Packaging Grievance's.

Forgive my rant. If you don't like to hear me complain, then just bypass this post. But I have a grievance.

I need to make a complaint to the packaging and/or art designers for many of the cosmetic products.

Seriously, I am tired of having to squint my eyes and scan the product packages (usually the outer carton, box, or back of the bottle or jar) for not only the name of the product and what it is used for, but for the directions. Scanning through the small print and multiple languages is a waste of my time. I can understand if a product is say a French product that is sold in both the United States and France. Print one side of the box in English and the other side in French. I do not need to sift my way through 5 or 6 languages to see what I need.

 

It really is frustrating.

Make it easier for us, the consumer. If I can not go into Sephora and pick up a skin care item, read what it is, what is is used for, and how to use it - then I would not buy it. Plain and simple. 

Am I the only one who feels this way?

heck no!

i feel the same way and i speak several languages. It's pretty annoying, but i guess the companies save money by moy having to do so many versions...

ah well!

I'm not so annoyed with the multi languages but the fine print! But it's precisely becos of the multi languages that are causing the fine prints so yes, they're a big culprit and something's got to go.

No you are not the only one, i go crazy all the time and know exactly how u feel. it is os annoying, it drives me nuts. like couple days ago i bought a mascara from clarins, and i was trying to read the paper that came inside the box and it took me like five minutes to find the so invisble english version. it had me thinking that i was blind, or something. not only this brand but all other brands too. stop it please! the product would also probably be cheaper for us, if there was no need for extra space to be pon the product, and extra translations.
