Shoppers are holding on tight to their wallets, yet still desire to make a “feel good” purchase.

Items reflecting their recession proof nature, such as reasonably priced cosmetics, e.g., Lip Gloss, are also doing quite well. MAC makeup reports their under $18 lipstick sales are doing extremely well. Other companies like JC Penny’s have also seen their value driven accessory sales grow.
