Door Dash Cosmetics
You can now go online and order-up your cosmetics to have them delivered immediately via DoorDash. What? Yep, that’s right.
According to Drug Store News, the glam retailers Sally Beauty, Mac Cosmetics, and an expanded availability of Sephora are on board to partner with the fast food delivery services of DoorDash.
“We see consumers ordering from retail categories more than ever before and trying out new categories earlier in their DoorDash journey,” said Shanna Prevé, vice president of partnerships at DoorDash. “As consumers have higher demand and expectations for convenience and selection, we’re thrilled to connect merchant partners, like Sally Beauty and MAC, with people in new ways and unlock potential additional revenue. For consumers, we remain hyper-focused on providing unparalleled speed and service to meet their everyday needs whether it’s the last-minute beauty essentials or the viral must-have new products.” – Drug Store News.
First, I had no idea there was a site specifically for Drug Store News. Cool. I will add it to my list of reads to check in occasionally. Since Ulta wanted to join Mulvaney to pretend that men can be women, I no longer shop at Ulta. I buy via Amazon or from my local drugstore.
Secondly, I see DoorDash as a great way to get cosmetics quickly. For instance, if you forgot to pack your favorite lashes for your business trip and only realized it the morning of your big presentation. DoorDash is here to the rescue.
Not For Me
However, I probably won’t be using this service. 1) I don’t need it; I don’t even use it for fast food delivery at lunch, and 2) I like getting out and about.

Of course, you will pay for it, and pay for it big. DoorDash is expensive. I used it years ago and was shocked by the fees and extra costs. Our company gave us gift cards for DoorDash for one year, and that’s the only reason or time that I used the service.
But hey, if you are a young, hip, and cool influencer or content creator, go ahead.
There will be a lot more added to DoorDash other than cosmetics. They want to move away from being known for food delivery in 2024. You can also get your groceries delivered. I also think alcohol will be added soon, too. Unless it’s already being done, I am unsure.
While these types of delivery services can be convenient, I am afraid more and more of the younger generation is relying on them. I watched one short YouTube video in which a young person was doing her influence thing for the camera, needed some skincare, and didn’t want to leave her house. I’ll link it here. Granted, I am sure this was nothing but an influencer commercial for DoorDash.
As for me and my cosmetics, I’ll stick to getting in my own car and driving to the store. I need to get out and about from time to time.
