Great post - I always find these little insights of yours so interesting! I have done some research too and I predict that next Christmas everyone will wear glitter. In nail polish. Where's my money? ;-) xx

OMG I totally agree. Do you think there even are there big trends each season anymore? I feel like there are little micro-trends, but you can buy whatever you like, whenever you like, really.. It's an interesting topic :-)

I've just added Cosmetics International to my favourites - I'm a geek too!

Thank you for the insight! Your sharp writing really helps open my mind to the nature of beauty industry. We customers tend to *feel* the products rather than really rationalize which ones will be timeless, hence no need for this newest color. Oh well, when it comes to addiction, we know but we can't resist, I guess.

I wonder if the idea of "trends" really even exists anymore outside of magazines.

I think that forecasting makeup trends is a bit like forecasting paint trends....

Your post made me laugh out loud. "Trend Forecasting" has always struck me as expensive crystal ball gazing.
