- (1:00) - ULTA and e.l.f. Beauty
- (3:30) - Are They Amazon-proof?
- (7:30) - Sales Outlook: Episode Round-up
On today’s episode of Shopping for Stocks, Editor Maddy Johnson takes a look at a giant within the cosmetics industry, and its burgeoning competitor: Ulta Beauty Inc. (ULTA - Free Report) and e.l.f. Beauty (ELF - Free Report) .
Ulta and e.l.f. are two different kinds of beauty retailers. The former houses and sells all of your favorite brands, from higher-end splurges to drugstore finds that won’t hurt your wallet. E.l.f., which stands for eyes, lips, and face, is a makeup brand company, and sells all of your must-have beauty products at dirt cheap prices.
While they differ from each other, Ulta and e.l.f. share one common factor, besides being in the beauty industry: they’re seemingly Amazon-proof.
Why? Because many consumers still want to look good, and Ulta and e.l.f. help them do this in a fresh and inexpensive way.
In general, beauty products, both in stores and online, are continually moving off shelves, making these two cosmetics retailers standouts in a struggling retail environment. As we all know, Amazon (AMZN - Free Report) dominates the industry, but it hasn’t been able to crack the beauty sector, at least not yet.

More Stock News: 8 Companies Verge on Apple-Like Run
Did you miss Apple's 9x stock explosion after they launched their iPhone in 2007? Now, 2017 looks to be a pivotal year to get in on another emerging technology expected to rock the market.

A bonus Zacks Special Report names this breakthrough and the 8 best stocks to exploit it. Like Apple in 2007, these companies are already strong and coiling for potential mega-gains. Click to see them right now >>
Zacks Names "Single Best Pick to Double"
From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.
It’s a little-known chemical company that’s up 65% over last year, yet still dirt cheap. With unrelenting demand, soaring 2022 earnings estimates, and $1.5 billion for repurchasing shares, retail investors could jump in at any time.
This company could rival or surpass other recent Zacks’ Stocks Set to Double like Boston Beer Company which shot up +143.0% in little more than 9 months and NVIDIA which boomed +175.9% in one year.
