Most seen type of commercials

Television. We all watch it. And there comes a time in every movie that we watch...that beautiful moment...for COMMERCIALS. We all love them. Don't even try to hide it - you "love" them as much as we do, I know it.

The problem isn't really with the content of the commercials rather than the quantity of them. There are too many of them so that's why we don't even bother to watch them. But if you pay close attention there is a centain type of commersials that goes on and on in a never ending circle. And those, my friend, are the cosmetic commercials. Skin care products, lipsticks, foundations, you name it - you can find EVERYTHING there. And that's why we, Group 1 from Slovakia, sat down and had a long conversation about cosmetic commercials. And yes, everybody in our group is a female.

Our first question was: "What is the history of these commercials?" "How did they look like in the past?"
Well...we wished we hadn't asked this question. They looked rather...creepy. See for yourself.


We told you. Creepy. After this we were centain that it wasn't a good idea to go that much "retro".
Our next questions were about the models and celebrities that advertised the products. We wanted to know if they really used the products and if they "believed" in them.

We took a commercial from L'oreal that stars Beyoncé.
We don't really have a proof that she uses it...I mean that all of these are just our theories...we can't know for centain, can we? :D But the fact is that she always looks flawless so that's something. ;)

We were really trying to prove that these commercials aren's just a waste of space (as they seem to be) when we stumbled across a very interesting video.

We just loved the concept of this video. You can really see how he appreciates that he can see himself once again. No joke or sarcasm are involved in this article, just so you know.
But really, maybe all the mess around cosmetics is actually worth it.

And then there were some commercials that we just loved and could leave out.


Hope you liked them as much as we did :)

  1. Hello!

    I am writing from Spain, we are group one.

    We think that it's really interesting to see an advertisment from the past, you are right. it's a little bit creepy.
    Answering your question we think that the famous people don't really use the products that they advertise.

    We think that the other videos are great.

    Great job friends! keep it up!!!!
