So, I was poking around online, as one does, and I stumbled across this weird mix of Celine-related snippets. First, there’s talk of “TCTerms” (whatever THAT is) mentioning the Celine Beauté collection and its lipstick. Okay, cool. I’m a sucker for a good lipstick, especially if it makes me feel fancy, even if I’m just wearing it to, like, take out the trash. Then there’s this random “ASCORBIC ACID ZINC” thing, completely out of left field, leading into the “Le Rouge Celine 01 Rouge Triomphe – Batom Acetinado.” A satin lipstick, eh? Sounds promising. I wonder if it’s actually any good, or just another overpriced tube that promises the moon and delivers… well, nothing special. Probably the latter, if I’m being a cynical (but realistic) gal.
And THEN, to top it all off, there’s “Gwendolyn Celine” (who even IS that?) leading us to the “NOVA COLEÇÃO para Mulheres.” Okay, so clothes. We’re talking fashion, presumably. I mean, duh. Celine. But like, what *kind* of fashion? Is it the kind of fashion that only supermodels can pull off, or the kind of fashion that a normal human being could actually wear without looking like they’re playing dress-up? Honestly, that’s the question that keeps me up at night. Well, not *really*, but you get my point.
The whole thing feels kinda… disjointed, doesn’t it? Like someone threw a bunch of Celine keywords into a blender and hoped for the best. And that, my friends, is kinda my problem with the whole “Generic Celine” vibe. It’s all so… *aspirational*. Like they’re selling you a dream, but the dream involves spending your entire rent check on a handbag. No thanks. I’d rather have, you know, *food*.
Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate a good quality item. I really do. But sometimes I feel like the Celine brand (and others like it, honestly) are just… TOO much. Like, are we really supposed to believe that buying this particular lipstick or that particular dress is going to magically transform us into better people? I’m calling BS.
