Yes, you read that title right, there is an ACTUAL Maybelline New York store right here in Lagos, Nigeria. Maybelline arrived in Nigeria 3 years ago, I attended their media launch event at the time and
blogged about it. If you click the link to the
post, you will see I asked the Maybelline team if they had plans on opening a store and the response I got was "No" and they were more concerned with getting stands in various beauty stores around the country. The fact that they launched with only three products out of their ENTIRE range was also a huge bummer, and most of you guys expressed your disappointment in the comments section of that post. I hope those commenters are still BiL readers, because this news will be music to their ears! I guess their plans have now changed, only took them 3 years
*side eye*, but I ain't mad! Anyway enough rambling....
I went down to the Maybelline store yesterday to check it out and I was completely blown away! I shared videos with my snapchat family, so they know all about it! You should follow me on snapchat, they get all the 'juicy' stuff first (Username: BeautyInLagos).
I have provided not just images, but prices as well because I know this is just as important. I also purchased a few items which I will share in a different post. Enjoy the pictures!

DeleteI'm sure they will be adding more product lines as they go along!
Things like this make me want to move to Lagos... This is good! Awesome post as always Ez... Blessings
ReplyDeleteAwww haha! Thank God for online stores though, they deliver nationwide. Maybelline may just have to expand online to reach other states.
DeleteThanks for reading :)
Glad to know they have opened here and with such reasonable prices too.
ReplyDeletewww.wurassecrethair
The prices are actually the best thing about it all! N3,500 for foundation! I'm glad they maintained the price point!
DeleteThis is great! We can learn a lot from maybelline's experience in Nigeria. BIL, don't you think their relationship with Tara (via L'Oreal) slowed them a bit.
ReplyDeleteI don't think so actually. Although I did not understand the affiliation, I felt it helped them reach more people because H.O.T. have got stores nationwide.
DeleteThanks a lot for this BIL, your posts are always very helpful. I shared it with some of my female colleagues and we are planning a trip there lol
ReplyDeleteYay Maybelline NG!!
Haha! Love it! I love going makeup shopping with my girlfriends, always more fun.
DeleteThanks so much for reading my blog and sharing it with your colleagues :)
I'm glad to have found this post. So happy with their prices tbh! Thanks for sharing, definitely informative.
