Macy's lands new cosmetics line
This week a line of cosmetics that’s sold globally is coming to Roanoke’s Macy’s store. On Thursday, MAC Cosmetics will debut at the Valley View Mall department store.
This line of makeup, fragrances and accessories is coveted by Roanoke area shoppers, according to Macy’s store manager, Trish Burch. She said customers have been requesting that the store carry MAC cosmetics for some time.
“This is a huge win-win for us,” Burch said.
MAC, which stands for Make-up Art Cosmetics, is sold in a variety of department stores, and in Virginia, they include Macy’s, Nordstrom and Bloomingdale's. There also are individual MAC stores.
The Roanoke Macy’s will carry the majority of the New York company’s collection, except for certain items that are exclusive to MAC stores.
Check out MAC Cosmetics' Web site for more information about the company.
In other cosmetics news, CVS wants to make a name for itself in the beauty realm. The drug store retailer is testing an upscale beauty store concept, called Beauty 360, which will focus on skin care and cosmetics.
It’s planning to open two stores, one on the West Coast and another on the East Coast. The East Coast location could land in Washington, D.C., according to this news article.
Hi Jenny--heard a nasty rumor that Imagination Station across from Towers is getting ready to close. Do you know anything about it?

There was a rumor going around that a Sephora was going to come to Valley View. Have you heard anything?

Carrie and Roanoke RnR,
These are both rumors that I haven't yet heard, but I'll definitely check them out. Thanks for letting me know about them.
Carrie, I hope the Imagination Station news isn't true.

I am so excited. I recently moved here from DC where everyone is a MAC addict. This is the best makeup out there and its going to blow all the other stands out of the water. I feel bad for all you MaryK and Avon folks, cuz you will lose all your clients of color to MAC

Yo Folks,
Trying for advice about what are the cheapest tooth whitening products to use?
I find it has been difficult to source the up to date information as far as I can see. One place tells you one thing and another place advises you something totally different!
Well, I thought the smartest thing to do is get real advice from you guys as you possibly have personal experience about these things.
All information is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance folks.
