As you know I love
Sponge Ladi Avokanto (reviewed
here), and have used this beautiful oil for a long time now. A while ago I had been told by a Sponge Rep that the company was supposed to be repackaging the line, and I noticed that the stock at Barneys continued to dwindle. I was just thinking about ordering another bottle- so I went to the Barneys website to place an order, and they no longer have Ladi Avokanto or any other Sponge products listed on their website. I was able to order a small bottle from
Sephora (which made me happy), but I am now tempted to order another because this is one of my favorite face oils and I don't want to run out in the interim while waiting for them to repackage. If you use and love Ladi Avokanto and are running low- then you may want to do what I did and get another bottle before they become harder to find. I don't have any information about when the repackaged line will hit the shelves, but I don't want to run out while waiting.
The small bottles ( $60.00 for 1 oz.) are still available from
Sephora and
Dermstore, and the large bottles ($100.00 for 1.7 oz.) are still available at
Dermstore. (Affiliate links).

What was wrong with the old packaging??!!! I really thought it was elegant & suited the brand!! Hope they don't go crazy & do plastic bottles or something. Happy you got your backup :-) xo
ReplyDeleteI have no idea, Gummy-- I love the old packaging! I definitely wanted to grab a backup- because you never know how long these things will actually take!! :-) xoxo
DeleteI called Barney's in New York to ask about it and was told it will be back in around 6 months
ReplyDeleteLet's hope that it happens that quickly! They have been talking about the repackaging for a long time, and they ran out of the Krema Lambrini a really long time ago and it still hasn't come back. An overhaul this big could take a while and I just don't want to be out, sad and waiting!!!
DeleteGo to sponge.com and u can order anything u want. I find it interesting that consumers often do not order directly from the companies and choose to use the retail stores.
ReplyDeleteSponge has prohibitively expensive shipping charges in the US. It is a flat fee of $10.00- which is a lot if you are ordering a $30.00 cleanser or a $60.00 face oil. That is why I order from a retail stores who offer free shipping. I know that is the case for my friends who use Sponge products as well.
DeleteIf you put this in your FAVORITES list at Dermstore you can then get 10% off. On a $100 item that's $10.
ReplyDeleteOh, Marcia-- I should have done that!!!!!!!! You are such a very smart cookie! <3
