Alas, the recession is taking the gloss off beauty with the news that the Prescriptives range from Estee Lauder, will be no more from next year. Distribution of the brand stops from the end of January leaving thousands of women around the globe with a gap in their makeup bags where those handy little refillable palettes once were.
Now I know there are similar products on the market and I know it’s not that big a deal in the great scheme of things, but there is something sad about the passing of a product that over the years, has become something of a friend.
I realise Prescriptives is more than just those refillable makeup palettes, but they epitomise the brand for me – being able to choose each shade means you never end up with a duff one you will never use.
One spark of sunshine – Prescriptives Calyx fragrance will still be available to buy in department stores from next February.
