Black Women Prefer Hair Products Marketed With Them In Mind

Marketing reports indicate that black consumers long to feel authentically represented in advertising campaigns, especially black women. Black female consumers outpace other consumer groups in a number of spending categories, notably personal care and hair products, but feel unappreciated by top brands. This line of thinking raised several questions for me: With the fairly recent launch of an ethnic corporate product line, Pantene’s Gold Series Collection, are black women feeling the love? When faced with choosing between this new corporate option and Shea Moisture, a brand perceived to be black-owned, where does their allegiance lie? And if what people buy is an expression of their identity, then which brand best reflects black female consumers’ truest sense of self? Our study builds on ...

The Walmart Handbag That Mimics The Look Of Hermès’ Iconic, Exclusive Birkin Bag

Birkin handbags, Walmart’s ‘Wirkin’ and the meme-ification of class warfare In previous eras of internet culture, mockery of the rich and famous was usually relegated to far-left forums. But as 2025 begins, ridiculing the rich appears to have gone mainstream. Look no further than the Walmart handbag that mimics the look of Hermès’ iconic, exclusive and uber-expensive Birkin bag. The cost of the Birkin bag can exceed six figures. But its exorbitant price tag is only part of its allure. You cannot simply walk into a Hermès store and purchase a Birkin bag. Shoppers are expected to spend thousands of dollars on other Hermès products over a long period of time before they’re even offered the opportunity to buy the Birkin, which is also known as a “quota bag.” Historically, the Birkin and...

Massaging The Skin’s Fascia — The Latest Anti-Aging Trend

The latest anti-aging trend is massaging the skin’s fascia – here’s what you need to know. One of the few certainties in life is the wrinkling of our skin. The “anti-aging” industry was worth almost £56 billion globally in 2023 – and is forecast to grow. But, although we can attempt to disguise the visible signs of aging through tweakments such as reducing exposure to sun and cosmetics, biological aging cannot be reversed. One of the latest social media trends is fascial massage of the face to combat wrinkles and other signs of aging. Fascia is thin connective tissue made of collagen, that envelops muscles, bone and organs of the body. Influencers promoting fascial massage claim that massaging the face’s fascia can produces some astonishing results, including significant changes to ...

Why Are ‘Pretty Privilege’ People Considered More Trustworthy

‘Pretty privilege’: attractive people considered more trustworthy, research confirms. What makes a person beautiful has fascinated artists and scientists for centuries. Beauty is not, as it is often assumed to be, “in the eye of the beholder” – but follows certain predictable rules. Symmetry and proportions play a role, and though culture and norms shape our perception of beauty, researchers observe a consistently striking agreement among people on whom they regard as beautiful. Not surprisingly the beauty market has been on a steady rise (besides a minor 2020 Covid slump), reaching $430 billion in revenue in 2023, according to a recent McKinsey report. The fascination for the perfect makeup or skincare is fired up by the impact of perfect faces displayed on social media and enhanced b...

Dove’s Anti-AI Stance

Dove’s latest ‘Real Beauty’ drive – and why AI will be harder to ditch than it thinks. Beauty brand Dove recently announced it would not use models generated by artificial intelligence (AI) in its advertising campaigns. But is this really an anti-AI stance or merely the marketing of “inclusive” and “realistic” AI-generated images? In other words, is Dove attempting to shape the beauty ideals AI shows consumers, rather than ditching its use entirely? Dove’s owner Unilever is one of the world’s largest multinational, fast-moving consumer goods companies. But the values of the brands it owns vary dramatically, as highlighted by legal action that Ben & Jerry’s brought against Unilever to object to its ice cream being “sold in the occupied Palestinian Territory”. The lawsuit was settled...

Many women dread their over-40 birthdays due to aging effects evident in the bathroom mirror, but beauty experts placate with a plethora of makeup tricks.
