Chapter 260: Visiting
"Ms. Christina, your exhibits here are really comprehensive, hey! Rouge Pink Bun Makeup Rouge Box Compact Wow, if I'm not mistaken, that box should be filled with lead powder. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"That's right, it's worthy of being an expert, and it's good at memory. ”
"Awards, awards, these are all things left by our ancestors, and I know a little bit more or less. Su Yishui grabbed the glass cover with both hands and looked carefully inside, a spontaneous familiar feeling filled his heart, he hadn't felt this way for a long time.
In the eyes of foreigners, many ancient things in China are priceless treasures, and they are preserved, transferred, and collected, but on the contrary, it seems that in the eyes of many people in China, they have a disapproving attitude.
Hawkers, this is commonly known as the smell of the fragrance and the smell of the distance. Isn't it true that we are also very fond of foreign environments? There is always a kind of moon to be rounder in the heart than the domestic one.
"Oh, Miss Sue, do you know what that flower is?" Christina seemed intent on testing the twins. She gestured to a flower that was sealed inside the glass cover.
The yellow petals flutter in all directions like needles. There are also some dark patches between the bright yellows.
"What kind of flower is this? Since it is placed with these classical style cosmetics, it must have its intention, hey, sister, do you already know?"
"That's natural, I've seen this kind of tweed a lot when I've looked up information on the Internet, it's red and blue flowers, it's the raw material for making rouge, I'm right, Ms. Christina. ”
"That's right. What a master. Christina gave a thumbs up and complimented.
"Ms. Christina, you are very fond of classical Chinese beauty, don't you?"
"That's for sure, the ancient country of a thousand years of cultural history has derived a lot of beauty secrets and makeup techniques that we can't compare with now, right. What techniques were used in thrush painting at that time?"
"It is made of burnt willow branches, or it is ground into powder with the minerals of Shi Dai, mixed with water and rubbed on the eyebrows, which is called Dai Mei. ”
"Oh. That's right. In addition to the red and blue flowers, there seem to be many other types of flowers that can be used as raw materials. ”
"That's right, for example, lotus flowers or roses can be ground into powder and mixed with water. ”
"Wow, Miss Sue. You are too knowledgeable. ”
Hey, isn't this Ms. Christina teasing her sister's words?
"It's so much more advanced than the cochineal method used in Europe, oh yes, allow me to introduce you to cochineal. ”
Inside the glass cover, a porcelain bowl was full of small white insects, and the body was covered with white powder and filamentous substances.
"Uh... It's a disgusting feeling. Yu Xi looked at it and grinned.
"That's how I felt when I first saw this kind of thing. But slowly I got used to it. ”
"This insect has a white body, and rouge... ”
"You're right, it's crushed and ground that will cause a red rouge substance, called carmine acid, and then after processing, it will form the carmine we need, and add various pigments to it to form a rich and diverse color rouge. ”
Human beings, for the sake of their own beauty, have killed so many innocent little lives, how cruel...
Don't be there to show off your head. So why don't you say that you have to eat meat in order to live?
Li Zhiyou patted Yu Xi, who was in tears, and pulled her back from the world of delusion.
"I'm going to take you on a tour of ancient beauty techniques. For example, this. Christina gestured to a bronze mirror behind the glass cover.
The perimeter of the mirror is covered with a green substance.
"What's that. Is it rusty?"
"That's right, it's patina. ”
"Azeru, does patina have any effect in beauty? I don't think I've heard of this substance in any formula, and it seems to be poisonous. ”
"You're not wrong at all, there is no such recipe now, but in ancient Egypt, to be exact, the queen of ancient Egypt. This patina will be used to draw eye circles. ”
"Hey, that's incredible, isn't that a fire?"
"It's supposed to quench your thirst. ”
"That's pretty much it. ”
"Hehe, are we qualified to judge others?" Su Yirou sneered at a few girls who were sneering at the words, "Our ancestors also used lead-containing cosmetics to smear their faces in ancient times, called lead white, and modern cosmetics also contain mercury to a greater or lesser extent, isn't this a move to be with demons, but for the sake of a beautiful and moving appearance, any price can be paid." ”
"Hehe, Miss Su, your consciousness is very high. Indeed, women have always been like this, for the sake of beautiful appearance, any means can be used. ”
Then Christina took a few girls and Giorbona to visit her collection, which can be described as very rich, the act of applying vegetable oil to the face in the primitive society, the formula of using fish gelatin to cover wrinkles, Chinese hair oil, blush and yellow lips and other contents became the subjects of Christina's introduction.
After introducing the ancient style, she took a few people to the collection area on the other side and introduced them one by one. French perfumes, from the beginning of the development to the latest types of fragrances she has collected, can be described as a treasure trove of perfumes. Then there are some collectibles of international famous brands, from the beginning of the brand's birth, the founder's logo, the brand's logo, sub-categories and other categories, categories, main functions, and even posters and advertisements when they were launched.
After a long time in this area, they walked towards the last section under Christina's leadership.
This exhibition area is the most inconspicuous place in the room, only less than a square meter in size, and there are few exhibits in the glass case, except for a few bottles, there is nothing else, each glass bottle is affixed with a clear mark, and the glass cork is tightly sealed.
"Oh, after introducing cosmetics, I should also introduce you to a little bit of the taboos in cosmetics formulas, and the most obvious thing to note is that some ingredients in the formula will make the skin worsen, here are just some chemicals that I have summarized myself, and you can supplement if there are deficiencies. ”
"First of all, the first one, oil additives. Christina pointed to the bottle, and a very conspicuous oil label appeared in the eyes of several people.
"If the oil is overconsumed, it will cause the pores of the skin to enlarge, and too much oil will affect the normal oil secretion of the skin, causing the skin to be oily and messy. ”
"Emulsifiers. It can damage the structure of the skin. ”
"Pigmentation, if it is too much, will form pigmentation in the body"
"Formaldehyde, a medical preservative, seriously irritates and damages the structure of the skin... ”
Christina introduced the forbidden ingredients she had collected in cosmetics in one go, and every time she said it, these girls were terrified.
Take the first grease as an example, there is too much contact, the cheap alabaster that I used often when I was a child, and the soap that is very common on the market, the ingredient of which is sodium stearate. Contains a lot of oil, often used to wash the face and maintain when you are young, will make the skin more and more delicate, now look at it, it is not a matter of a while, not only to maintain the skin, it is clearly the opposite, and it is precisely because the skin in early childhood is more delicate, and the ability to renew is strong so that it has not caused a very bad effect.
"Are there any deficiencies in what I've introduced? ”
"And alcohol, Ms. Christina. Yu Xi said.
"Yes, I have considered this substance as well, but because it has the same effect as formaldehyde, the stimulating effect is the same, so I will put it all in the same category. Anything else?"
"Mercury and lead white. ”
"It's lead oxide, okay, I'll add it, it seems that there are more cosmetics that use this raw material in China, right? ”
"Ms. Christina, your sentence is a bit of a generalization, the raw materials of cosmetics are shared by the world, it is impossible for us to adopt them ourselves, we do not have a company like Coca-Cola in China, and even silk, which benefits the people of the world, we shared it with the people of the world during the Silk Road. ”
"Hahaha, Miss Su, your words are very sharp, I apologize to you for what I just said. ”
"Okay, I accept. Su Yirou accepted it unceremoniously.
After a tour of Christina's exclusive exhibition hall, several people were about to leave, and after her repeated retention, everyone had a rustic dinner before leaving, and got back into Giorbona's business car.
This trip from the south to the central part of the country seemed worthless except for the golden oak leaf trophy and certificate that Yu Xi had been holding in his hand.
Denver is getting farther and farther away, they come in a hurry, they leave in a hurry. Where are we going now? There is no clear goal.
Back to Jobona's manor?Please, how embarrassed to go back when you come out. Are they not here, the exact location is unknown, and it's just a waste of time to get there. It's hard to know where to go from here.
Lady Jobona had already taken Lynn out with her luggage, and it seemed that she had no intention of letting her go back.
Let's look into it when we get to the next city.
While everyone was discussing the next trip, Sue was pondering, she was thinking about another question, Christina and her, and they talked a lot, most of them were like passing clouds, and they quickly drifted away, but there was only one thing she cared about, and that was the Amazon of Excellence. (To be continued.) )
