Beauty Products

Dry skin is no fun, try this lotion out and your skin will

never be dry again. A lot of ads for beauty products will have girls in the

Pictures that have flawless faces and their eyes are perfect there skin looks

like it has never seen a pimple before. What I see a lot of is

“clinically proven”. “ Smoother firmer skin as well”. These are just

a couple of sayings that I see a lot of in these ads. You see it for

lotions and foundations as well. Looking at Ads can be deceiving I think.

As I flip through my People, Elle, and Lucky

magazines I,am noticing certain things that catch my attention. The flashy

pictures showing the product on Taylor Swift, Pink, and other celebrities.

They use a lot of celebrities in these ads, making people think that it will

work cause they see their favorite celebrity is using the product. I see a

Origins ad and it says “clinically proven to heal dry skin”, along with

“Keeping your skin hydrated for a full 48hrs”. In this picture it shows a

plant of some sort and some water for the hydrating part. Then is goes into a

short summary of what the product can do for your skin telling you that your

skin could be dry because it’s lacking a molecule that their product carries.

Do you think the product really works? Or are they just trying to get you to

buy their product? Just because you see the flashy picture and the celebrity

you think to yourself, yes it will work.

As I look in the magazines I come across more beauty

products that have more celebrities telling you that one bottle help it all,

smoother face, no more lines covers evenly. Again you see that flawless

face the perfect eyes and you think that their product works cause if Ellen or

Taylor Swift uses it then it works. Covergirl, how many people actually use

it? A lot of people probably use it cause again they see

    The whole advertisement is misleading. Why? It gives a wrong impression. It says less wrinkles not every wrinkle will disappear, which is what the viewers have in mind that all the wrinkles will go away. Another misleading fact is that it says sixty minutes. Well what about if you leave it on for sixty minutes but it still hasn’t worked enough so you leave it longer but you think “Oh it’s just 10 minutes more”. They impress the viewer with the sixty minutes when that is not even realistic or possible maybe with a surgery you can have less wrinkles in some hours not with a lotion. Also the viewer doesn’t know what is in the lotion they just put it on because on the advertisement it says it works. The viewer may be putting something on their skin that can damage it permanently.…

    Throughout the ads that I reviewed there were many of "so called" expected consequences of using or not using the products advertised. For example, there is an ad for A ScrapBook for "Homely Women" Only that is dedicated for women who want to have unwanted facial or bodily features removed or hidden. This two-part book gives advice for ugly scars, mouths, fingertips, crooked teeth, unwanted freckles, pimples, moles, etc. The expected consequences of this product are to take a below average looking woman and turn her into an attractive woman. The slogan even read, "We dedicate this collection of toilet secrets, not to the pretty…

    Cheerleading is a bit insane let’s just be honest about the whole situation. It is even more insane when it is competitive cheer. It is different than high school in the sense that we do not cheer for a sport. There is a lot going on when getting ready, girls are applying a hefty amount of lipstick, it borders on looking like we are a bunch of clowns. Next is the eye makeup, well lets just say it should not be seen anywhere where there is shining, and people like to call it “stage makeup”. Let me just quickly touch on the amount of foundation that is applied to my face. With all the makeup used whether I’m on stage or up close no one would have any idea I am covered in freckles. Allow me to finish my little tyrant by mentioning the hair. Well, if you cannot tell already, in cheer the bigger the better and the same goes for the hair. We curl our hair, as if we are trying to imitate Shirley Temple. It is a blast. If my sarcasm is not apparent, I’ll just say I do not enjoy it. To say the least, getting ready for a cheer competition is not my favorite thing to do. However, there is one thing we all hold very sacred, one thing we will never complain about. It is something so simple that people may over look it, but the secret behind keeping this outrageous outfit together happens to be the one and only, hairspray.…

    Real Life Is Un Retouched

    While flipping through the March 2013 edition of Vogue magazine, I immediately stopped at this advertisement. The ad caught my eye from the big bold “Make Up For Ever” logo text at the top of the page. The model, who is absolutely flawless, grabbed attention from the moment I set eyes on her. The reason being is because her photo stands out from the stark black background that she is in front of. After the reader gets instantly drawn in from the photo of the model, the most effective part of the advertisement is the text that says “real life is unretouched, just like this ad”. That simple sentence is the only ammunition Make Up For Ever needs to reel in their readers to successfully sell their product. The ad is not cluttered, but perfectly laid out enough where the reader’s eyes go straight to the main point of the ad- the model’s skin.…
