LIPSTICK IN CASE OF CRISIS








Mirad que artículo más interesante he encontrado en mis lecturas económicas:

'An indicator based on the theory that a consumer turns to less expensive indulgences, such as lipstick, when she (or he) feels less than confident about the future. Therefore, lipstick sales tend to increase during times of economic uncertainty or a recession.'

Dice que en momentos de crisis, como estos, el consumidor tiende a gastarse el dinero en indulgencias menos caras, como pueden ser pintalabios, cuando no está seguro de lo que pasará en futuro. Por eso, las ventas de pintalabios aumentan durante temporadas de retrocesión o crisis!

La verdad es que, a mi, no me hace falta estar en crisis por gastarme el dinero en pintalabios y cosméticos, de hecho que la motivación es: No puedes gastarte demasiado dinero en joyas, zapatos, vestidos.... pues con poquitos gastos y un toque de pintalabios puedes ir preciosa y chic, aunque llevando un par de tejanos de H&M.

The truth is, that I don't need to feel the crisis to spend my money on lipsticks and cosmetics, I always did and always will, crisis or not crisis. The real reason of this is that: you cannot afford those beautiful shoes or that fancy dress, well at least you can wear your shining new lipstick, be gorgeous and chic even wearing a pair of H&M jeans.

well..maybe because im a marketing wmn, that this is not a new for me and i dont need studies to know that. In my case, i dont buy a lot of clothes, I prefere to buy some dome pieces from the streetwear brands i love most now and then..of course crisis affects us all, specially when I just arrived here and my first salary is really tinny...so I go to H&M and Sephora and buy dope eye shadows and lipsticks, flashy earrings, or even shinny collants from A.Apparel.. it all makes sense ..
