Sefora V. Olta kids. Who will come out on top?
Sefora has reported on a shortage of popular skincare brands such as dull ingredients, Sober Rhino, and Winter Mondays. Since this epidemic happened in May 2024, the kids that tormented Sefora stores, workers, and other shoppers, had since been longing for their weekly sefora shopping spree. Once word got out that Sober Rhino was fully in stock at a Foreign land, Olta beauty, the Kids were relieved that they could restock their collection. To get more details on this epidemic we headed to our local mall to talk to some workers.
"Before this, I was terrorised by kids. They made me dread going to work because of the chaos. I too shop here, for the hair care of course but now, they turned to Olta, and I am relieved. They’re your problem now Olta!” Sefora worker Mr. Ping said. Right after that an Olta worker ran out screaming and crying from the store.
"I'm Mr. Lemons, don't forget it. I beg of you, please restock your Store! Who knew little girls could ruin your Mojo!" Olta worker, Mr.Lemons begged.
We wanted to speak to a kid who has always gone to Olta.
“At first, I was like happy Olta was getting more business, but then every time I came here, like the Sober Rhino skincare, my dermatologist prescribed for me, was literally like all gone! The testers, pallets, creams, pretty much every single product like in the store was just like destroyed!" Sophia Rich said. Sefora kid, Emily Johnson had Something else to say,
"Personally, I'm so outraged, like why is my favorite store that I definitely don't like destroy, is out of stock of my favorite products? I need to stay up to date with my product like, I only have three glow drop containers left, I need them to do my grwms, and like Olta just doesn't do it for me you know, its too cheap.''
One of the things that Johnson stated was the price difference between the two beauty franchises. Lemmons added,
"We since had to raise the prices due to the Sefora customers taking over, leaving us on the verge of going out of business.” Although Olta's prices are different from Seforas, uneducated kids still are convinced they are making their parents pay a fortune. Johnson says
"My mommy loves spending her money on me! sure I spend 200+ each week, but like it's just girlhood you know?." Rich wanted to say something about money as well
"Those who Spend over $200 for 3 Items don't realise they are being ripped off. At Olta, it is way more affordable, for $200 at Olta you could get like almost triple the products you get at Sefora. Like also, Sober Rhino is much cheaper here than at Sefora."
Over the intercom, we got an update. Sefora would be restocking in 1 day. Olta was left looking like a deserted island with nothing left. Sefora kids camped outside of Sefora waiting for the restock.
"I'm so excited" Johnson said. She continued on, “My 2 weeks I spent at Olta was like a literal nightmare!”
"I'm quitting," Mr. Ping told us.
