Chapter 1591: Chapter 1588: Rouge Blind Box
“That’s right, it’s not embarrassing at all to give these as gifts.”
“If you’re lucky and get something good, it’s a win.”
“Yeah.”
All around, there were lively discussions. Many young misses couldn’t resist buying a box, with some even purchasing several boxes at once.
Most of them opened the boxes on the spot, encouraged by their close friends.
The shopkeeper of The Beautiful Face Shop did not stop them.
Even Chu Ziluo was curious about what was inside.
The first girl to open a box found two lip balms of different colors, a winter cream, a set of face masks, and a box of very bright rouge.
“I’ve used this cream before, and it’s pretty good. But I’ve never tried the lip balm and rouge, the colors are too bright. Would it make me look ugly if I used them…”
Nearby, there was a waiter, who was a rather good-looking woman.
With a standard mercial smile, she said, “Miss, if you don’t mind, I have several portrait samples here. They’re made with different skin tones and face shapes, showing the makeup effects. Each picture is labeled with the balm and color numbers, so you can determine if they’re suitable for you, or if you’d like to gift them, you can give it to someone who suits them.”
The girl was indeed curious and pulled her friend along, stepping over quickly, “Hey, I want to take a look.”
Immediately, a waiter approached, guiding her to see the samples. That’s why, despite the store being so large, the two rooms were crowded during the New Year festivities—it was clearly arranged for the holiday activities.
Huo Hongyan also got interested, tugging Chu Ziluo’s sleeve, and asked, “Ziluo, Jiaojiao, do you want to take a look? I’m quite interested in those pictures. I heard that as long as you buy enough rouge, and spend enough silver, people from Mei Mian Rouge Shop will personally e to the residence to help with makeup, and they’re willing to teach too.”
“Let’s look around.” Chu Ziluo wasn’t in a hurry, there was plenty of time anyway.
She signaled to Huo Hongyan, and all three of them saw Li Chun’er at the front, choosing various blind boxes.
Li Chun’er was well-off and directly instructed her maidservants to buy ten blind boxes on her behalf, spending as much as fifty taels.
Seeing the envious whispers around her, she lifted her chin proudly, “e on, open them all. Let everyone see. I’ve bought so many; I’m bound to get that Fair-faced rouge, right?”
Fair-faced rouge was a recently launched rouge from Mei Mian Rouge Shop, which became highly sought after when the King of Huainan’s daughter, the little princess, tried it out at the shop and wore it to a palace banquet, earning praise from the Dowager Empress, causing all the maidens to follow suit.
Adding to the fact that this rouge is new, and it’s the first time the little princess used it, it quickly became the hottest rouge in the capital recently.
However, extracting the materials for it required cherry blossoms, which only grew in warm greenhouses, not available in winter, making its price expensive and quantity limited. Only regular big clients of Mei Mian Rouge Shop could buy it.
Even Li Chun’er missed the opportunity due to bad luck, forcing her to buy blind boxes just to try to get the Fair-faced rouge.
“Miss, let me help you open them.”
The obedient little maidservant quickly opened the blind boxes.
The styles in the blind boxes were varied, with rarely any duplicates. Even though none of the first five boxes contained the Fair-faced rouge, Li Chun’er was still in good spirits, “Not bad, these are things I haven’t used before. They all seem pretty good. Now I can try them one by one.”
As she opened the sixth box, the little maidservant let out a sharp scream.
