Interparfums FY 2022: record earnings as operating profit soars 33 percent

THE WHAT? Interparfums has reported its results for the 2022 fiscal year. The fragrance giant recorded record earnings for the full year with net income up 40 percent on 2021’s figures and sales rising 26 percent to €706.6 million. THE DETAILS The company noted that it had extended its partnership with Montblanc until December 31, 2030 and, subject to the General Meeting’s ratification, hit its goal of achieving gender parity on its board. THE WHY? Philippe Benacin, Chairman and CEO, commented, “Against the backdrop of a turbulent economic and geopolitical environment, our sales and earnings continued to grow in 2022. In 2023, although many uncertainties still exist, this positive momentum should continue with sales expected to reach €750 million, driven by the continuing appeal of our brands for consumers in a global perfume market that remains buoyant.” The post Interparfums FY 2022: record earnings as operating profit soars 33 percent appeared first on Global Cosme

ColourPop Werk It Target Colour Stix Duo

Werk It

ColourPop Werk It Target Colour Stix Duo ($14.00 for 0.10 oz.) includes two shimmery, twist-up eyeshadow pencils in a light, warmer pewter and a bright, sky blue. They were sheerer but harder to build up, and as a result, they were also harder to diffuse/blend out, which made them hard to use as an eyeshadow and most practical to use as eyeliner.

As a FYI, the duos for Target contain larger-sized Colour Stixx (0.048 oz. each), so they have a more “jumbo” feel consistent with other twist-up eyeshadow pencils.

ColourPop Clownin' Matte Colour Stix

Clownin’

Clownin’ is a medium pewter with subtle, warm undertones and a metallic sheen.

  • Semi-sheer coverage in one layer, difficult to build up
  • Lightly emollient, smooth but bunched up/thickened when layered
  • Applied unevenly and was hard to blend
  • Moderate wear (~7 hours before creasing a bit)

FURTHER READING: Formula Overview for details on general performance and characteristics (like scent).

Formula Overview

$6.00/0.019 oz. – $315.79 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to be “ultra pigmented” in “one swipe” while being “long wearing” and “water-resistant.” There are two finishes: matte and metallic, and the initial release included two shades from each finish, so the overview is based on those four shades, which is not a ton of shades to go off of!

One of the four pencils was drier, stiffer, and was prone to the point snapping off during application. The other three were creamier with the metallic shades being more emollient than the remaining matte shade. The pigmentation varied from shade to shade; it ranged from medium to opaque with some being more buildable than others.

The performance was more consistent with three of the four shades applying comfortably with somewhat even initial layers. They were blendable for five to 10 seconds before they dried down to more budge-proof finish. They didn’t feel heavy or clingy on my lids, and while they were creamy, they did not feel slippery as they were drying down so they did not settle into fine lines or creases during the dry down.

I was able to apply them directly from the pencil to my eye area, but I found a brush gave me a more even application and helped me blend out the product without losing some of the coverage compared to application with a fingertip. The shades lasted between six and eight hours before creasing on me.
