生活英语情景口语100主题 26. Beauty and Cosmetics 美容化妆

Dialogue 1 A(Addison) J(James)

A: How can I help you?

J: I'd like to buy some perfume for my girlfriend.

A: Do you know what kind of scent she usually wears?

J: She usually doesn't wear anything but a few drops of Chanel No. 5. But I'd like to buy her a new fragrance.

A: Ok, here are some of our most popular perfumes.

J: Which one would you recommend?

A: Personally, I quite like the new perfume by Clinique. It's a subtle flowery scent. What do you think?

J: That smells great. I'll take one bottle, please.

A: Would you like to buy any other cosmetics for your girlfriend? We have a full range of products from cosmetics to skin cleansers and moisturizers.

J: That's ok. She normally just wears a little foundation and some loose powder, and I wouldn't know what shade to buy.

A: How about some lipstick? Every woman needs a nice tube of red lipstick.

J: She doesn't usually wear lipstick. She thinks it makes her nose look too big.

A: How about some mascara? That will make her eyes look bigger.

J: No thank you. She has big enough eyes as it is.

A: I know what she would like-some whitening cream.

J: No thanks. Western women usually try to make their skin darker, not lighter.

A: Will that be all then?

J: That will be all. You've been very helpful, thanks.

Dialogue 2

J: How can I help you?

A: I'm here for a facial. I made an appointment over the phone for 3:30 today.

J: What's your name?

A: Addison.

J: Ok. Which facial would you like ? We have five different kinds of facials.

A: Which would you recommend?

J: Well, since it's summer and it looks like you've had quite a bit of sun, I'd recommend our summer special. It's expecially suited for individuals with sensitive skin.

A: What does it include?

J: The facial will start with a thorough cleansing.

A: Does it include a facial mask and a massage?

J: Yes. The stimulation mask promotes blood flow and will firm up the skin. You can also choose to either get a hand or back massage as well.

A: Will you exfoliate the skin as well?

J: Yes. We'll also apply some of our special day cream that will moisturize your skin and protect it from the sun.

A: That sounds great. I'll have that one then.
