Chapter 377 Want to capture the hearts of women in Quanyan County
The melon-eaters who had been watching at the door for a long time gradually dispersed. In less than an afternoon, Lin Wanwan's beauty, which specializes in rouge and gouache and serves women's families, became an unavoidable topic in the streets.
Let’s talk about the earth-shattering explosion first, and then let’s talk about the hair change that turns ugliness into beauty—oh no, the makeup technique, both of which are full of curiosity.
The maids and slaves sent by the noble families to buy things soon heard these gossips, and naturally regarded them as interesting stories and shared them with other colleagues in the house. They passed them around, and the master naturally knew about them.
Yesterday, many aristocratic women who had received invitations came to visit Hongyanxiao. They enjoyed the free facial mask service, but all declined the essential oils and the like, which required them to take off their clothes.
What they want most is actually the foundation that Lin Wanwan has already made a name for herself in Qiantang. However, this foundation is not available for sale. They must spend ten gold to recharge it and apply for a first-class VIP card before they are eligible to purchase it.
The foundation I chose is Lin Wanwan’s favorite crystal powder from the island lady brand. I have to say that the islanders are quite capable in producing these beauty products. Most of the products are very easy to use, especially the
Suitable for Orientals.
Compared with big-name brands in Europe and the United States, they are not so suitable for Asians. Since Lin Wanwan wants to sell in Datang, she naturally has to choose her favorite.
Of course, Lin Wanwan doesn't just recommend one product. After all, there are so many people in the world with different skin conditions, so she must give people a variety of choices. But she is currently using this crystal color powder cream as her signature product, and will wait for it later.
Add new products slowly.
Cosmetics are just like women's clothes. New styles must appear every season to stimulate everyone's desire for consumption.
In Hyundai, Lin Wanwan purchased it directly from Kaola.com. A bottle of 30g powder cream costs RMB 430 yuan. It is naturally not cheap to change the packaging and bring it to Datang.
Based on the purchasing power of the two dynasties, Lin Wanwan set the price at three guans and five hundred fen. For most aristocratic girls in Luan County who have two or three guans per month, this price is already higher than what they can afford for one month. It is absolutely
Luxury level, but not unacceptable.
But the problem is that Lin Wanwan's Hongyanxiao cosmetics shop does not sell powder directly! You must first spend a lot of money to join the association before you are eligible to buy it.
The ten gold required to join the membership is really not a small sum.
Don't look at TV shows where people pay for their meals with several taels of silver. In fact, in the Tang Dynasty, the amount of silver mined was very small, and it was used by the emperor as a reward and by the nobles as ornaments.
, it is not circulated as currency in the market.
If just having a meal costs a few taels of silver, then opening a restaurant will make you rich in minutes, and the wealth of the nobles will have changed hands long ago. Housewives hold a banquet for exchanges, and after using this expense, it is still about the same
.
In the fourth year of Zhenguan, one gold collar could be exchanged for about six guan, and ten gold equaled 60 guan.
Married women who have their own dowry and a small treasury given by their husband's family may be able to come up with this living money, but they also have to feel distressed. It is difficult for unmarried girls to take it out at once, and most of them have to use their own treasures.
jewelry or embroidery items.
This decision is really not one to be made lightly...
So yesterday they consumed some skin care products at Hongyanxiao. The categories of skin care products include the Tang Dynasty version made by Lin Wanwan herself using Chinese medicinal materials and pearls, as well as the high-tech version bought directly from Hyundai.
From young girls to old women, from hydrating to whitening, we have all kinds of skin care needs covered.
Although Lin Wanwan sets the prices of the items in the store to be expensive, she does not cheat them. The local version of Datang's products are all genuine materials, modern high-tech versions, and she also buys all famous brand products with reputation.
Because skin care products are not unique in Datang, and the seller's market for the local version is also very large, and this product is not like medical beauty, which can provide immediate results, so Lin Wanwan is not suppressed and does not sell it. It can be purchased without joining the membership, but it is optional.
There are relatively few categories.
Lin Wanwan divided Hongyanxiao's customers into three categories. One category was ordinary customers who did not top up.
Ordinary customers can buy the local version of Datang skin care products, or they can buy products with good reputations from mid-range brands such as Baicaoji, L'Oreal, Fulifangs, Haba, etc. selected by Hyundai Lin Wanwan from Hyundai.
You can buy popular high-end brands such as Lancôme, Estee Lauder, sk2, cpb and so on. You can also enjoy beauty, hair washing, bathing and other package services, as well as massage services.
You can purchase all the products and services in Hongyanxiao Shop, and also added two ultra-high-end products such as La Mer and Helena, as well as high-end products from Lancôme, Estee Lauder, sk2, cpb and other brands.
In addition, you can also choose modern makeup products that will give you immediate results, such as crystal powders in various colors, Givenchy's four-square loose powder, Shu Uemura's eyebrow pencil, Mao Geping's two-color concealer, etc. Lin Wanwan herself concluded that they are very useful.
Single product.
When used on the face, these makeups are definitely much better than the wall-pasting makeups of the Tang Dynasty. They are so beautiful that they are clearly visible. Lin Wanwan doesn’t believe that these noble ladies can bear to use them!
Lin Wanwan's experience of studying medicine with Mr. Sun and her status as a disciple of the "Hermit Master" are also very useful. The rouge gouache of the Tang Dynasty is not separated from the drug store, and most of it is made from medicinal materials.
Therefore, Lin Wanwan said that these were all made by herself, and no noble lady would doubt them.
Not only did she play on the public opinion of ugly girls turning into beauties, but she also distributed a set of skin care products and a set of makeup to all the maids in Hongyanxiao, and let them wear exquisite makeup as a living advertisement.
In the evening, Lin Wanwan did not return to Linjiazhuang, but rested in the main courtyard of Linzhai in Xiaoxi Town.
Xiao Qingyu has become a little tired of staying in the town these days. She feels that the city is not as fun as their Linjiazhuang, and she only brought a sea turtle and a little red horse with her in the animal army. She really misses them.
Linjiazhuang is so fun. It’s the beginning of the month and it’s low tide, so you can catch the sea!
But in the city, she was sent to the Wang family by Lin Wanwan during the day, and went to private school with several young men and young ladies from the Wang family, the Zhang family, and the Shi family. She could only see Lin Wanwan at night. It was really boring!
She missed her reading companions, the little crab, Daya and other friends, and her little elephant, the big white goose, and the little black muntjac!
While having dinner, Xiao Qingyu raised her little head and asked Lin Wanwan: "Mother, when are we going home?"
Lin Wanwan smiled: "This is your home too, don't you like it?"
Xiao Qingyu thought for a while and said, "Mom, I still like our old home."
Lin Wanwan laughed and was about to answer when Hongyan's voice sounded at the door: "Madam, Xiao Ming's Mansion has sent a famous assassin, and they are already at the door."
