As you can see from my photie,I have no use for cosmetics having being blessed from birth with an uncanny beauty.
However I do recall when I worked at a department store I was puzzled by the fact that the "Beauty Dept" was at the front entrance and I noticed that this was common to department stores.I questioned this as I was trying to see where profits were being made so as to maximise my input to the businness.It was all new to me having come from a background in heavy engineering.Anyway the answer form the MD was that girlies did not buy a new dress everyday but they did buy a new face and so these beauty counters made a big big profit.There was an enormous throughput of stock, way more than in any other section of the business. I can see where the problem for the oceans comes from as the volume of oils and ungents and concoctions used by the female race is mind boggling and it all gets washed down the drains at least once a day!!
Do they still use the smelly wax from whales tummies to fix perfume?
