Consumer-isms

Today I bought this shampoo and conditioner that I've never tried before. It said at the bottom, "FOR DRY FRIZZY HAIR THAT'S FINE."

Well, jeesh. You don't have to say it like that, shampoo bottle! Whatever happened to "Adds Volume" or "For Shiny Hair that Won't Act Dull"?

It seems like usually you buy beauty products based on physical attributes you want to have, not those you actually possess. No one wants to purchase a lip plumping lipstick that says, "For thin upper lips!"

So, I guess...thanks for the honesty, Loreal, or whichever CVS brand that had the guts to just tell me it like it is. Thanks for keeping my personal hygiene real, and my voluminous hair aspirations grounded.

I need to loan you my Redken Carbo-Bodifier. Next time we go out, come over here first and we will big-ify our skinny hair.
