Turning to Turnaround

After trying the all natural shea butter series, I turned back to Clinique a few months ago. I still see the beauty of shea butter. I didn't like the added smells in the products. I always liked Clinique the best among all the commercial cosmetics simply because it's clinic-like and fragrance-less.

One day, I decided to get a couple of jars. And then one thing after another, I had my collection back in my cabinet. The sale's rep L is a beautiful girl in her 20s. Even at the peak of her allergy season, her face is glowing and her eyes are glaring. I would be a fool to believe it’s the Clinique products that make her ooze with youth. But I did allow myself to make that association every time I see her.

To encourage my consumption, L made a facial appointment for me today. A girl from the head office gave me a treatment according to my skin type. At the end of it, my face looked so smooth in the mirror. And it felt so good as if it would last forever. I wanted to get all the stuff she put on my face. The biggest irony is I already have all the products except one that she applied on my face.

Why don't I feel the same way every day I apply them myself? Do you think the magic was in her hands? Probably yes. One thing I leant today, a human touch does sell. I don't have faith in these products. I don't believe anything including it's newest and most popular Turnaround Concentrate can turn around my “double-D” (dry & dull) skin. I do need to feel good about doing something about it, this way or that way.
