Celebrity Endorsements

If you see an ad that Oprah is endorsing a product, does this make you want to run out and buy it? If you see something that says "as seen on Oprah", do you think, "well, if she says it's good, then it must be.". How much weight do these celebrity endorsements carry in your decision to purchase a product? Does seeing Sarah Jessica Parker on television promoting the latest hair color give you pause to think, "I want to look just like her" or how about Halle Berry in all the latest Revlon colors?
Although, I think it's very clever of advertisers to use these beautiful and power women to sell us on make-up, skin care and hair color, it is still up to us to decide which product will work best for our skin, our features and our hair. No one should ever make that decision for you, except you. However, if you want a good referral, ask a friend, who you know will tell you the truth....and, you can always come here! On a side note, I had a job interview today...fingers crossed.
