Drug Store vs. High End

RO : 

Aloha, gagici.

Din pacate, timpul nu este prietenul meu, si din aceasta cauza reusesc, cu greu, sa ma tin de pasiunea mea, scrisul. In momentul acesta ma uit la Hitch(Consilier in amor) si mi-a deschis apetitul de a scrie. Vreau sa scriu un despre produsele drugstore vs. high end.  Eu sunt pasionata de make-up si inclin spre toate produsele posibile; recunosc cu nonsalanta ca am cumparat, pentru ca ma atrageau vizual, si produse chinezesti si....minune, n-am avut nicio reactie urata. Nu incurajez sa cumparati produse de 3 lei, insa eu am tot experimentat pentru ca... nu ma pot abtine.
Revenind la subiect, exista, bineinteles, argumente pro si contra pentru fiecare din aceste categorii. " You don't believe in the product, you just sell it!"-replica din Hitch ce  m-a pus pe ganduri. Credeti ca noi avem nevoie de machiaj? de atatea produse? Eu cred ca nu. Imi dau seama ca strategia de vanzari a produselor de make-up merge pe principiul crearii unei nevoi acolo unde aceasta nu exista. S-a creat standardul cat mai inalt, iar apoi noi incercam sa-l atingem si uite asa mai cumparam un Power Fabric, un Fenty sau un Revlon desi mai avem vreo trei pe acasa. :))

Si uite asa, cu 1001 de produse acasa, eu recomand produse drugstore. Sunt accesibile, sunt de o calitate superioara si iti ofera acelasi look pe care l-ai obtine cu Huda sau Anastasia. Eu inclin la produse de make-up spre drugstore, iar cu privire la ingrjirea tenului, inclin spre produse high end.

Produsele de make-up high end sunt la superlativ, asa spun unii, insa eu cred ca nu trebuie sa dai 200 lei pe o paleta de farduri cu 8 culori, care, pe tenul fiecaruia dintre noi, reactioneaza intr-un anumit fel din cauza ph-ului pielii. Este evident ca un make-up artist iti va sugera doar produse de acest gen deoarece ei lucreaza cu astfel de produse, iar orice recomandare este subiectiva. Stiti, frumusetea este in ochii privitorului; asa este si cu produsele  acestea: eu sunt multumita de Revlon, iti recomand Revlon, altcineva este multumit  de Estee Double Wear, ti-l recomanda.

Concluzie: calitatea este discutabila la ambele categorii de produse, pretul produselor de high-end nu se justifica( de obicei se cumpara si numele, ex. Power Fabricul de la Armani care e similar cu Revlon, insa diferenta pretului e uimitoare si nejustificativa), nevoie nu avem de make-up, insa cand suntem bombardate cu fel si fel de clipuri pe instagram sau acesti beauty  vloggers  fac recomandari imediat ce primesc anumie produse, este inevitabil sa nu iti doresti sa cumperi. Eu asta fac. :)) Guilty pleasures! ❤

Unfortunately, time is not my friend, and that's why I hardly manage to keep up with my passion, which is writing. At this moment I’m watching Hitch and it opened my appetite to write. I am passionate about make-up and my inclination towards all possible products made me (I admit it) buy, even Chinese products and ... surprise, surprise, I did not have any ugly reaction. I do not encourage you to buy low cost products, but I have experienced it because ... I cannot help myself.

Returning to the subject, there are, of course, pros and cons for each of these categories. "You do not believe in the product, you just sell it!" – this replica of Hitch that made me think. Do you think we need makeup? Or so many products? I think not. I realize that the strategy of selling make-up products goes on the principle of creating a need where it does not exist. The highest standard was created, and then we try to touch it, and so we buy a Power Fabric foundation, a Fenty or a Revlon, although we still have three at home. :))

And so, with 1001 home products, I recommend drugstore products. They are affordable; they are of superior quality and they give you the same look that you get with Huda or Anastasia. I incline to make-up to drugstores products, and in regard to skin care, I’m inclining to high end products.

High-end make-up products are superlative, some say, but I think you do not have to give 200 lei to an 8-color make-up palette, which on the type of skin of each one of us reacts in a certain way because of our skin ph. It is obvious that a make-up artist will only suggest you products of this kind quality because they work with such products and any recommendation is subjective. You know, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder; so it's with these products: I'm happy with Revlon, I recommend you to buy Revlon, someone else is happy with Estee Double Wear, and she recommends it.

Conclusion: Quality is questionable in both product categories, the price of high-end products is not warranted (usually the name is bought, e.g. the Armani Power Fabric that is similar to Revlon, but the price difference is amazing and unjustified) we do not need make-up, but when we are bombarded with some sort of clips on instagram or these beauty bloggers make recommendations as soon as they receive some products, it is inevitable to avoid that feeling of buying new products, even if you don’t need them. That's what I do J
