One or two of the DRTV networks that are seeing softness in their jewelry sales might consider broadening the category to include bathroom basics and other small household goods. Pictured at left and featured in The New York Times this week is a Luxe Edition Crystal Slant Tweezer & Stand from Tweezerman, which retails for approximately $200. While this particular bauble is covered in Swarovksi crystals and looks like its owner’s surname should be Hilton or Khardashian, Tweezerman does make subtler, decorative tweezers. If $200 tweezers catch on, may I suggest another upscale indispensable for women’s purses — packets of tissues fashioned from steam-cleaned and perfumed $100 notes.
Yo, Pimp Your Tweezers!

Women are increasingly passing up the cosmetics counters at department stores, shopping for their beauty products on TV and in specialty stores like those operated by Sephora USA Inc. and Ulta Salon, Cosmetics & Fragrance Inc. The new predilection, in fact, is part of the reason why HSN and QVC reported such strong first quarters, and also why department store sales fell 9.3% between May 2007 and May 2010, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce. What’s more, these alternative distribution channels for cosmetics are cross-pollinating. The Perricone MD and Philosophy skin care lines initially made their names on QVC, then expanded their distribution into Ulta and Sephora stores, and finally opened up their own retail locations.
