta, or CVS.

JCPenney carries these makeup brands:

  • Dose of Colors
  • Exa Beauty
  • Eyeko
  • Forever 21
  • Jason Wu Beauty
  • KimChi Chic Beauty
  • Lime Crime
  • Mineral Fusion
  • Mirabella 
  • Relevant 
  • Shades by Shan
  • Thirteen Lune
  • Velour Lashes

Visit your nearby JCPenney to check out the variety of beauty brands it carries. I visited my local JCPenney store at Fair Oaks Mall, Fairfax, VA. Alternatively, browse JCPenney Beauty online.

JC Penney’s new home department

Cold Cream 'n' Roses

Everyone knows that JC Penney is suffering: changeovers in management, an ad campaign that sounds like abject apology.

Today I received the flyer for Penney’s housewarming event for its new home department.  Penney’s (as I call it) is taking a page from Target’s playbook by employing well-known designers and taste makers such as Michael Graves (who had a collection for Target), Martha Stewart, Jonathan Adler, and Sir Terence Conran  to revamp its home department.

I’m a nut for footed bowls, and this acacia wood bowl from Michael Graves Design caught my eye:

What do you think of Penney’s new home department?   Has anything caught your eye?  Does the home department revamp have legs?  Will it rescue Penney’s from the doldrums?
