Sorry, It's Discontinued
Sorry, It’s Discontinued takes you behind the counter of the luxury beauty, fragrance, and fashion retail world. Hosted by Hilary, a former business manager with over 25 years in brands like Chanel, Tom Ford, Clarins, and Prescriptives, this binge-worthy series is full of retail stories, discontinued makeup nostalgia, and insider perspectives from high-end department stores.
The first 10 episodes introduced listeners to some of the incredible people working in the industry. Now, the podcast shifts deeper — into the real experiences of what it’s like behind the counter as a beauty professional, and sometimes in front of it as a customer navigating the world of luxury sales.
From the heartbreak of a favorite lipstick being discontinued, to corporate store visits, gift-with-purchase strategies, and the unfiltered truth about working in retail, Hilary delivers stories that are honest, funny, and relatable. She dives into the daily realities of beauty advisors, style advisors, makeup artists, freelance artists, and commission-based associates, sharing the glamour, the grit, and everything in between.
This is for my retail family — and for all of us who are customers and want to know what really happens behind the counter. Have a seat and join us, with new episodes every Thursday and even more juicy stories on the way.
