Essence stand updates

RhubarbCrumble · 13-09-2011 12:55pm #1

All the Essence stands in my local pharmacies/Dunnes have been half empty for about a month now with all the discontinued products removed, however there seems to be no sign of the new products coming in at all. I did ask in my local pharmacy, but they didn't know when it would be updated.
Just wondering if anyone has seen an updated stand anywhere at all?

In my local chemist today They had new things in, holographics I think they're called...there's a lipgloss and eyeshadow after that I can't remember. Love essence!

I really hate that we only get around 1/3 of the Essence collections here. I wonder is it that the shops here don't want them or that Essence won't supply them? I know there's one pharmacy here in Galway that gets in more of the collections than Dunnes or Penneys.

I don't think I've ever actually seen an Essence stand with the current collection on it here - it's so annoying >.< Really want to try out the eyeshadows from the Ballerina Backstage collection! Was in a local chemist at the weekend, and they still have the holographic one, same as for the last few months. Even the Penneys' in town never have collections on time, and they seem to be restocked regularly enough.

The pharmacy beside dunnes rahoon/knockacarra has the ballerina range

recommed the copper creme eyeshadow and blusher too! Just don't buy it all... :-P

also Galway ladies, the we-care pharmacy beside mortons salthill has a fantastic catrice selection, and loads at half price at the counter! I have so many catrice nailpolishes I'm beginning to wonder if they are habit forming :-P

Thanks everyone, but I don't meant the 'hot spot' collections. I mean the actual update of the whole stand which is usualy done twice a year.

There's a few of them that have it, but the one opposite the Cellar seems to get the new collections in fastest and they've had a few collections in there that never appeared in Dunnes or Penneys.

You know the little drawer at the bottom of the stand? I opened that up last time and it was FULL of collections. They staff clearly hadn't been bothered to re-stock.

IloveyouIloveyouIloveyou!! I never checked there before, seeing as you can't see the stand properly from outside I didn't even know it existed but I'm now the VERY happy owner of some of the Backstage Ballerina Collection and a pile of 1/2 price nail polishes

No problem, I don't suppose you bought any of the eye souffles did you? If so, what are they like? I was looking at them today but there's no testers so I couldn't try them.

They actually have loads of stuff on half price in there, I got a mascara and an eyeliner for €2.25 today.

lulut · 16-09-2011 10:05pm

I got the eye souffles in pas de copper and grand plie in black. pas de copper is gorgeousand very long lasting. Have been using it nearly every day since i have gotten it. Great value too. Grand plie in black is just ok. Handy to have as a base. Have not used it properly yet. I also got a few of the nail varnishes in the collection and am loving them so far

The Essence stand in Dunnes Stores Mullingar had the holographics items in there today

Saorenza · 17-09-2011 12:56pm

I got the Copper eye souffle in McLoughlin's chemist in Knocknacarra - where B&Q is.

I love it - stays on forever and looks lovely. And doesn't irritate my sensitive eyes. I am only sorry I didn't get one or both of the other colours.

McCabes in dundrum is the best I've seen and Unicare in Clonskeagh. They've just got their whole stand updated

The holographics collection has been around for ages and that seems to be the one in most other shops - McCabes have the Ballerina one at the moment and have also gotten rid of all the bigger sized polishes and have all the new 5ml polishes in.

They got all the new mascaras in too

It really depends on the shop staff and the rep they have. If the staff aren't bothered about contacting their rep for new products then the old stuff will just hang around for ages.
