I have stopped buying Estée Lauder products à long time ago. Once I started paying attention to ingredient lists & started switching to more natural formulas really. Then the penny started dropping when some people who worked there shared their experiences. I read Bobbi Brown biography & noted that the parting & behaviour of EL executives wasn’t so great. Far from it. The promising beauty brands the behemoth buys & then runs into the ground. And now this story is hitting the headlines. As consumers we have a choice what brands we support with our wallets. As beauty writers we have a choice who we support with our words. How a company treats people & how it behaves speaks volumes about ethics & business practises. So let me ask again - why continue buying from Estée Lauder when you have so much choice & can take your custom elsewhere?
