Sigh.
Revlon's prospects continue to wane. Crain's magazine reported today that the cosmetics giant is carrying over $1.4 billion worth of debt. They're trying to resuscitate the brand by bringing back a line of Almay shadows and liners aimed at busy women (huh?), but CEO Ron Perelman needs to find some private investor to bail 'em out.
I feel bad. By age 16, I'd amassed a lipstick collection that topped 100 tubes, and about 40 of those tubes were all Revlon colors. My faves, in order...
Bronze Coin
Certainly Red
Love That Red
Cherries in the Snow
Bare Sand
Rosewood
From what I can see, only Cherries and Certainly are still in production. And, if Ron really wants to save his company, perhaps he could lay off the celebs selling his stuff? Yes, I adore Halle and Susan like everyone else, but I'm sure they're minting their own money off appearance fees.
Just a thought. Carry on...
