friends go to Hong Kong and Macau to play, one thing that is inevitable for
is-
buy! buy! buy!
, especially the girls who buy cosmetics, pay attention.
recently heard that the
that everyone is enthusiastic about is super cost-effective
salsa, Zhuoyue, and Calami
are suspected of selling fake ? ? ?
are all expired products? ? ? The sister of
decided to find out the truth for our female compatriots
!
Are there any fakes in Salsa, Bonjour, and Calami?
In fact, SASA, Bonjour, Yashi, Camelot, etc. are all large cosmetics chains in Hong Kong. Many of them are listed companies with hundreds of stores. So these places will never sell fakes, because once they are found to sell If false, the Hong Kong government will strictly punish them, and the defendant has long since gone bankrupt. Why is the price of
so much cheaper than the counter?
believes this is the most important question for my friends. In fact, this question is very simple. I will explain it to you from several aspects:
1, shop rent, labor cost.
counters are generally located in large department stores such as DFS, Langham Place, Harbour City, Festival Walk, etc. The rent and labor costs are extremely high, while chain beauty stores such as Salsa, Bonjour, Yass and Calamey are generally They are all located in small streets and alleys, narrow stores and waiters with average attitudes, reducing costs can naturally make cosmetics cheaper.
2, sample. The
counter is high in price but will give you a bunch of samples and medium samples for free. The samples in stores such as Sa Sa and Bonjour are sold directly, which is equivalent to earning income from them.
3. Parallel imports, namely parallel imports, are the most important factors affecting prices. The
counter, as the name suggests, is genuine and licensed from the official channels of the country of origin, while the beauty shop sells parallel imports. The word parallel imports sounds unreliable, but don’t get excited, let’s give a chestnut: Suppose Lancome plans to sell 1 billion globally this year, but the global counters can only reach 600 million sales, so the rest 400 million will need some large wholesalers to help.
Therefore, various beauty exhibitions are held all over the world every year. Through these large-scale exhibitions, Lancome will sell the remaining 400 million yuan to various wholesalers. Of course, the familiar manufacturers can directly pass the exhibition. .
Afterwards, these wholesalers searched for companies around the world that could help him sell these goods quickly. The major beauty shops in Hong Kong were their target, and the wholesaler prices would definitely be cheaper than the counters. The same goes for the luxury goods industry. Hong Kong's Milan station, TWIST, ISA, etc. are also parallel imports selling luxury goods. For example, TWIST will have special buyers who often go overseas to collect various discounted goods. Why is
different from the counter? As mentioned on
, parallel imports come from different countries, so I often find various versions of the same product in beauty chain stores. For example, the early French version of Lancome Black Bottle Cream was burgundy. Maybe it will be mistaken if you take it back to the mainland counter and ask. thought it was fake.
Some friends said that there is no problem using the counters, but the allergies are allergic to the ones using SASA. They think it is fake. In fact, it is caused by the different concentration or formula of the cosmetics due to different production areas. For example, the French Avène spray also has three or four versions, the quality is the same, the packaging is different, the Hong Kong version, the European version, the French version, the mainland version, the US version~ It is not clear if there are more. Is there really a problem with the
date? The
date problem does exist, because beauty chain stores have clear futures, just as the clothes sellers will be discounted at the end of the season. The cosmetics of Qing Futures generally have half a year or even shorter period left, so remember to pay attention to the production date label on the package when buying, or ask the salesperson. What if
really buys fakes?
Hong Kong's large-scale beauty chain stores have been open for more than 30 years, and they all have long-term cooperative agents, so in general, there is no need to worry about the authenticity of the goods. However, if there really is a special situation (because quality inspection is through sampling, if you are not luckyIf the problematic goods flow into the market, they will eventually reach the customers), you must use the receipt to guarantee this guarantee for 30 days shopping. For example, the LOGO of CHANEL perfume is not in the center of the bottle, and some eyebrow pencils that are bought are broken when opened. In these cases, you can do a return or exchange.
Briefly introduce several beauty chain stores
Salsa is a Hong Kong listed company. In several beauty chain stores, they spend a lot of money on decoration, and the price can be said to be the highest. Clarins, Nuxe, Arden, Dr.G, and these brands all have agency rights, and they are all licensed, which is why the price cannot be too low. Agents are not allowed to drop them too low.
Bonjour is also a listed company. It has always been famous for its ultra-low prices. There are 9.9 shampoos every week, facial cleanser discounts for 1 yuan, and big-brand prices are the cheapest. However, the weekly promotional special products are not available under normal circumstances because the quantity is very small, so please take a look. The store is really messy, and I feel like I can’t find North when I enter. The service is similar to that of Salsa, and simple consultations are still available.
Calami is also a listed company. Do you think it’s pink like Salsa? There are many hidden popular products, such as Sulwhasoo, Fresh, and Marvis toothpaste, which are not available in other brands, and there are a lot of duty-free suits. The agency brands include the face shop, naruko Niuerqinyan, etc. The service is satisfactory.
Yashi’s perfumes are super cheap, and a series of cosmetic sets are also on sale at low discounts, which can be said to be a feature of her house. But there are not many branches in Hong Kong.
In fact, these companies have their own brands. When you go shopping, the salespersons try to sell them, but it is recommended not to buy if you are not familiar with it! Many friends ran over to listen to the salesperson, bought it back and regretted it, ran to the Internet and said that they had been cheated.
Therefore, you need to be cautious when shopping. If you are very clear about your needs, go straight to the topic. If you can accept other recommendations, please try carefully and listen to judge whether it is suitable for you.
