So… let’s be honest… Have you ever seen an outrageous price on something and pretend you’re actually considering buying it? C’mon…I know you have! Especially in those ‘she-she’ salons where all of the barbie-dolls are parading around with their Prada bags and can barely make their “over-done” faces move without cracking? You’ve experienced legitimate sticker shock after seeing the $100+ price-tag for a teeny-weeny bottle of serum that you could squirt on your pinky about 5 times before the bottle runs dry? I mean … Whaaaat? Like I said earlier, it shouldn’t have to cost a million bucks to look like a million bucks… and it doesn’t.
Don’t feel bad girls. I’ve been there…haven’t we all?! Seriously, I was standing in the spa, trying to keep my face from twitching uncontrollably (can’t be good for fine lines; right?) and taking deep breaths (I mean…I already have high blood pressure) as I heard the sales associate tell me that the ridiculously high-priced product would make my skin “glisten.” Well, hells-bells, for $188 an ounce, does it have gold in it, I thought? So, I smiled, asked to take a look at the bottle, then sheepishly asked if I could take a photo of it…what the heck…go big or go home; right? And then I said I’d “think about it.”
Maybe not one of my proudest moments…but at the end of the day, I’m not going to compromise my scruples and lay out that kind of cash for something that SURELY I could figure out how to develop…perhaps even better! I’m not gonna lie. I prayed about this one. I researched. I sourced tons of products. I asked sooooo many questions. I experimented…over and over and over.
And with some good old fashioned chutzpah, determination, and luck…it worked out in the end. We’ve got this. Onward ladies … and gentlemen. Glisten is here!
