Promotional collaborations between ELLE magazine and the beauty brand Charlotte Tilbury have triggered significant consumer demand and supply shortages in Italy and Spain.

In Italy, the release of a magazine bundled with a Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Light Wand at a heavily discounted price led to massive demand, long queues, and rapid stock depletion. This scarcity fueled a secondary resale market on platforms like Vinted and Subito, where prices reached up to ten times the original cost.

Similarly, in Spain, the promotion caused widespread scarcity and consumer frustration. Local vendors reported distribution delays, and the limited print run of 60,000 copies was insufficient to meet the viral interest generated by the offer.
