Marketing, Promotion and Value of money...
Today a few minutes ago I was seeing 68$ Gucci foundation review by Jeffree Star and I was kinda shocked. Well, actually not shocked, I was speechless thinking am I the only one who is thinking that who will pay 68$ just for a foundation or I am poor who can't afford 68$ foundation.
Okay, I love makeup and makeup products and I have an idea of all types of brands and products from drug stores to high end. I know the consumers of high-end products too but people like me just watch the reviews and release a long breathe that's all. Sigh because I have to work a lot to gather 68$ in a month where some make millions per hour.
I know there are many people around the world who work hard every day for 68$ and this 68$ means a lot to them... Anyway, this is how the world works, the rich get rich and the poor stay poor. Don't feel offended or don't feel bad, I am trying to understand the exact scenario.
My dad used to say, money doesn't fly or money doesn't grow on the trees and I used to think why he says that all the time. Now, I can understand why he used to say that, the individual who understands the reality of life, understand the value of money...
I know many will happily pay 68$ for Gucci foundation because they can afford that just like we are happy with drugstore products. I often think what can be the difference between 6$ worth of water and 20$ worth of water. In the end, you are getting water but some are paying 6$ and some paying 20$. If I buy a 1-litre bottle of water from a store it costs me around 1-2$ but if I go to a restaurant 1/2 litre bottle of water cost me around 6$, same brand same water but it's a fine dining restaurant. Maybe brand and restaurant matters.
I rarely find honest reviews on youtube when it comes to talking about makeup products so I don't believe any of these products until I do my own research. I must say these brands do nice paid promotion of course but I don't know about Jeffree.
Today I was checking a blogger's blog where she was saying how she feels when she sees how people believe in paid promotion and ready to pay $$$. She also mentioned that there is no value for honest opinions, people like hype, trends and promotion and without doing any research, they just spend thousands of $$.
After all branding, marketing matters...

People are so plastic these days and they will pretty much say anything about anything for a quick buck.
Yes, I noticed that, and yes I feel they are just a plastic doll... hahaaha...
