I was at a very large well known indoor shopping centre on Xmas eve. Suddenly a salesman thrust a small sachet in my hand containing cosmetic cream.
I don't know what happened, but I was sitting on this chair and the salesman was applying a soothing cream under my eye. Then commenced putting a second layer using a different cream.
This salesman was good. He brought a mirror to my face and discussed the wrinkles that had vanished. He kept repeating 'does it feel good'.
Then he opened a book and showed me the price of each under-eye cream; £250 for the first one and £200 for the second cream. Oh, you have to have both in order to see the effects.
I was just about to get up when he said as it's Xmas he'd give the second cream free. Wow, that's a saving of £200. Again, I was about to get up from the chair when he handed me a card that entitled me to 50% off. So now the cost came down to £125 from the original price of £450.
I requested for him to do the other eye. Then I got up and fled.
Are these cosmetics really worth upto £450 or is the salesman looking for a 'mug'.
 
Well that you got £450 down to £125 shows they're clearly not. Even at £125 I imagine they're running at a few hundred percent markup.

It did feel good, but would have felt even better if the other salesperson had applied the cream. She was rather attractive and I could not help noticing that her skirt seemed quite high.

I won't lie I thought you were female from your OP :D (well guess you could still be :D).

Probably best. You would have ended up with £450 worth of cream. And maybe making your own cream :eek:

Do you regularly allow strange men to apply mysterious cream to your face?

Besides, it was obvious that I must be male, as I discussed a female wearing a short skirt and she was attractive
