Following the successful integration of eyeshadow try-on earlier this spring, Sephora, the leader in global prestige beauty retail, continues to drive mobile engagement with the launch of even more augmented reality-based features to Sephora Virtual Artist on its award-winning iOS and Android apps. New today are Cheek Try On, which allows users to virtually try on over 1,000 shades of cheek color, an expanded library of Looks, and a Color Match for Virtual Try On feature, which uses Artificial Intelligence to detect and accurately estimate the shade in any photo and match it with a lip, eyeshadow or cheek products available at Sephora. Available in the Sephora app, these new features for Sephora Virtual Artist are the latest in a series of digital enhancements powered by the Sephora Innovation Lab to customize the retailer’s expanding beauty experiences.

Consistent, reliable starting, smart load sensing technology, fuel protection and fuel savings are hallmarks of a new 27-gross hp1 Briggs & Stratton Commercial Series Engines with electronic fuel injection (EFI) now available on Simplicity’s Prestige garden tractor. Available at Simplicity dealers this spring, EFI brings several added benefits to a garden tractor model already known for its impressive power, performance and reliability.
“The new Commercial Series V-twin engine with EFI provides more reliable starting,” says Ryan Fredrickson, product manager for consumer rides, Briggs & Stratton Turf & Consumer Products. “Hot or cold, regardless of conditions, the addition of electronic fuel injection offers car-like starting. And because it uses a closed fuel system, EFI helps preserve the fuel, preventing it from going bad and reducing starting issues.

What happens when Pitch Perfect actress Brittany Snow uses her charm to talk sunscreen? Shoppers end up singing a different tune than what they expected. Snow, the new face of Coppertone® CLEARLYSheer®, helps prove that trusted protection doesn’t have to come in a tiny bottle with a fancy price tag. Through hidden cameras, she delights shoppers with Coppertone® CLEARLYSheer®, the breathable and light daily sunscreen that’s perfect for everyday protection.
Most people don’t expect a luxurious moisturizing sunscreen to come from Coppertone®. To help them understand it is possible, the brand masked CLEARLYSheer® as Le Clair, a non-existent new prestige sunscreen. Coppertone® then teamed up with Brittany to encourage shoppers to test the face-friendly product on their skin. While they unknowingly applied Coppertone® CLEARLYSheer®, they continually complimented its clean and lightweight formula. At the end, the product is revealed to be from Coppertone®! Is their reaction good or bad? Check out the video to see what shoppers had to say following the reveal! Are they pleasantly surprised? Did Brittany sell it in? You’ll have to watch the video to find out.

Some say that when China sneezes the rest of the world catches cold, but the biggest luxury brands are catching on in China, becoming the most exclusive and desirable ones in fashion according to the wealthiest Chinese women. Still, our ranking also reveals a stronger competition that is accentuated by the wealthy customers’ increasingly stronger maturity. This barometer Promise Consulting / BNP Exane classifies the 15 most exclusive and desirable brands in China in the universe of feminine Fashion. This Barometer is conducted amongst the wealthiest Chinese women, and is about the 30 luxury brands in ready-to-wear/handbags/shoes/accessories that have invested the most in communication (source: Industry Interviews, Exane Paribas). Promise and BNP Exane already conducted the same survey amongst French women in May 2015 (http://bit.ly/1ESTZGu).
”This barometer in association with BNP Exane reflects our determination to move closer to the marketing and cross-section financial analysis. Our Monitoring Brand Assets® approach itself features very complementary analyzes with those conducted by BNP Exane’s experts. Hence, the obtained results from our joined barometer are based on two different angles of expertise, marketing and financial, which brings a unique added value to the managers and decision-makers in the Luxury sector. More concretely, our measure of the exclusivity of a brand takes into account the upper and more constant quality of products, the strong and unique valuation of the customer, the brand’s prestige, but also a matchless “savoir-faire” that justifies a very high price premium associated with top luxury. Finally, our measure of desirability synthesizes the dimensions of attractiveness of an intimate, social and symbolic nature, which are the strengths of exclusive brands, and characterize the particular relation that they maintain with their customers. In this respect, our Barometer synthesizes, in two proven scales, the numerous criteria to establish a ranking between the high-end brands from their customer’s point of view", states Pr. Philippe Jourdan, Promise’s CEO.

Solide, zuverlässig und preiswert. Mit diesen Attributen verschaffte sich Skoda seinen Ruf, für Sparfüchse und Menschen, denen das problemlose Vorwärtskommen wichtiger als Prestige ist, die richtige Adresse zu sein. Eine Philosophie, die die tschechische VW-Tochter auch 20009 bei der Einführung ihres ersten Kompakt-SUVs, dem Yeti, konsequent weiter verfolgte. Nur der vom mystischen Fabelwesen aus dem Himalaya geborgte Name versprühte ein wenig Extravaganz. Ansonsten gab sich der Allradler bewusst bodenständig und glänzte – typisch für Skoda eben – mit hohem Nutzwert. Eine Grundeigenschaft, die bei dem jetzt grundlegend überarbeiteten Modell natürlich beibehalten wurde. Der fast kantig modellierte Yeti dürfte zwar trotz neuer Front und neuem Heck nach wie vor keinen renommierten Designer-Auto-Preis erringen, wirkt jedoch auch dank der neuen Leuchtengrafik und stärker ausgeformter Radhäuser freundlich und dynamisch. Die unterhalb der Front, an den Seiten und am Heck angebrachte Kunststoffverkleidung, die das Blech vor Beschädigungen beim Ausritt ins Gelände schützt, erzeugt zudem Off Road-Look, ohne übertrieben zu wirken. Die erstmals angebotene Outdoor-Variante unterscheidet sich dabei gegenüber dem Stadt-Yeti dadurch, dass diese Teile in schwarz gehalten sind. Das sieht nicht nur urig aus.
Autos von Skoda galten auch noch lange nach der Übernahme durch den VW-Konzern als bieder, zuverlässig und preiswert. Ein Tipp also für Sparfüchse und Menschen, denen das problemlose Vorwärtskommen wichtiger ist als Prestige. Mit dem seit viel Jahren genutzten und vor allem auch in die Tat umgesetzten Slogan „Simply Clever-Lösungen“ und natürlich auch mit den neuen, absolut wettbewerbsfähigen Modellen schaffte es die VW-Tochter, nicht nur von Verkaufserfolg zu Verkaufserfolg zu eilen, sondern sich auch allmählich einen Namen bei einer qualitätsbewussten Klientel zu machen. Lediglich in puncto Sportlichkeit – trotz großer Motorsport-Erfolge in der Vergangenheit - schien ein Skoda unverdächtig. Doch inzwischen stellen die Skoda-Verantwortlichen der kühlen Kosten-Kalkulation eine wohl-kalkulierte Leidenschaft in Form eines Octavia RS zur Seite. Das erste Modell (2000 bis 2005) tat sich noch schwer, doch bereits die zweite Generation wurde sowohl als Limousine als auch Kombi ein Erfolg, den nun die dritte Auflage des Octavia RS fortsetzen und möglichst ausbauen soll.
