Shu Uemura exits US market...

Loreal USA who owns a 35% stake in Shu Uemura announced today that it will close US operations for the Shu Uemura brand due to the low sales during the Recession.  This change will not affect the foreign market.

Loreal's luxury portfolio includes Lancome, YSL, Giorgio Armani, Ralph Lauren, Khiel's and fragrances like Viktor & Rolf and Diesel.


So now you'll have to go to their website to get their famous eyelash curlers, cleansing oils and amazing fake eyelashes.  Sad we won't be able to try them at a store anymore!
