A reading desk built on a working Buffalo beauty catalogue: what the products are, what they cost, and where they are stocked.

duplicates and profile pages

This page exists so a reader can check the site rather than trust it.

The source

Everything factual here comes from one place: the brand’s own published pages and product records. 427 catalogue entries, 16 pages of the brand’s own text and 12 stockist addresses were recovered and carried over. URLs were kept as they were, so a link that worked before still works.

The rule about missing values

Where the record has nothing, the page shows nothing. Eight entries have no recorded price and say so instead of showing a guess. Pages the brand left empty are not padded out. No date, figure or quotation appears on this site unless it appears in the source.

What was removed

199 addresses were taken out of the index: duplicate gallery pop-ups and the shop’s member profile pages, neither of which held content. Nothing that carried text was dropped, and no address was redirected anywhere else.

The numbers on the page

Counts, price ranges and medians are computed from the catalogue each time the site is built. The figure in the masthead and the figure in a section heading come from the same count, so they cannot disagree.

Corrections

A mismatch between a page here and the brand’s own record is a bug. Report one at [email protected] and say which page.

Written and edited by the Ebony Snow's desk

What the figures come from. Every product name, price, stock state and photograph on this site is taken from the brand’s own product records. Where a record is silent, the field is left off the page rather than filled in.

What the articles rest on. Each piece names the statute, the agency rule or the labeling standard it describes, and stays inside it. Figures, dates and thresholds are the ones in those documents.

What is not done here. Nothing in this catalogue is bought, sampled or tested by the desk. No product is scored or ranked against another, no placement is sold inside an article, and nothing on these pages is medical advice.
