New site for beauty discounts up and running
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sample sale sites that call themselves 'exclusive' are all the rage in fashion and beauty right now, and there's yet another one that was just launched: Market for Drama (marketfordrama.com).
In reality, almost all of these 'members-only communities' grant membership to anyone who is willing to fill out a questionnaire with their personal details and shopping preferences, but no matter: online shoppers are buying into the exclusive feel of the sites, and stores keep sprouting.
After stylish newsletter Daily Candy (swirl.com) and department store Saks Fifth Avenue both announced their members-only boutiques recently, it is now Market for Drama, which is causing a stir, due to its more editorial approach.
The new service, which focuses on luxury beauty products, is divided into two sections, the 'Shop' and the 'Journal,' which will feature original editorial content, recommending products. Its design is more fashionable and 'edgy' than that of other sample sale sites, however half of the products featured have already been making the rounds elsewhere (M Lab, Alison Raffaele).
Other existing sites specializing in beauty sample sales include The Fairest (thefairest.com) and The Skinny (shoptheskinny.com).
