My daughter and I ditched over to the Walgreens on Lake St in Minneapolis to get a gift for a birthday party she was to attend. Even though my neighborhood is very mixed — residential and commercial, foreign and domestic born, poor and maybe not rich, but certainly middle class, different races — the clientele for businesses tend to sort by class or ethnicity. Even within our mixed neighborhood, we sort. But the Walgreens on Lake cuts this really cool cross-section.
But still, even then, when you compare that Walgreens with the CVS just blocks up, which has roughly the same kind of 2-for-1, as-seen-on-TV kind of endcaps, the Lake St Walgreens has a decidedly more broad clientele. And really garrulous employees. I was in there getting a prescription filled for my husband a couple of weeks ago, and the pharmacist browbeat me into getting a flu shot, at which point a young woman in a hijab stuck me efficiently, and then gave me a sticker.
So I was just jaw-dropped when I saw the following spinning display rack right smack in the middle of the make-up section. Each district is defined by a primary industry: coal-mining, agriculture, small electronics, heavy industry, etc. Due to a rebellion by the districts 75 years earlier, each of these districts offer up two teenagers to the Capitol as tribute every year to fight to the death in the Hunger Games.
Out of 24 tributes, only one will survive. The whole event is televised. My neighborhood is a Capitol sorted by districts. It is a microcosm of Panem, a country which makes manifest our American economic disconnects into the rigid structures of barbed wire and geography. Collins turns the economic, political, racial divides into someplace clarified and concrete, and then she has our children fight to death within it.
But what does this have to do with make-up? You really can't tell much in the bottle but I love and encourage comments here at Nouveau Cheap, and I do not censor comments unless they violate my comment policy, which you can view here. Don't forget to check the beauty sale pages at Macy's here and Nordstrom here for new beauty deals plus free shipping! There is actually only ONE Hunger Games collection I had previously written that there were several, each corresponding to a different district.
There are 12 districts total, and the products from this collection are used to create various looks from each district. As of the time of this post, I do not know how many different displays will be released the display I showed you earlier today did not contain everything that is showcased in the accompanying pamphlet , but I will let you know as soon as I receive confirmation. If you caught my earlier post, then you know that the counter display for the CoverGirl The Hunger Games Catching Fire Collection is now surfacing in stores click here for lots of pics.
But thanks to reader Kayla kelizabeth9o on Instagram , I can tell you that there is also an end-cap display , and the end-cap display features the same products that are in the counter display, plus additional Glosstinis. Kayla spotted this display at her local Meijer. Take a look:.
To refresh your memory, here are the shades that are in the counter display:. Comparing the four shades in the counter display to the shades in the end-cap display, there are at least three additional shades in the end-cap display: a deep black, a tangerine orange and a deep green.
I believe that the deep green shade is repeated twice in this display, but I might be wrong about that. I believe that the black shade in this end-cap display is named Black Heat , and the deep green shade is named Scalding Emerald.
I don't know the name of the other shades. Posted by G. Unknown September 12, at PM. Steffy M. September 13, at AM. Raychel September 14, at AM. Cheryl September 14, at PM.
