It was announced today (on happi.com) that there is one more retailer throwing its hat into the ring of beauty: Zappos.com! Let me clarify: Zappos.com already sells beauty products (Stila, Pur Minerals, Ahava, Coty fragrances, etc.). But they have major plans to beef up their beauty department by adding two to four new beauty brands PER MONTH, with a five-year plan that will ultimately include brands like MAC, Bobbi Brown, Dior and Chanel. (Click here to see what brands Zappos.com already offers consumers.)
So tell me, does the prospect of ordering cute shoes and MAC Cosmetics all in the same shopping cart sound attractive to you? From what I can tell, Zappos.com doesn't seem to be offering any discounts on their beauty products (the price points seem about the same Sephora, etc.) so, to me, the attraction is convenience.
If you're already a Zappos.com shopper, would the addition of these new beauty brands tempt you to put a lipstick in your shopping cart along with your new summer sandals? I'd love to hear your thoughts!
Since zappos supposedly has great customer service, I would be inclined to order from them (never ordered shoes due to the pricepoint).
ReplyDeleteThank you for the heads up, you're awesome!!
J-Ezzy: You are so welcome! And I agree--the pricepoints at Zappos are a bit above my budget so I've only ordered there once or twice, but they do have excellent CS, that's for sure. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, it's good to know some businesses are going well! That's great that I can buy products there without being bothered by the makeup artists at the counter; they always get me to buy so much crap!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't Zappos always offer free shipping as well?
ReplyDeletePCS: Great point. Sometimes the SAs at different counters pressure me into buying more, and that's one of the reasons I like to buy online as well. :)
ReplyDeleteHannah: OMG!! I completely forgot about that!! WOW, that is such a great point! Thanks so much for reminding me--that is a DEFINITE reason to consider purchasing makeup from Zappos. WOW! :)
