Something I learn from a beauty products sales manager



Yes, it has been the longest interval since I posted something on my blog, Reason is, I just been lazy and no motivation. Few days ago, I thought maybe I should start again and see how it goes.. hahahah

2 days ago as I ran out of my Spot Corrector serum so I decided to replenish another bottle. After using it for about 3 weeks, honestly I begin to see my dark spots has been lightened and the effect is quite good. They are many others kind of serums or correctors (for hydrating, lines refining, etc) I have not tried. After making a purchase, the young and sweet looking sales girl offered  me some choices of other serums in sample size. I was particularly interested in one of them but it only last for 7 days usage in a sachet . Unfortunately, as I know for serum to take effect and to see result, it need at least 2 to 3 weeks of regular application. So now my question is, how do I decide whether to purchase the serum in full bottle after testing the sample as the amount is not enough for me to experiment the result. Out of curiosity, I asked the sales girl. I can tell she wasn't prepared for this question so she looked at her manager in dismay. Her manager turned to me with a smile and said," the serum sample is to test whether it will cause irritating or allergy after using it."  Strangely, after her reply I feel like a Mouse that use to test on this product if I use this sample. Isn't it? Obviously, I didn't choose this serum sample as I suppose I prefer sample that can prove result after using it. If not what is the reason of sampling a product. Don't you agree?

In conclusion, I think beauty products retailers who offer samples should consider provide sufficient quantity to prove result (even though result can be varies) rather than only testing for allergy. Well... is just my thought.
