Cosmetics and the environment
It looks like cosmetics retailers are joining the push to save the environment. Even though we don’t have any Lush stores in the Roanoke area, you might find interesting this story about Lush employees going naked this week at its stores nationwide to encourage people to stop using excess packaging materials.
Still, a new cosmetics line in Roanoke is promoting recycling, though it’s not quite as risqué as asking employees to go without clothing. At MAC Cosmetics' new booth inside Macy’s, which opened Thursday, customers are encouraged to bring in leftover make-up containers. If you bring in six containers, you get free lipstick.
Yes, they do take left-over make-up containers, but in speaking with them I found that they only take 'MAC' cosmetic containers... no Loreal, Estee Lauder, and none of the pharmacy or grocery store brands... just an FYI.
