I'll take that with a side of microdermabrasion.
Every once in a while I am surprised by something and then immediately feel foolish for being surprised.

Back in August I posted about an ad for mascara that I thought was ridiculous. I said
I think my feelings about paint-on false lashes can be captured with this made up ad copy: “Beyond foundation… face spackle!”
Well. I suppose I should have expected this:
Face Spakle
Yes, Laura Geller sells Face Spackle, Eye Spackle, and Lip Spackle.
Ok, I admit that I’m a makup bigot. I think that the right amount of makeup that a person should wear is “none.” I just mostly think people look better without it. But I’m not trying to bang that particular drum right now, I’m just saying — face spakle just doesn’t sound like good marketing. You shouldn’t associate anything that is meant for your face with somthing that is applied with a trowel.
Thanks to F. over at The Holophusicon for the tip.
I’m sure that the advertisers who created this spot are quite good at talking to their target demographic. And perhaps that’s what horrifies me about this. I think my feelings about paint-on false lashes can be captured with this made up ad copy:
“Beyond foundation… face spackle!”
