Many of you buy your makeup at Macys, Sephora, or ULTA. How about buying your high-end cosmetics at CVS from now on??!! Make way for Beauty 360.
CVS Caremark sees the huge appeal for skin care and cosmetics, and now they want to jump into the mix and sell prestige beauty products. CVS wants to test this concept on the east coast and west coast.
Women's Wear Daily, which first reported the news, said the first Beauty 360 would be opened in Washington, D.C., and the second in Sacramento by the end of the year.
CVS' Beauty 360 stores will be built right next door to existing CVS drugstores, if these two trial stores take off with success.
"Beauty has always been a core part of our front-of-store offering, so this is the next evolution," CVS spokeswoman, Eileen Howard Dunn, told USA Today recently.
CVS will have more than 6,800 stores if it finishes its planned purchase of Longs Drug Stores. That geographic reach is one way to challenge the prestige beauty war with Sephora, Dunn said.
32 lines of skin care and cosmetics and a number of fragrances will be offered at CVS' Beauty 360 stores.
We say thumbs up, to CVS!! The more beauty stores on a block, the better. Now, if we could only use our CVS Care Card for some decent discounts on this high-end makeup, that would be the icing on the cake.
