If Makeup Counters Provided Free Coffee with Makeovers

November 27th, 2009 by keen bean

During a recent lunch break I had to pick between going for a makeover, or relaxing at my favourite coffee joint. Then it dawned on me how the big make up lines, such as MAC, Bobbi Brown, and Yves Saint Laurent should provide their clients with free coffee while they have their makeup applied. It would certainly enhance the experience, and kill two birds with one stone. Not to mention it would surely make me feel more at ease while strangers passing by stare at me as the makeup artist works his, or her, magic on me.

Come to think of it, if Estee Lauder, Clinique or Prescriptives were to tempt me with that coffee gift, I might be swayed to try their brands. It would get me in their chair, and while sipping, make me stay longer than I normally would. Thus, possibly leading me to buy much more than I intended. So, if Laura Mercier had the scent of espresso coming from their counter, I would be drawn to it. This would already be a win for them, because I have never sampled, nor purchased any items in their line. Seems to me that I am really on to something here.
