As the doom mongers continue to squawk about failing economy women everywhere are reaching for their own personal pick me up. The IT Bags of the early noughties have been relegated to the back of the wardrobe and now the chic way to put a smile on your face is to paint one on with some good old fashioned lipstick.
Estee Lauder has reported a 41% rise in sales of lipstick as women look for a boost in these gloomy times. The FT call it the lipstick index, when sales are down, but beauty is up, you know where the market is heading. A close runner up in ‘pick up purchases’ is tights, which provide an instant revamp of your usual look. At Amazona, we say there’s still nothing that beats a pair of hot red lips.
What’s your pick me up tip?
