Blurring the lines between food & beauty

Are you already getting blown away by “experiential retailing” or taking your time to sink in with the new amalgamation of food and beauty industry? This exciting phenomenon where food merges with beauty excites us a lot. Being a beauty enthusiast and food lover, what else could we demand? This new trajectory where lines are getting blurred between the two sectors is nonetheless a movement, a new trend, a new direction to experiential retail and a new formula to reach the demanding consumer.

There is no doubt that the demand for an enhanced retail experience has driven brands to reinvent not only their in-store models but also work on their product offerings. This evolution of store formats and new product propositions has now entered the DNA of the client experience. It is the time to chase some food for your skin and take the pleasure in full swing.
