Tang Dynasty:Live with princess Changele, Li Er is going crazy

Chapter 68



Chapter 68: Applying Lipstick for Princess Changle!

Xiao Ran looked at Li Lizhi at the dinner table and asked, “Are you still planning to visit the empress tonight?”

Li Lizhi shook her head, “Not going tonight!”

“Understood.” If she’s not going, Xiao Ran won’t bother preparing dinner.

“What are those?” Li Lizhi pointed to a pile of items. Xiao Ran had been out for a while this afternoon buying these things.

“All women’s stuff. I’ll tell you after dinner. Mostly skincare products,” Xiao Ran explained.

Li Lizhi got curious and hastened her eating. Xiao Ran realized that cosmetics, even from the 21st century, could be profitable in that era, especially in the palace and among wealthy families.

After dinner, Li Lizhi dragged Xiao Ran to the pile and picked up a beautifully packaged box. “Is this lipstick? Looks fancier!” “No, this is lipstick!” Xiao Ran corrected.

“Lipstick? Looks similar to lip balm,” Li Lizhi commented.

“Lipstick, or lip rouge, differs from lip balm or lip gloss. Lipstick is for coloring lips and making makeup last,” Xiao Ran explained.

Li Lizhi got interested, “I want to try!”

“Sure.” Xiao Ran handed her a box of pink lipstick and a box. “Go to the bathroom and try it.”

In front of the mirror, Xiao Ran opened the box. Li Lizhi leaned forward with anticipation.

“Lips slightly parted,” Xiao Ran instructed, gently stroking her face.

“Exactly like this?” Li Lizhi asked.

“Yes, this way. You can see and remember for the future,” Xiao Ran said.

Li Lizhi shook her head, “I won’t look. You can do it for me in the future.”

Xiao Ran chuckled, “Applying lipstick has nuances that vary for each person.”

“How is it different?” Li Lizhi inquired.

“Everyone’s lips are different in shape and thickness, so they are also different. You can choose how you like and look good and explore slowly,” Xiao Ran explained.

Li Lizhi nodded, “That’s what I mean!”

“The same lipstick on the lips, if it is not applied well, will not only look ugly but also greasy, so the method and steps are very important,” Xiao Ran continued, demonstrating while Li Lizhi occasionally asked questions.

“There are many other things; it’s definitely not just lipstick,” Xiao Ran added as he continued with the makeup.

Soon, they finished.

“Looks good. See how it looks now. If you don’t like it, you can change it. The lipstick comes in many different colors,” Xiao Ran suggested.

Li Lizhi turned to look in the mirror, examining her lips. They appeared delicate and glamorous, quite different from her usual look.

“Does it look good?” Li Lizhi asked Xiao Ran.

“It looks good, my princess. You are naturally beautiful; you don’t even need makeup,” Xiao Ran praised.

Li Lizhi, pleased with the compliment, giggled a bit.

“Alright, let’s continue discussing other things. We can’t just sell thermal underwear when we deliver it to the empress tomorrow. A single product isn’t conducive to expansion and success. We need to diversify and achieve more success,” Xiao Ran strategized.

“As for the profit split, let’s keep it the same as before. The empress can decide prices,” Xiao Ran suggested, acknowledging Empress Changsun’s understanding of the market.

“What about the cost?” Li Lizhi inquired.

“I’ve prepared a spreadsheet. You can take a look later. Buying in bulk is cheaper, which are currently the retail prices,” Xiao Ran explained.

“Got it!”

“Take these and try them out first. See if others like them,” Xiao Ran said, referring to the concubines and princesses in the palace.
