Alright, let’s talk about this Drunk Elephant thing, ya know? Folks keep jabberin’ about it, so I figured I’d try and make sense of it all. Heard it’s some kinda fancy face stuff, like them movie stars use.
What is this Drunk Elephant anyways?
Well, from what I gather, it’s a skin care brand. Started by some woman, Tiffany somethin’-or-other, back in 2012 or 2013, can’t quite remember. She wasn’t even lookin’ to start a business, just a regular stay-at-home mom, like me, I guess. But then she did, and now it’s a big deal, I hear. Someone even bought it for a whole heap of money, like millions and millions! Can you believe that? All for face goop!
Why’s it called Drunk Elephant?
Don’t ask me, sounds silly if you ask me. Maybe the elephants got into some fermented fruit or somethin’. But the important thing is, the stuff comes in these bright, colorful bottles and jars. Real pretty, like candy. Guess that’s why all them young folks on that “Insta-gram” like it so much. Always takin’ pictures of themselves with it. Kids these days, I tell ya.
- Fancy Ingredients: They say this stuff is special ’cause it uses all sorts of new-fangled ingredients. Stuff you ain’t gonna find in the regular ol’ creams at the drugstore. Scientists must be workin’ hard, I reckon.
- “Clean” Beauty: And it’s supposed to be “clean.” Now, I wash my face with soap and water, that’s clean enough for me. But these folks, they got a whole different idea of clean. Means it don’t have certain chemicals or somethin’. Makes your skin happy, they say.
- Lots of Products: They got creams, and serums, and masks, and I don’t even know what else. Enough to make your head spin. Heard tell of some water-facial mask that some famous girl likes. F-Balm, they call it. Must be somethin’ special if the rich and famous are usin’ it.
So, what’s all the fuss about? Is it good stuff?
Well, that’s where it gets tricky. Some folks swear by it. Say it makes their skin all smooth and glowy. Like a baby’s bottom, I guess. But then there’s others who say it made their face all red and itchy. Had a bad reaction, you see. And some folks are worried about young girls usin’ it. Say it’s too strong for their delicate skin. Seems like you gotta be careful, that’s for sure.
Controversy and Problems, ya know?
Yeah, not everythin’s perfect with this Drunk Elephant, I hear. Some folks say it ain’t for everyone, specially them young girls. Their skin is soft and new, don’t need all that strong stuff. And some folks, well, their skin just didn’t like it, got all red and itchy. You see, just ‘cause somethin’ is popular don’t mean it’s good for ya. Like them fancy cigarettes them movie stars used to smoke. Bad for ya, they were.
Where can you get it?
Seems like you can find it all over the place now. Used to be you had to go to special stores, or order it online. But now they sellin’ it everywhere, even in them big department stores. Must be makin’ a killing, I tell ya. All them rich folks buyin’ expensive face cream. Makes you wonder, don’t it?
What did Drunk Elephant do?
Well, it seems like Drunk Elephant did a few things. First, it made a whole lot of money for that Tiffany woman. Good for her, I say. Second, it got folks talkin’ about skin care, and ingredients, and all that stuff. More than they ever did before. And third, well, it made some folks happy with their skin, and some folks unhappy. Just like most things in life, I guess. Can’t please everyone, can ya? You just gotta try and find what works for you. And if that means washin’ your face with soap and water, well, ain’t nothin’ wrong with that. Been doin’ it for years, and my skin ain’t lookin’ too bad, if I do say so myself.
So, there you have it. That’s what I know about this Drunk Elephant. Take it or leave it. Me? I think I’ll stick to my soap and water. Less fuss, less money, and my skin seems just fine. But hey, if you wanna try it, go ahead. Just be careful, and don’t blame me if your face turns red!
