Good luck to her revamping Revlon and Elizabeth Arden as those brands have become rather stale lately.

That's interesting. I always thought she did a great job at Allure & wondered what she would do when she left. It should be interesting to see what happens with these companies.

I hope new leadership doesn't change or discontinue the Revlon products that I've loved and used the last 40 years. Maybe I should stock up now?

Wonderful to read.... I loved her editorial skills at Allure and for years she helped produce a magazine that I enjoyed. I canceled my subscription as it is not aimed at my demographic anymore.

I am sure she will do an excellent job at Revlon. The woman is a powerhouse of new ideas and she will probably help to give new life to what I have found a rather stale line of cosmetics.

Thank you for the post. I have subscribed to Allure for geez I bet 25 years. Always enjoyed her articles when she was their editor.

Wow!

I think she will do a great job.

I worked for several Revlon companies for many years and this makes me want to go back there.

They probably want younger people than me now though.

But I hope they keep our old favorites too and not revamp so much that we don't recognize the place.

I dropped Allure after they replaced her. They changed the demographics (and quality) so I've moved on.

I am glad for her. I am a big fan. After she left Allure the magazine changed so I cancelled my subscription after over 20 years. I wish her luck.

I too cancelled after she left, a huge force in the beauty /cosmetic industry!

Allure went downhill fast after she left. I still have my subscription and don't enjoy reading the magazine anymore. They have no clue what they are doing. When my subscription expires I won't be renewing.
