I read an article somewhere online that suggested that Linda was not happy about this, and that she never would have sold it if she had known this would be its fate. However, this article cited another, and was not the primary source (which I haven't taken the time to track down, yet), lola seicentohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14096919291120769005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455649611035614739.post-41688099363793474302021-07-15T07:37:19.699-07:002021-07-15T07:37:19.699-07:00You are so right, Marcia!

If they continue to purchase small brands, I wish that they would open a division that maintains the ethos of those companies rather than turning them into something else. There is no reason that a brand such as Rodin Olio Lusso needs to end up in the lola seicentohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14096919291120769005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455649611035614739.post-23891417641265278142021-07-14T18:26:47.243-07:002021-07-14T18:26:47.243-07:00Oh, I am so sorry to hear this.

What a shame. Frankly, EL doesn't really do anything good for the brands it buys other than make the former owners rich - that may be a good thing in and of itself, I guess. I hope that Linda Rodin didn't have any Never Say Die Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17269576012276962850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455649611035614739.post-55486749296201546212021-07-14T17:33:51.260-07:002021-07-14T17:33:51.260-07:00What a shame that this once indie company has fall...What a shame that this once indie company has fallen so dramatically. It has such a great reputation. Sadly Lauder has changed a lot of brands, not for the better.

It also made me sad to think that Barneys New York was also gone! I agree with you about Linda's story and approach. It definitely seems as though when small brands are purchased by huge companies that their brand ethos radically changes, and so too do their products quite often. I am just so sad that such a lovely brand is no more.lola seicentohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14096919291120769005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455649611035614739.post-86993131708458849982021-07-14T12:57:53.607-07:002021-07-14T12:57:53.607-07:00They had several makeup items, and the lipsticks a...They had several makeup items, and the lipsticks and lip liners were wonderful.

While I’m sure it’s a thrilling milestone for brand owners who are bought out by EL, it seems to me like every brand they’ve acquired has either diminished in quality, gets sold off repeatedly, or just dies. It’s unfortunate.
