Seventh richest man in the world is opening his new store at Destin Commons in March

I'm normally not into make-up all that much, but love what I've gotten at Sephora in the past.

Yep, I'm anxious to make the world's 7th richest man into the world's 6th richest man. Make-up is overrated. But good luck mr. Monsieur Arnault.

He'd better get some lessons from the mistakes at the ATL Lenox Square store. Such as (a) at minimum have employees who try to help instead of standing around, ignoring customers, just to collect a paycheck, and (b) even better, have knowledgeable employees who know more about makeup and the products that are sold there than the customers do. Usually our daughter ends up giving product lessons to the employees -- she's an artist, and makeup is just a media that she does for fun, not pay. Oh, and (c) please don't spray so much fragrance that it gives many people either nausea or a headache upon entering the store.

That being said, our favorite makeup products are bought at Sephora.

I am not the target demographic, but I must say I do like it when people get rich for doing something or having a great idea.

With your support we can get Monsieur Arnault up to sixth place by passing up Larry Ellison of Oracle(28 Billion).

And I would be interesting in contributing to this effort because?

Good luck, and thanks for my laugh of the day.

Ring ring..oh Rapunzel? Sephora's calling!

Here is Punzy's opportunity to get me in the makeup store and tart me up. She has been dying to do this since the day we met.

Reminds me of that old SNL skit in the Arnold voice:
"we gon' PUMP. you up"

Scootie that sounds quite Warren Buffet-ish... who believes "investors should be buying A BUSINESS, not just a stock".

From Joe Nocera's article 'Saint Warren of Omaha' published in Money, July 1998 and reprised as a chapter in his book Good Guys and Bad Guys, Saints and Scoundrels of American Business, one of my favorite Buffet quotes:

"If I taught a class in valuation, I would ask the students, for the final exam, to pick an Internet company and tell me how much it's worth. Anyone who gave me an answer would flunk."

I just learned there's an Ulta in Destin, and now a Sephora....guess I won't have to order online from them anymore. Someone hide my wallet.

Don't worry, I know where those stores are, but have never been inside them! ;-)

This cold weather has me jonesing for some of your whipped shea butter.

I'll have some organic whipped shea butter with tea tree essential oil this Saturday, maybe another scent depending on what I get done between now and Saturday.

World's Billionaires 2011: A Record Year In Numbers, Money And Impact

World's Billionaires 2011-- Forbes.com
Destin's newest retail shopkeeper Bernard Arnault will open his new store "Sephora" next week in the Destin Commons. What a year it was for Bernard earning $13.5 Billion and becoming the 4th richest person in the World. With your support Destin, he could easily become number one.

No. 4 Bernard Arnault

Net Worth: $41 billion
Source: LVMH
Citizenship: France

The Lord of Luxe easily retains title of richest European. Fortune surged by $13.5 billion as shares of his luxury goods outfit, LVMH, rose by more than half over the past year thanks to strong demand for luxuries like Dom Perignon champagne, Cognac Hennessy, Tag Heuer watches and Louis Vuitton accessories, particularly in Asian markets like Shanghai and Ho Chi Minh City. The group acquired 20% of Hermes last year; Arnault insists he is a friendly shareholder but Hermes sees it as hostile. In March the Bulgari family transferred its majority holding in its brand to LVMH in exchange for LVMH shares and board seats. LVMH fired Christian Dior designer John Galliano after he apparently made anti-Semitic remarks. Renaissance man also owns yacht builder Royal Van Lent, a hotel in Courchevel; has stakes in French retailer Carrefour and French tour operator Go Voyages.
