Alright, alright, let me tell ya ’bout this here… whatchamacallit… cosmetics brand that sounds like a dessert. Yeah, that’s it. Now, I ain’t no fancy city gal, ya know? I’m just a plain ol’ woman, but even I know a thing or two ’bout lookin’ good, and these young’uns, they sure love their makeup and sweet treats.
So, this thing, this… “cosmetics brand that sounds like dessert,” it got me thinkin’. Why in the world would they name makeup after somethin’ you eat? Makes no sense, right? But then I thought, maybe it ain’t so crazy after all.
- Think about it, girls like sweet stuff.
- They like pretty colors.
- Makeup’s got pretty colors, too.
See? Maybe them city folks ain’t so dumb after all. They know how to get them girls spendin’ their money, that’s for sure. They probably thinkin’, “Hey, if we make it sound like candy, they’ll eat it up!” And you know what? They probably right.
Now, I ain’t used much makeup in my day. A little bit of rouge for church, that’s about it. But these young girls, they slap on all sorts of stuff. Eyeshadow, lipstick, foundation… Lord have mercy, I don’t even know what half of it is. But if it makes ’em feel pretty, I guess that’s alright. Ain’t hurtin’ nobody.
But back to this dessert business. I heard tell of some of them brands. There’s one, somethin’ like “Candy something or other,” and another one, “Sugar Lips” maybe? I can’t rightly remember, my memory ain’t what it used to be. But they all sound like somethin’ you’d find in a candy store, not a makeup counter.
And the colors! Oh, the colors are somethin’ else. They got pink like cotton candy, purple like grape soda, brown like chocolate… you name it, they got it. It’s like they tryin’ to make you wanna eat the stuff, not put it on your face. But I guess that’s the point, ain’t it? Make it sound good, make it look good, and them girls will buy it up.
I tell ya, these city folks, they smart. They know how to sell things. They take somethin’ simple, like makeup, and make it sound all fancy and delicious. And the girls, they fall for it every time. Can’t blame ’em, I guess. We all want to feel pretty, and if a little bit of “Sugar Plum Lipstick” or “Chocolate Kiss Foundation” helps, then why not?
Now, I ain’t sayin’ it’s right or wrong. I’m just sayin’ it’s clever. They got them girls thinkin’ they can have their cake and eat it too. Or in this case, have their makeup and look like a sweet treat, too. And who am I to judge? I like a good piece of pie myself. Maybe that’s why they call it a “pie chart” in them business meetings. Always thinkin’ ’bout food, them city folk.
So, there ya have it. My two cents on this here “cosmetics brand that sounds like a dessert” thing. It’s all about makin’ somethin’ sound appealing, makin’ it sound like somethin’ you just gotta have. And if it works, well, good for them. They get rich, and the girls get to feel pretty. Everybody wins, I guess. Except maybe for their pocketbooks, but that’s a whole ‘nother story for a whole ‘nother day.
Just remember, though, girls, true beauty ain’t about what you put on your face. It’s about what’s inside. But hey, if a little bit of “Strawberry Blush” helps you feel good about yourself, then go for it. Just don’t go eatin’ it, alright? It ain’t real dessert, no matter how much it sounds like it.
