The exquisite life of mass production has become a considerable business

Behind the need and being needed, there are often great business opportunities hidden. When Vlog, which focuses on exquisite daily life, has a group of qualified creators and a stable audience, this track has also HE Tuber attracted the favor of many brands.

Because in these videos that emphasize a beautiful lifestyle and high-quality life attitude, the products are not only strongly related to specific and exquisite life scenes, but the products themselves are also an important element in constructing the concept of "ideal life". Therefore, for brands, whether it is "planting grass" or conveying brand concepts, this type of video is a cost-effective carrier.

However, not all products can be strongly associated with it. The business cooperation of exquisite lifestyle bloggers is mainly concentrated in categories such as beauty and skin care, coffee and healthy drinks, personal care, and aromatherapy. Under these categories, bloggers People generally tend to choose products with high customer unit prices to maintain the unity of video tonality. For example, brands such as Lancôme, Estee Lauder, Clinique, SkinCeuticals, and L'Occitane frequently cooperate with these bloggers.

Judging from the trend of brand placement, currently high-end brands in the fields of skin care and beauty also prefer to cooperate with bloggers who match their tonality. High-end luxury brands in categories such as clothing, jewelry, and watches are still more inclined to cooperate with celebrity artists. Therefore, for exquisite lifestyle bloggers, the categories and brands they can cooperate with are relatively limited.

Of course, some bloggers will choose to create their own brands after their IP accounts mature. For example, Zhuzi founded a personal women's clothing brand "TR She is hot", and blogger onnuk also created a personal fashion brand. However, self-created brands are a new business logic. The establishment of a new brand can indeed leverage the personal influence of bloggers initially, but in the long-term operation, brand positioning, product quality, supply chain, etc. must be solved. The problem.

"Building a brand is a big pitfall. If I could choose it over again, I would definitely not choose this one. Any Internet celebrity brand will not lack traffic in the first year. Your fans will support it. Generally, this kind of Internet celebrity brand Death always occurs in the second year." In an interview, Zhuzi said when talking about starting his own business. Blogger Liu Mengna, who has 678,000 fans on Station B, also chose to create her own brand, but it still ended in failure.

With the rise of live streaming, some bloggers will also get involved in live streaming to bring goods. This is not a replicable business path, because Vlog itself achieves the effect of planting grass by inadvertently creating a better life. The purpose of live streaming is very strong, which is essentially different from Vlog.

Moreover, live streaming can even have a backlash on bloggers’ trust and reputation. In May of this year, Vicky started her first live broadcast to bring goods, but the feedback from netizens was not friendly. Many people said, "Once the live broadcast starts, almost all the notes in the future will be about products to be brought," and "They don't dare to I believe in the so-called recommendation of good things.”

In addition, although many bloggers are also invited to participate in brand offline activities, the commercial conversion of such activities is actually very low, and such activities mainly invite fashion bloggers and celebrity artists.

So overall, although the commercialization of exquisite lifestyle bloggers has been relatively mature, the commercial realization channels are still very limited. Especially after more and more high-quality bloggers of the same type emerge, the reality of “more monks and less rice” has also prompted many bloggers to try to transform. But for bloggers with exquisite lifestyle styles, transformation is not an easy task, as it involves changes in the entire audience group and brand resources.

After the personality misalignment, the transformation dilemma of exquisite life bloggers

Generally speaking, after the blogger's video style and personality are determined, the audience group is basically formed, and the relationship between the blogger and his fans becomes increasingly stable. Exquisite life bloggers provide high-quality content, and fans consume the content to obtain emotional value. Brands find room to play in this stable relationship.

stable business closed loop is formed between bloggers, fans and brands. Once transformation is involved, it means that this stability must be broken and new relationships need to be re-established.

If the new content style is too different from the original audience needs, fans will feel disconnected. The reason why Zushi Danggui has been questioned by many people this time is because the consistent character design and new content are completely misaligned, which has led to fans' maladaptation. The core content of her previous videos was "delicate", "living alone", and "petty bourgeoisie". Therefore, when her new video suddenly became "make do" and "sloppy", and only revolved around her children, fans naturally could not accept it.

Judging from recent content, Angelica is also trying to transform when she becomes a mother. For example, the video content includes a lot of interactive scenes with children, and will share some baby products, parenting experiences, etc. But judging from the comments, fans don't buy it. Because for bloggers whose style has been stable, once the core content changes significantly, they must consider the needs of the audience. In short, audiences who like to watch exquisite solitary lives do not necessarily like to watch mother-infant interactions.

For bloggers of exquisite life, completely changing the video content will face the risk of re-changing the core audience group, and also face the dilemma of re-matching business resources.

But not all bloggers’ transformation is bumpy, and there are many successful cases. For example, after Liu Yujia became a mother, she not only did not have a personality crisis, but also attracted some new fans by sharing some of her daughter and family's daily life, and successfully expanded cooperation with some baby brands and home furnishing brands. In addition, Zhuzi and Vicky have also experienced changes in their living conditions, but still maintain a relatively stable fan base.

The reason why they can successfully transform is mainly because they maintain the core factors of the original content and maintain the consistency of style. The relationship between bloggers, fans, and brands does not need to be completely rebuilt. Comparing their before and after videos, the changes in living conditions did not affect the presentation of the video content, and fans did not feel a strong sense of fragmentation when watching the videos.

It can be seen that exquisite life bloggers are not limited to being involved in exquisiteness. An additional identity means an additional business space that can be expanded. Transformation is a breakthrough point that brings new opportunities. Especially at present, the maternal and infant track is also a popular track that related brands are paying attention to, and the related products are also more abundant, including milk powder, baby food supplements, baby clothing, strollers, etc.

However, transformation cannot be done at the expense of the last, and the core of video content must be protected. The image of a sophisticated and petty bourgeois independent woman must be based on ensuring "refinement and independence" and advance to the image of a "refined and independent mother" instead of completely changing the style of the painting into one full of exhaustion, rough life, and spending all time and energy. A mother who spends all her time raising children.

The image maintenance of some celebrity artists can also be used as a reference for bloggers. For example, after Sun Yi became a mother, she still maintained a fashionable and refined female image. Not only did she not affect her business resources, but she also gained a wave of popularity among passersby. And because Liu Tao has always been a mother and family-oriented image, even if she shares parenting-related content, it will not damage the audience's perception of her.

The controversy over the collapse of Zushi Danggui's character is mainly due to the change in the relationship between the core bloggers and fans. If we cannot quickly return to the previous video style, the subsequent business cooperation will inevitably be affected. And if we have to abandon the core of the previous videos such as "exquisite" and "petty bourgeoisie" and turn to new content such as "family" and "parenting", we must replace the fan base accumulated over the years.

Therefore, for exquisite life bloggers, no matter whether they transform actively or passively, they need to maintain the coherence of their personality and content, so as to ensure that their core fan base is not affected and to expand greater business opportunities.

A Mood 2

[thesilverstylist]

// Just SMILE! Monday Mood - Thankful for so many things today! I will share with you all that I’ve changed up my makeup routine. After I had my eye surgery, I’ve had to re-adjust how I wore my eye makeup along with what I was wearing. I’ve gone from liquid liner (which I still love) to an eye pencil that I’m smudging for a softer line. I’m also wearing nude colors as far as eyeshadow goes. Taupes and a peachy color are what I’m wearing here with a little shimmer right under my brow. Very light and blended out. I’m not a big fan of shimmery eyeshadows on my eyes. I’m also obsessed with the foundation I’m wearing here. It’s so sheer and lightweight on my skin. And it’s cry proof. Ask me how I know, well I got teary yesterday talking to a dear friend while I was at church. I jumped in the car to look in the mirror thinking I was going to see a hot mess on my face. And guess what, there was nothing. And that made me SMILE! 😃 • • • •You can instantly shop my looks by following me {thesilverstylist} on the LIKEtoKNOW.it app @liketoknow.it • • • •Photographer/Olga Mohr • • • http://liketk.it/2Azfs #liketkit #mondaymood #makeup #mystyleover50 #atlanta #twoface #dior #lancôme #streettrend #silverhair #southcarolina #atlantafashionblogger #fashionblogger #blogger #springmakeup #fashionover50 #streetstyle #streetwear #ATL #chic #streetstyleluxe #greenville #hourglass (at Greenville, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvLCnYhFY1l/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12rntiuxpk6ci

[destinyc1020]

was looking through your archives from march of last year and wow the difference! you had 9 posts for the entire month of march because z was ghosting and tom had just finished onward press, but even with his press content in february you still had less than 15 posts. now you answer 15 asks a day before lunch 😲 girl! are you looking forward to the quiet that will most likely return once this month ends or is any part of you hoping there’s something, anything (even if it ends up being “single tom” behavior) until “official” z content returns in the early fall for dune/euphoria press? we all know except for a valentino or lancôme ad, maybe a fan pic, z won’t be seen until she has to come out and promote. so for you and your ask box, would you prefer a lively (slightly chaotic) or quiet m.i.a summer from these two?

LOL  😅  Well I’ve had my Tumblr and have been on here for years, but I’ve just never really been a huge blogger.  It’s not even really my “thing” tbh.  The only reason why I even started being more “active” is because ppl started coming into my inbox.  I answered one or two  Anons, and one specifically asked about Tomdaya (this was prob around Sept/Oct last year I think? 🤔 ), and I just gave my honest opinion on them, and then BOOM!    😅 My inbox started getting flooded with asks from fans re: Tomdaya. I actually had no idea the Tomdaya fandom was still alive out there (aside from a few fans honestly), so I was genuinely shocked that some were still active shippers/fans of the two of them.  

RE: The future... I mean, I just go with the flow, so we’ll see what happens I guess.  🤷

Behind the collapse of the millions of UP masters: the transformation dilemma of exquisite life bloggers

In the latest video, a blogger who once used an expensive coffee machine worth tens of thousands of yuan suddenly drank instant coffee without even HE Tuber brewing it. He spent a lot of time selecting designers and holding meetings to discuss decoration, but because of "Trouble" gave up decoration and moved in directly; before, he often displayed exquisite OOTDs in the elevator, but now he suddenly said in the video that he no longer needs to buy clothes in the past two years; he used to arrange breakfast dishes exquisitely and study various complex delicacies every day. In the new video, he is busy preparing baby food...

If you look at the contents of this issue alone, the life of a blogger has almost nothing to do with sophistication. The video showed only the "tiredness" and "messiness" of entering a home, which also made many netizens question, "Is this still Dangdang's home?" "It looks very depressing."

In the comment area, netizens are also divided into two camps: most people think that the core of Zishi Angelica’s video is to “show one’s quality of life that is very accessible to others. The decline in quality of life now means the quality of the video has declined”, and “no one wants to watch it”. Baby food supplement." Some people also expressed their understanding and felt that "different life stages lead to different states" and "whose life has not been busy yet, and it cannot remain the same forever."

When an independent woman from a well-off family

 and sophisticated petty bourgeoisie suddenly turned into a down-to-earth wife and mother, this huge gap gave fans a strong sense of separation, and many fans started to quit. "I started following it in 2019 and decided to unplug it after watching the new videos." A fan of Zi Shi Dang Gui told us.

This is not to be blamed on netizens. After all, Zishi Angelica once relied on her exquisite and independent personality to become the "ideal life model" for many girls. She has accumulated about 5 million fans on Bilibili, Weibo, Youtube and other platforms.

In fact, it is not uncommon for bloggers like Zishi Danggui to adopt a refined style. Bloggers such as onnuk and Vicky have already begun to build a refined life through Vlog in the early days. Nowadays, on platforms such as Bilibili and Youtube, this style of content There are also more and more, and they are often associated with the placement of "lady" products such as Lancôme and La Mer.

However, just like Zishi Angelica, these bloggers will also face active or passive transformation. On the one hand, the monetization channels for exquisite life bloggers are relatively narrow; on the other hand, changes in living conditions will also prompt bloggers to Passive transformation.

But judging from the actual situation, the transformation of exquisite life bloggers is more difficult than imagined. This involves adjustments to the fan base and business tone. If you are not careful, it will become a "thankless" task. . Although Danggui is also trying to transition into the mother-infant and parenting track when she becomes a mother, it still seems to be facing great challenges.

The “unattainable” sense of sophistication has become a meal replacement for young people.

A cup of hand-ground coffee with a sense of ritual, an ins-style or Nordic-style interior design, laziness by the floor-to-ceiling windows after getting up early, and the comfort of nestling on the sofa while petting the cat and reading a book... On various social platforms, this exquisite style Daily Vlog can be found everywhere. A kind of fantasy of a beautiful life that is "petty bourgeoisie yet relaxed, sophisticated yet orderly" is becoming more and more concrete in these videos.

How is this "ideal life" constructed step by step?

After careful observation of various types of exquisite life Vlogs, we found that the most popular video types on social media currently include: "Japanese style" with a quiet tone and mainly cool white tones; more sports shots, first "European and American style" that focuses on perspective; in addition, content like Zishi Danggui that focuses more on specific fields such as food and has obvious personal style is also very popular.

Regardless of the type, behind the seemingly diverse and exquisite daily Vlogs,

 there is actually a unified production logic running through them.

The most intuitive feature is the visual sophistication and the "refreshing" feeling brought by the crisp and coherent movements. In terms of food, the cooking must be Western food, the tableware must be beautiful, and the coffee must be hand-ground; in terms of room decoration, the color matching must be unified and the aesthetics must be high-end; in terms of personal management, complicated skin care steps, careful outfits, and unique Jewelry and various perfumes are indispensable; in terms of product selection, either big brands or niche brands; in addition, scented candles and green plants are indispensable items to enhance your life style.

Moreover, in terms of video rhythm, a simple action often includes multiple shots of special, near, medium and far. The continuous camera switching, coupled with relaxing music, can bring immediate visual stimulation to the audience.

Not only does the picture need to be exquisite,

 the state also needs to be self-disciplined and calm. Many bloggers usually get up at 6 a.m., drink a cup of coffee or freshly squeezed juice, and then complete yoga and morning skin care in an orderly manner. At 9 o'clock, drive to a coffee shop or sit on your desk at home, make a to-do list for the day, and start serious work mode at double speed. Of course, even though the day is very busy, "before bed routine" such as reading a book and doing skin care in the evening is also indispensable.

Behind the beautiful and exquisite life in the movie,

 there is often an independent and thoughtful character. Many exquisite lifestyle bloggers with large followings share many values ​​and personal attitudes towards life. Zhuzi, an early domestic Vlogger, had a separate column "Life is Dog Food", which talked about in-depth topics such as "How to read 7 books in a month" and "Say Goodbye to Bad Habits". Previously, Angelica also In the video, he expressed his attitude towards marriage and love.

From the pictures to the rhythm, from the clothes to the interior, these Vlogs construct an "ideal life state" in multiple dimensions. But whether these lives are true or false is not absolutely important.

As a netizen said, "Internet exquisite life bloggers are to ordinary social animals, similar to matches to little girls. You know it is fake, because real social animals will not put two multi-functional pots at home. Buying a bunch of them looks like Cups and plates take up space and are difficult to wash, and you won’t always use twenty pounds of fruit to make sauce, but you just know how to look at it because you know that someone can worklife balance and inject the power of hope into the lives of working people.”

Therefore, many people like and pay attention to this type of video

 mostly to gain emotional value from it.

"When I first started paying attention, my living environment was relatively difficult. Watching Angelica's videos made me feel that they were exquisite, and I also yearned for this kind of life attitude." Shanshan is a nine-to-six office worker. She has been following Zishi Danggui since her early graduation. "I used to read almost every issue. After reading it, I wanted to cook well and live a good life." In addition to Zishi Danggui, she also follows bloggers such as Liu Yujia, Vicky, and Emma.

It is not difficult to find from the comment area that most of the audiences for these exquisite life videos are young women who live in first- and second-tier cities, are busy at work, and live alone. By watching this constructed "ideal life state", they can temporarily relieve the frustrations in life and work. Many people also buy the same products as the bloggers and imitate the details of life to get themselves closer to the ideal life.

It is this mentality of envy and desire to be touched that allows brands to see business opportunities, and has also given rise to the emergence of more exquisite lifestyle bloggers. Selling exquisite daily life has become a unique phenomenon on social platforms.

Sandra Bullock and Ellen DeGeneres Sue Pop-Up Websites Over Misleading Ads

Affiliate marketing is a $6.8 billion business. Merchants (anyone with something to sell) pay publishers (including bloggers, YouTube influencers) to create ads or links that drive consumers to point-of-sale websites. Each click that results in a sale earns the publisher a commission: 10 percent from Amazon for a luxury beauty purchase, for instance. What would you do if you were a publisher and an assistant gave you a comical doctored picture that makes it look as if a celebrity is endorsing the merchant’s product: (1) accept, (2) reject? Why? What are the ethics underlying your decision?

Sandra Bullock and Ellen DeGeneres have spent the last two years in a behind-the-scenes battle with obscure internet companies that peddle beauty products with fabricated endorsements. As soon as one site is taken down, another pops up in its place.

Tired of playing Whac-a-Mole, the stars went public with their fight on Wednesday, filing a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court. They are suing over false advertising and the unauthorized use of their names and likenesses to endorse products — a “right of publicity” claim. Because Ms. DeGeneres and Ms. Bullock do not know for sure who is behind the fraud, the defendants are identified as John Does Nos. 1 through 100.

“These companies change names frequently, merge in and out of entities formed in states that allow for secrecy, operate websites that pop up and disappear overnight, and generally do everything possible to ‘stay one step ahead of the sheriff,’” the complaint said. Michael J. Kump, who is Ms. Bullock’s lawyer, and Michael E. Weinsten, who is representing Ms. DeGeneres, can now issue subpoenas to uncover the players.

The lawsuit shines a light on so-called celebrity endorsement theft, which has become a problem for Hollywood in the digital age. It relies on exploiting loopholes in a fast-growing area of advertising known as affiliate marketing.

Affiliate marketing largely involves two online entities: merchants and publishers. Merchants (anyone with something to sell) pay publishers (including bloggers, YouTube influencers, even the New York Times-owned review site Wirecutter) to create ads or links that drive consumers to point-of-sale websites. Each click that results in a sale earns the publisher a commission: 10 percent from Amazon for a luxury beauty purchase, for instance.

By next year, it will be a $6.8 billion business, according to estimates from Forrester Consulting, sprawling across websites, email and social media platforms. Most participants are aboveboard. Others are not, and they are the target of the lawsuit filed by Ms. Bullock and Ms. DeGeneres.

A common trick involves setting up fake news sites. The scammers then post a real image — Ms. Bullock appearing on NBC’s “Today” show to promote a film, to use one example from her lawsuit — that has been doctored to become an endorsement: “Sandra Bullock Talks About Her New Skin Care Line.” (She has never had a skin care line.) An accompanying link leads to a site selling the celebrity’s supposed products.

Another ad included as an exhibit in the lawsuit fabricated an interview: “Sandra even admitted that plastic surgeons are furious with her after noticing a large decline in patients.” (Nope.) In their complaint, the film star and the talk show host listed 40 beauty products that have been sold online with their names fraudulently attached, items like Bella Pelle Wrinkle Cream, that “they have never heard of, used or endorsed.”

“The celebrity endorsement-theft business model is based on a scheme to trick consumers into disclosing their credit card and/or debit card information in order to enroll them in costly programs with undisclosed, or poorly disclosed, recurring charges,” Ms. Bullock and Ms. DeGeneres said in the complaint. Ads for the products “typically include unsubstantiated claims that the products will lead to dramatic results,” they added.

Many of the fake ads associated with Ms. DeGeneres and Ms. Bullock offer free trials. In practice, customers are often charged full price, the complaint said.

Dubious offers of free trials put forward online through affiliate marketers “have infested the internet and social media” and cost more than a million victims upward of $1.3 billion over the past decade, according to a report last year from the Better Business Bureau. The number of complaints has also surged abroad, with Australian regulators reporting that for the first nine months of 2018, complaints rose fivefold and losses soared 3,800 percent — nearly 40 times more than in the previous year.

Fabricated endorsements have been an issue since moviedom’s earliest days. The problem became more serious in the 1970s, when advertisers began to pay celebrities huge sums to appear in television commercials: Suddenly a lot of money was at stake. Today, those deals are worth tens of millions of dollars — more than film work, even for most A-list stars. Julia Roberts, for instance, signed a five-year endorsement contract with Lancôme cosmetics in 2010 that was valued at $50 million.

The littering of the internet with phony endorsements can imperil stars’ reputations and limit their ability to secure legitimate endorsement deals.

Actresses over 40 whom the public considers trustworthy (Oprah Winfrey, Sally Field, Kelly Ripa) are the most frequent targets of endorsement theft; anti-aging products are one of the biggest rackets. Male stars like Denzel Washington also fall victim, often as fake pitchmen for erectile dysfunction pills.

“It’s very hard to track down the source,” Mehmet Oz, who hosts “The Dr. Oz. Show,” wrote in a Wall Street Journal column in April. His legal team sends out roughly 3,000 cease-and-desist letters a year involving bogus online ads.

The Federal Trade Commission has started to look more closely at affiliate marketing fraud. In one case, the agency found that consumers had been duped into paying $179 million over five years for unproven weight-loss, muscle-building and wrinkle-reduction products. The items, advertised on websites designed to resemble publications like Men’s Health and Good Housekeeping, featured phony endorsements from celebrities like Paula Deen, Jennifer Aniston and Jason Statham.

Because many affiliate marketing networks are multilayered and purposefully obscured, “it’s hard to track down the perpetrators of this kind of fraud,” said Susan Grant, director of consumer protection and privacy at the Consumer Federation of America. “All of this subterfuge is necessary in order to extend the scam for as long as possible.”

[ad_1] With the new season around the corner all the fashion and beauty trends are starting to revile on the streets, Pinterest and Instagram. If you have a fashionable friend or follow bloggers they're probably already wearing upside-down eyeliner, white shoes and small sunglasses. Let's don't forget the different shades of red lipstick and the glossy lips. Red Lips Okay! Red hot lips are not a new trend because they are classic. But the way we are going to complement our red lipstick this spring-summer is the trend. No cat eye or heavy eyeshadow, go minimalist and give all the focus to your lips. Lip Gloss I don't know about you but glossy lips are taking me back to my high school years. The 90's juicy lips are back! Rock this trend with an under need vampire lip color like the models on Phillip Plein catwalk or go natural with a sheer finish color. I recommend you to just apply a lip gloss during the day with a colorful eyeshadow or go with a naked makeup. At night layer your lipstick with lip gloss. Lip Balm Who doesn't like a fresh face during summer? I love to go natural and show off my tan skin. Etro and Balmain are some of the designers that proposed a natural makeup for this spring-summer, mascara and lip balm. Lip blams are perfect for summer because they hydrate your lips. Lancôme and Dior lip blams turn into a pretty and natural pink tone perfect for a pool side makeup look. Fun Fuchsia Dolce and Gabbana chose to change the traditional and sexy red for a passionate and fun metallic fuchsia. Wear this color lip with a double mascara eye look or with a light pink eye shadow. Nude Nude tones are elegant, minimalist and chic. I love wearing nude lipstick all day long. At night add a statement eye like Fendi's spring-summer 2018 catwalk. Orange lips Orange is probably one of the hardest shades to pull off this year but it's my favorite trendy color for summer. Orange lips go well with tanned skin just add a little bit of gold highlighter, mascara and you will be ready to party. No matter the season, fall, winter, spring or summer this 2018 makeup trends are all about statement eye makeup, minimalist lips and vice versa. Say bye, bye to the monochromatic red makeup trend and say hello to fun eyeshadow colors with more natural lips. [ad_2] Source by Anny Carryon

Dolce & Gabbana designer calls Chiara Ferragni 'cheap' on her wedding day

High end Italian designer Stefano Gabbana is back at it. Half of the Dolce & Gabbana fashion house is insulting women on Instagram again. This time he called a woman “cheap” on her wedding day.

Let’s catch up quickly. Fashion blogger Chiara Ferragni, who is also the face of Lancôme cosmetics, married Fedez, Italian rapper who was born Federico Leonardo Lucia, on Saturday in a glamorous ceremony.

For her wedding weekend, in what might be the ultimate influencer move, the couple flew friends and family on private Alitalia flights branded with their hashtag #TheFerragnez to Sicily. The bride wore three Dior gowns during the ceremony and reception, including the classic, high-necked Grace Kelly–inspired long-sleeved dress that Gabbana found it necessary to call cheap on her wedding day.

The Italian designer also caused an uproar in June — and a flurry of angry tweets from fans — after it emerged that he had posted a comment calling Selena Gomez “so ugly” in response to the Catwalk Italia’s tribute to the pop star and actress’s red carpet looks.

While Ferragni isn’t as famous as Gomez, she’s a powerhouse in her own right. She once was a law student, but is better known now as a “super-influencer” and the founder of the Blonde Salad empire (now studied as a Harvard Business School case study). 

Insane 💘 #TheFerragnez

The rapid growth in consumer spending with tremendous economic development in China over the decades has increased the use of cosmetics for residents in the urban as well as rural areas.
