Beauty Industry

Hiiiiii!!

It is amazing what you find these days, through internet. One thing that really caught my interest today is the fact that... when you think that MAC, Clinique, Estee Lauder, Bobbi Brown, Michael Kors are all different brands, think again. Yes they are different names, but are they different companies? They might be, but there's always the Big Boss.

What about Kiehl's, Shu Uemura, The Body Shop, Lancome, Biotherm, Giorgio Armani, ok the list goes on... are they all different individually standing company? Think again.

The fact is, there are only several, not thousands of corporations/owner of the beauty industry. These are multi-billion dollars corporations that in fact, owns multiple brands. Let's get to it, shall we? (I'll list them in numeric order too, so you can see how many each owns)

Being from the same 'companies' or 'corporation' does not mean they're all made from the same batch or factory or exactly the same. I guess it's sort of like, you're purchasing Jasmine Rice, all says Jasmine Rice but you get not so aromatic, harder texture, drier ones and you get the really nice, soft, aromatic ones. Ok, uhm, hahaha yeah, moving on...
you get Chanel and you get Bourjois. There's Guerlain, and there's Benefit. Or Estee Lauder and Clinique... They all have their own characteristics, and their own price range according to packaging and formula. So depending on which ones you buy, it's always good to compare. Not all high ends brands are that good, not all lower end brands are that bad! And in the end it comes down to money. I trust

Anyway, I hope this is enough said. Please comment below... to just share what you think.
