Dessert Beauty at Shoppers Drug Mart

[Shawna]

I just got my new flyer from Shoppers (sorry, it's Canadian) and they have Jessica Simpson's Dessert Line for $19.99. I love some of her stuff so I was all set to jet to SDM, but then I figured I'd go online just to make sure the store near me carried it. They have my flyer and in big print across the ad for Dessert, it says PRODUCT NOT AVAILABLE. WTF? Why advertise something in a flyer and then not have it. Ah well, if they do eventually get it, it's totally cheap so I'm happy. Holt Renfrew is gonna have a fit because they charge $65 for the perfume alone. Maybe that's what causing the holdup? I heard HR has a monopoly on lots of US products. Like Nars for example. I don't think the Canadian Sephora can carry Nars b/c of HR. I don't know why, a little competition is good.

but Dessert Beauty is a CANADIAN line - it's manufactured here in Ottawa. Randy Schindler, the actual creator of Dessert - and the Clean fragrance line - lives here!

JS is a hired shill!!!

Woah.. that's crap then! Although I've only been hearing awful things about the line.. I still want to try it (what can I say.. I'm a sucker for punishment)

I'm really surprised it's so cheap.

So I wandered over to SDM to find out about the Dessert only to be informed that due to unforseen circumstances, they won't be carrying the line after all. It sucks because even thought lots of people bash the line, I love some of it. I like the perfumes because they smell good, but aren't overpowering. I am a caregiver so I want to smell good, but not to choke my patients.

I liked some of the moisturizers too. I wonder what happened.

I dunno, I never really liked the line....I'm kinda over the whole flavored gloss thing (makes me sick after awhile) and the thought of eating body lotion makes me elchh....it's an awesome idea, but I think it's too much of a novelty to have such a high price tag on it. Just IMHO.
