Florasis Stirs Up Discussion on Weibo
From: ChatGPT
In recent times, the spotlight in the Chinese cosmetics scene has turned towards Florasis. Earlier this month, this domestic makeup brand came under the limelight when famed beauty influencer, 'Lipstick King' Li Jiaqi, showcased one of their eyebrow pencils in a live broadcast.
However, some viewers baulked at the price tag of 79 yuan ($10.8) for a single eyebrow pencil, sparking a fiery response from Li, who retorted by questioning whether the viewers had earned the right to a pay raise through hard work.
This incident swiftly snowballed on social media, catapulting Florasis into widespread recognition.
On September 19, the brand took to social media to issue an apology for the delayed response to the uproar, acknowledging that this incident gave them a chance to tune in to the “consumer voices,” albeit without delving into a discussion on their pricing structure.
While the uproar managed to bolster Florasis' visibility in the Chinese makeup domain, it also seemingly nudged the brand to rethink its standing within the cosmetics sector, both locally and on a global stage. On September 26, Florasis unexpectedly proclaimed its aspiration to evolve into a premier international luxury cosmetics brand. The post declared, “Me, Florasis, I'm 6.5 years old,” continuing, “I harbor a dream: to burgeon into a high-end brand, deeply rooted in China, with sights set on the global stage.”
Nonetheless, the phrasing and timing appeared peculiar, stirring a mix of jest and bewilderment regarding Florasis' PR maneuvers, particularly as the brand's actions went beyond that single post.
On the very day, multiple posts and responses to online user comments were published from Florasis' account. It didn't just express a desire to morph into China's version of ‘Chanel' in the beauty realm, but also lauded its own initiatives in advancing women's mental wellness, safeguarding traditional heritage, pioneering in the cosmetics field, among others.
The hashtag “Huaxizi Lost It” is trending on Weibo, with netizens diverging in their interpretations of Florasis' online antics. Some speculate the brand has gone off the rails, while others perceive the entire saga as a deliberate social media charade aimed at diverting the discourse from the Li Jiaqi episode or a tactless marketing gimmick.

The post declared, “Me, Florasis, I'm 6.5 years old,” continuing, “I harbor a dream: to burgeon into a high-end brand, deeply rooted in China, with sights set on the global stage.”
虽然这场风波提高了花西子在中国化妆品领域的知名度，但似乎也促使该品牌重新考虑其在国内外化妆品行业的地位。9月26日，花西子出人意料地公开宣布了其发展成为国际顶级奢侈化妆品品牌的抱负。在其官方微博中写道：“我，花西子，6岁半，我有一个梦想，做一个立足本土，走向世界的高端品牌。”

📍此前，微信推出拍一拍功能时，「拍了拍」一开始被译成“You nudged xxx”，“xxx nudged you”。
不过，现在你再去看会发现，早就已经改为了“tickle”。至于为什么要改呢，个人猜测，可能是nudge nudge有不太正经的含义。作名词时，有个表达：nudge nudge (wink wink) 什么意思呢？something you say when you want to suggest that there is a sexual meaning in something that has just been said. 看到这儿，用户可能就不敢瞎拍了吧......
