New Flash Sale Skin Care Launch: The Skinny

Flash sale websites have grown significantly in the last couple years as a way for shoppers to take advantage of amazing markdowns online. If you aren’t yet familiar with the popular flash sale websites like Gilt Groupe, RueLaLa, and Ideeli, they are online sale websites that require registration in order to receive email updates about the dates and times of super discounted short-term sales. Usually the sales feature one specific designer and the discounts are at least 40% off, so the merchandise goes quickly! The best products are gone in only a matter of minutes and the sales usually last about three days. Flash sale websites bring the concept of samples sales to online shopping.
A new flash sale website called The Skinny opens today! Registration has been by invitation only, so here is my invitation to join:
The Skinny is the first members-only flash sale website that offers luxury skin care products at up to 75% off. They will feature brands like Perricone MD, International Orange, Lisa Hoffman Beauty, 100% Pure, and Organic Apoteke. The Skinny will also feature discounts on cosmetic services…I will definitely be excited about those!
Luxury skin care products are extremely expensive and since most women are committed to a daily routine, products usually need to be replaced rather frequently. The Skinny offers women who are committed to certain products the ability to shop their favorite brands at discount prices. They don’t need to try them on in a store because they are already using them and know what to expect. The Skinny also collects information about skin type and personal preferences (you can specify an interest in organic products!) to deliver personalized product recommendations. It’s always helpful to hear about new products that you might like…and that are on sale!
I am obviously obsessed with skin care products, so I’m excited to see what The Skinny will have to offer. My products are fairly expensive, so I will definitely be stocking up on my regulars whenever they go on sale. Today is their big launch so register online to see what they have to offer…
