16 Cosmetics Store Secrets Employees Prefer Not to Reveal

At cosmetics points of sale, as well as in several stores, gift kits appear before a special date. When buying a product in a nice box, we rarely realize that we are paying more for packaging. By the way, if you choose such a kit, be sure to check the expiry dates of the cosmetics it contains: sometimes the products are not from recent batches.

Store employees are physically unable to try on all the products that come to them, and suppliers do not always provide additional information other than what is indicated on the packaging. Therefore, product descriptions on the side of the labels or in the flyer are in most cases not based on the personal experience of the employees, but on information taken from the internet. Therefore, do not blindly trust the descriptions.

Manufacturers often package products in fancy packaging. As a result, the price increases. Similar products can be right next door, but in a simpler, and of course, cheaper box. In that case, it’s very easy to overpay just because of the packaging. If you find products with similar names but in different packages, take a look at the composition to make sure you’re not paying too much.

Often, information on product labels says that to achieve the desired effect, you need to use them daily or even 2-3 times a day. But that might not be true. It’s probably just a way of encouraging you to use the product a lot and have to go back soon for another one. Needless to say, if the instructions are followed, it will happen pretty quickly. When using face creams and masks, it’s best to follow your own feelings and apply them as you see fit.
