That’s over a grand worth of makeup?!?!? I’ve got at least this much eyeshadow in my arsenal and it’s nowhere near worth $1000.
Waaaay overpriced and anyone paying big bucks for this is really really stupid.
I hate sephora.
I noticed the amount, too. Presumably that’s an estimated retail price of the products in that display, if they were packaged for individual sale. As my late father used to say, “What’s a sick chicken worth? Whatever someone will give you for it.”
The loss to the company is much less: cost of the ingredients plus getting the display to the retail outlet and setting it up. Since there’s no packaging, it’s far less than retail even at that level.
It’s about status, IMO. If you have the money, you go for the status.
Overpriced Sephora the crap is probably worth a couple of hundred bucks.
