The Most In-Demand Beauty Brands On Second-Hand Goods Sites

• Dior, Avon and Chanel are the most popular beauty brands to resell on Vinted, according to new research.
• CoverGirl, MAC and Urban Decay products could sell fastest on Vinted, as the brands have the highest number of followers, while Skinny Tan, Nip + Fab and Baylis & Harding may take longer. 
• Beauty lovers could sell their unwanted and unused cosmetics for an average of $25.60 per item!

New research has revealed which beauty brands are best for making money from your unwanted cosmetics.

Cosmetic surgery information site Tajmeeli has analysed thousands of Vinted product listings to reveal which beauty brands are most available on the site and which are most in demand with buyers!

Of all the beauty brands we analysed, Dior, Avon and Chanel had the highest number of listings on Vinted. As of July 2022, there were 216,300 Dior products available, 210,800 Avon products and 141,600 Chanel products*.

The analysis also looked at the number of followers each beauty brand has on Vinted. The most sought-after cosmetic brands amongst Vinted users are Dior (152,100 fans), Chanel (151,200 fans) and MAC Cosmetics (124,300 fans). 

So how does demand compare to the availability of products? CoverGirl, MAC and Urban Decay have the fewest number of available products on Vinted compared to the number of fans of the brands on the platform. 

Topping the list is CoverGirl, with the equivalent of 0.2 products available per fan! In second place is MAC with 0.7 products per follower, closely followed by Urban Decay with 0.8 items available. The results mean buyers could face stiff competition to secure their must-have cosmetics.

It’s bad news if you’re hoping to sell unwanted Skinny Tan, Nip + Fab or Baylis & Harding beauty items. The three brands had the lowest number of fans vs. available products, suggesting that products may take longer to sell due to decreased demand. 

For every follower of Skinny Tan on Vinted, there are a staggering 68 products! Likewise, Nip + Fab has 64 products per fan, while Baylis & Harding takes third place with 50 products per follower. 

The research also looked at the average selling prices of new beauty products from each brand on eBay.com, to give an indication of how much can be made across selling platforms.

Topping the list is GHD with an average selling price of $105.29. This is perhaps unsurprising, when you consider the higher price point of the hair styling tools. In second place is Bath & Body Works with an average resale price of $44.45. 

Interestingly, Bath & Body Works products have a slightly higher price tag than third place premium beauty brand, Chanel ($43.86). Overall, across all the brands, beauty products can sell for an average of $25.60 per item.
