Now setting all of that aside, does the words like formula, staple, function, and efficient ever enter into your mind? Well, let's honestly discuss it--shall we??
The beauty business is BIG BUSINESS these days trying to be the first of its kind in offering you, what they think is the best out there. Everyone wants a piece of the PIE, but is it worth paying for?
Let's compare in what drives us as a consumer, makeup lover, and artist in spending our hard work dollars making room in our lives for products that satisfy our hunger for the very best! As a artist, product tester and reviewer myself, it can become overwhelming in what is available.
Many companies reel us in by packaging, pleasing our eye, next it may be fragrance capturing our senses, and here comes .....what it can do for you. We are privileged to have so many at our finger tips that we forget what and why we were looking in the first place. Does that sound familiar?
If it does, then may I suggest that you make a detailed list of your most used products and their benefits to your life of beauty. Good points to consider is their function, formula, efficiency, and if it's a required staple in completing your overall look. Developing our own opinions are very important versus listening to the person being endorsed and even paid.
When you see so many individuals forming the same opinions, language, becoming robotic it becomes boring, frustrating, and down right unoriginal! Seeing an honest review, showcasing an undiscovered or under rated product it's an refreshing experience that I welcome.
We can lose sight of originality not realizing the very company that we purchased from has lost their desire in formulating a great product and are just putting out a very watered down version of what use to be. Their mission and passion became lost in trying to serve a population of undereducated consumers/followers looking at trends versus true quality.
We are on a brink of an age of an "PRODUCT RENOVATION REVOLUTION". And from what I have seen there are many that do not mind spending dollars on the very best. Just make sure you are at an advantage and not a disadvantage when expecting a high performance in appearance.
Don't get caught up in the hype or the driven force telling you to run out to buy it unless it meets your needs while saving your pocket. Many products sit in our drawers, kits, and on shelves that only captured our attention in the beginning losing our interest .
Sometimes, we have to become a better consumer in voicing what we need. We must educate ourselves on knowing and recognizing a true quality product rather than being like everyone else. Trends come and go, but quality lasts forever!!
What is important to you?
I truly hope by reading this, that I was able to help in giving you a different perspective in how you buy and use your products. Our time, money and energy is very important! Support companies that work hard for you and not for the sake of becoming a mention of an uneducated insta-fame consumer using products incorrectly.
Thank you for reading this long post, lol..
Much love and hugs,
JOY
