Psychologically untested


I'm one of those unlucky people that always gets stopped by those annoying sales people. My cousin said it's because I have one of "those" faces. I guess she meant sweet and friendly. Not gullible. Anyway, I usually say no and walk away. Sometimes, they convince you enough to stop. Every now and then you end up buying something. I bought this eyeliner recently but it was a well-known brand, not one of those shady kiosk ones. And the sales lady simply had to add "ophthalmologically tested" to her sales pitch. Yeah, one would assume that eye liner would be tested by ophthalmologists. Anyway, my eyes did not react as wonderfully as claimed and it got me thinking that these "tested" products hardly tell us the results of those tests.
