Jami's Cosmetics Challenges

Dear Cosmetic Manufacturers, especially nail polish makers, I've been seeing quite a selection of cosmetics in my current line of work. I am glad to see that you are always trying to create newer and better products, but I think we need to have a little chat. First of all, the following are NOT colors: Lace, Witty, Brilliant, Shimmery and Flirt. Maybe you can make a case for "Whore" as a color, but only in lipsticks. Telling me that the nail polish color is "True Love" does not indicate to me the shade my nails will be when I'm done painting. Also, "Birthday Girl" - again, not a color. Secondly, I'm all for natural ingredients, but let's try to keep it somewhat sensible, shall we? Why do I want "real arctic blueberries" in my mascara? That sounds sticky and unpleasant. I don't need vitamins in my shampoo, hair is dead. It might absorb certain things, but vitamins are probably not going to help it. Actually I don't really want real strawberries in my strawberry conditioner or actual vanilla in my deodorant. I just like to smell like it, not wear it, ya know? Just saying. Thanks, Jami
