iklan sabun giv

Well blow me down with a feather!

Someone speaking "Indonesian" searched on Google Indonesia "iklan sabun giv" and found my entries on Giv soap and proceeded to visit seven pages corresponding, more or less, to all my entries on the aforesaid.

I can only wonder whether it was their beautiful model or their advertising department?

Giv - with Golden Extract

"Golden honey gives a radiant glowing skin. With golden honey perfume for a confident perfume."

The Giv advertising agency/department seems to have exhausted itself of how to describe a new soap fragance ...

Giv - with Rose Oil

This is definitely one for the girls ...

"Rose oil gives a luxurious and smooth skin feeling. With feminine perfume for a romantic personality".

Although I've been using this gloriously pink addition to Giv's range of beauty products, my body hair has not diminished and Morais has not remarked on any feminine traits developing.

I have also just noticed that it is "International" (top right) ... indeed, if it makes its way from Indonesia to our tiny country of São Tomé e Príncipe!

Giv - with Warm Olive Oil

The advertising agency for Giv soap never ceases to amaze me ... "Warm olive oil is rich in protein & natural oil ingredients, making your skin healthy and shimmering. With exotic perfume for an exotic personality." Hints here of the effects of Daly's Skin Shimmer. Now we all know olive oil is good for you. Why warm, as opposed to cool, olive oil has an additional quality I really don't know. And the ingredients list olive oil "extract", whatever that is. However, what is really interesting about this soap is its colour. The last time I bought Marseillaise olive oil soap, it was, as you would expect, olive green in colour. Not so with Giv ... see below.




Is this a new variety of olive?

And I am now really mystified as to which variety of Giv their model is using - a different one each day? She must be elegant, exotic, energetic, refreshing etc etc all at the same time! Sounds like the woman of my dreams!

Giv - with Soy Bean Extract

I asked Morais what is Soy Bean Extract and, of course, he replied "Stupid - cooking oil!" Obvious, huh? I would add to this soy sauce etc etc.

We all know that soya beans are packed with protein and good for you ... but did you know this about soya bean soap?

"Soy bean extract is well-known for its benefit to make skin bright and smooth. With classic perfume for an elegant personality."

Morais noted that Give with Soy Bean Extract also contains coconut oil and palm oil - it should be triply good for frying my eggs!

As Giv with Pearl Extract and Giv with Curcuma didn't quite "do it" for me, I'm giving the latest variety a trial-run.

I'm a bit disappointed that Giv Soya and Giv Curcuma use the same model on their packaging - which does she use?

Quackery

... or "Mr Morais' Patent Dermatologicgal Lotion". This product claims to clear up a whole range of skin problems - heat and sweat rashes, acne, spots and a whole lot more as well as promising, like my favourite soap products Giv, Lux and Santex, general cleansing properties that will leave your skin ... well, just SO.

Now this blog, since its beginning, has been a vehement opponent of quack medicine. Since, on Day 1 of Kezia's treatment, her consultant warned us of the dangers of of the quackery regarding leukaemia treatment out here on the Internet, I have become aware of the amount of quackery bullshit out there regarding any complaint you can think of.

However, "Mr Morais' Patent Dermatologicgal Lotion" is different and I have personal faith in it (especially since I saw the immdediate effect of Daly's Skin Shimmer last week). Mr Morais, the lotion's inventor, is a personal friend of mine and is someone in whom I have total confidence and I believe vice versa. Last week he confided in me the lotion's secret ingredient ...

Duck Dung!

Quack Quack ... contact me if you're interested!

Daly Skin Shimmer

Following on from my previous posts (here and here and here) on soap advertisements, I now discover Tess Daly Beauty's Daly Skin Shimmer. Giv soap's publicity writer cannot come anywhere near this copy:

"When I want to pull out all the stops, this is the product I reach for, it really is over the top glamour and sex appeal at its best! The body oil gives an unbelievable sheen and the soft glitter particles leave a high shimmer glow that's addictive!"

My boss' ex-spouse (in the UK) sent him a few tubes in an effort to seduce him into a second honeymoon in the Canaries! He hasn't fallen for it but we applied some to our colleague Americo who was unable to wash it off and went home fearful of how his wife would react!

Moreover, it's on sale in Marks and Spencers!

Update: We gather it works ... but not quite in the way Americo expected! When he got home last night it certainly raised passions ... "Where the hell have you been?" etc etc!
