There's A Secret At Midnight

For those who don’t have much interest in beauty products, you may find this post kind of boring. But then again, maybe not. Because its always amusing to read how some people will believe anything you tell them; even if what you tell them sounds so far-fetched and totally unbelievable.

(I take after my father in that he use to LOVE to pull people's legs)

First, I’ve got to say that the beauty item I’m about to share with you is in fact an outstanding product because it truly does what it claims.

It REALLY works.

(and it should for $115.00)

When I first moved back to Philly, I had the opportunity to be a representative for Guerlain, which is a cosmetic, skincare, and fragrance company from France.

I think out of all the various divisions within Guerlain, skincare is their strongest division. They offer some of the most effective skin treatments on the market.

Take for instance, Midnight Secret, which is a late night recovery treatment that works while you sleep. It detoxifies, replenishes and oxygenates your skin, repairing and counteracting signs of fatigue. You'll wake to a radiant and refreshed complexion.

Similar to that radiant and refreshed complexion you receive after having a 4-hour marathon of wild, multi-climactic sex with the man or woman you love.

So, on second thought, you can save yourself $115.00 by just doing BOOM-BOOM at midnight.

Honesty though, the first time I tried Midnight Secret and then glanced at myself in the mirror the following morning, my skin had a youthful glowing appearance, similar to Brad Pitt in the movie “Thelma and Louise.”

(Okay…perhaps that’s a slight exaggeration)

However, I did see a difference in my skin. It appeared refreshed, more even, and brighter. My under eye dark circles also seemed less noticeable.

One of things I never really understood about his product was WHY they chose to call it Midnight Secret. The operative word being Midnight.

So, I decided to make up my own reason, by telling customers who were thinking about purchasing it, that the only way this product would work was if they applied it at the stroke of midnight.

I remember sharing this with a customer one afternoon….

I said, “Now listen, I cannot stress this enough. You must, and mean MUST apply this product at midnight SHARP, or it won’t work.”

She said, “What do you mean it won’t work?”

“Well, if you apply it before midnight it will be too early, making your skin look worse. And if you apply after midnight it won’t do a damn thing, because it’s too late.

She looked at me in total confusion and said, “But, I normally go to bed around 10:30, so what am I going to do?”

I said, “You’re going to have to change your bedtime, or can forget about purchasing this product.”

Then I paused slightly, smiled, and busted out into laughter saying, “HA!…GOTCHA!”

(laughing) She said, “Oh my god, I thought you were telling me the truth!”

She ended up buying Midnight Secret, yet I couldn’t help but imagine if what I had told her was partially true.

I mean what if she applied Midnight Secret at 10:30 instead of midnight….

Ooops!

Wishing you a gorgeous weekend everyone!
