bobbie brown

Sometimes, in order to manage the overall shopping experience is to eliminate or delaying certain type of experience… for as long as you could get away without it. 

Me and the Bobbie Brown (cosmetic brand) shopping experience :: I knew it would be great, I knew it would be fun, flattering, enjoyable plus more… and that’s exactly the reason I am trying so hard to avoid myself getting near to that glittery cool black concession counter (despite my eye-concealer almost runs out).

But I loose it at last.  I accompanied a girlfriend to attend the BB free makeup lesson tonight – she has the coupon for the times of the makeup consultant but not the products we ended up buying.  Total spend of over hundreds of pounds… ssssshizer!!!  

Giving away free makeup lesson coupons are such clever strategy to lure for easy sales.  It’s like scheduling a timeslot for one-to-one (even better in our case, one-to-two) customers selling opportunity. With the customers already biased in fav of the products, our sales consultant has a relatively easy task to close deal.

Was it me?

The bf had lunch with few of his friends @ Midhurst Pizza Express this afternoon. He then grabbed home a piece of literature to show me on skype and directed me to the following website…

Look at that girl with reindeer ears!!!!!  For a moment I doubted myself – when did I have that photograph taken??  Was it from the Santa-Con last year since I’m sure I have that hairband somewhere in the (bf’s) flat!!  I then showed me mummy the picture and she asked the same question too… I mean, the girl in the picture really does look like me!!!!!  Same hair style, same eye-bags, even same shape of the face (80% +++)…..

After me realising that could not be me, I found the whole thing a little bit amusing.  That, Pizza Express is using an Oriental looking person to star their Xmas promotional material at home, in the UK market.  It says about “who” they are trying to target as customers this Christmas…

The cures

Was a bit low this morning so me said to the bf :: I’m sick of dating the computer!!

Then I ignored him (skype) completely for the next 10, 15 minutes to do my sketches for this evening “artjamming is my bag” session. Me still very excited about the artjamming thing although it’s already my second time doing it. I think its brilliant for my LBP – since I’ll have photos of the actual painting to use (banner, prints, cards), a real carrying bag (more A&P stuff), and above all I know I’ll have fun painting on the canvas…

Once the sketches’ done, I looked up to the computer screen and there I saw my poor bf sitting on the sofa, doesn’t quite know what to say or do.  But he has these guys, the little “blue nose friends” lines up on the coffee table waiting for me attention. 

 

 Adorable.
