We have never quite understand why it is that perfume commercials have to be so overtly sexual. Sometimes they just border on silly as far as we are concerned. We like this quick spoof commercials we found on Youtube very much.
It could function as a nice satire of the the atrocious marketing campaign of Calvin Klein's new CKIn2U perfume. TechnoSexual indeed.
We took a trip to Chicago this weekend. In order to avoid checking our bags we decided to forgo bringing most toiletries with us. Instead we went to a local Walgreens and picked up sample sizes of shampoo and conditioner. We ended up with Pantene-Pro-V and truth be told we had forgotten just how great it was.
Something about the scent evokes simpler times. It brings a smile to our face for reasons we can't just discern. We couldn't help but giggle and say "don't hate me because I'm beautiful" as we lathered up just like Kelly LeBrok. Though our hair certainly isn't nearly that big.
Having plump lips seems to be something of an obsession these days. And according to this Japanese Sheisido commercial for their soft color lipsticks it is the best way to capture a man.
Aside from the curious trampoline metaphor (your lips must be springy now too?) we find ourselves wondering about the implications of this capturing technique.
If a man just has to fall into your big plump soft lips we imagine he probably
doesn't want to accidentally
drown in a stinging vat of DuWop Lip Venom.
Unless of course you are doing your best Venus Fly Trap impression. Actually these flowers do look a little bit like made-up lips. And the Japanese have always been fond of that very unsettling dentata thing in their anime.
Finding the perfect shade of red lipstick has clearly been an obsession for a long time if this Coty Red Lipstick commercial from the 1950 is any indication. We literally cannot tell the difference between the 12 or so shades they show us. But they all look equally alluring.
We aren't quite sure how to recover the lost art of truly red lipstick but we do think that this Guerlain KissKiss Lipstick in Folie De Grenat is as close to classic as they come. The gold casing makes it something any girl would feel good about pulling out of her best clutch.
