Since when did a waitlist become beauty’s new normal? One Vogue writer investigates.
Summer after summer, I have put myself on the waitlist for New York City’s Shakespeare in the Park . I have waited for Rubirosa’s pizza and Mansur Gavriel’s ballerinas . But most recently, I played the waiting game for Biologique Recherche’s, a complexion purifying and stabilizing mask so good, it garnered a three-month waitlist earlier this year when a fraction of the expected import arrived in the U.S. from France.
“Can’t,” for this established independent operation, boils down to the very admirable notion of “won’t”—quality control. The formulation requires a special fermentation process, and that process takes time. Three years into the company’s run, the serum has sold out six times. And when its much-anticipated second product, Active Treatment Essence,, the projected three months’ stock sold out in three days. After subsequently being back on shelves for three weeks, it’s now sold out again until September.
