Are they saying you can't be naturally beautiful? That you need make-up?

Or are they saying it could be either or...


Not really ranting, just sayin'

Maybe it's one, maybe it's the other.. I thought it was pretty clear.

Seems fairly self-explanatory. But anyway.

Maybe she's born with it - maybe the beauty is natural.
Maybe it's Maybelline - the "beauty" instilled by their product is good enough to look natural.


Underlying message of course, "If you weren't born with beauty, as defined by our marketing department, then you should buy our stuff, and then you will suddenly be beautiful."

They're saying you can't tell the difference.

Best I can make it out is:
Maybe(it's a possibility) she's (feminine pronoun of the third person, ask Bill C. on the 's part) born(brought forth by birth) with(characterized by or having) it(used to represent an inanimate thing understood, previously mentioned, about to be mentioned, or present in the immediate context), maybe(it's a possibility) it's (used to represent an inanimate thing understood, previously mentioned, about to be mentioned, or present in the immediate context, once again ask Bill) Maybelline.(Some brand of makeup)

It truly is a mystery. And what does the Pringles commercial mean when they say "once you pop, you can't stop". Pop what? Pop goes the weasel? Pop and lock? And stop what? Stop forest fires? Stop domestic violence? It's so vague...

I think they mean "pop" as a synonym for ejaculation...

Maybelline causes tumors. Ergo, when people walking down the street see the 8 inch growth on your forehead, they'll ask themselves whether you have a rare birth defect or are simply the victim of bad marketing.

maybe it was due to natural birth that she received the feature, or maybe it was due to the maybellline product that she has visually obtained that feature.

Seems like a lot of these "What does a slogan mean to me, I don't understand" threads lately.

I *almost* googled this hoping for pictures of some tragically unattractive girl made hot by makeup. I got as far as ctrl-c.

It must be the hangover slowing me down.
