History

First steps: the model takes shape from 10909 to 1956


In 1909, young chemist and natural entrepreneur Eugène Schueller sets up the company that will later become L’Oréal.

Everything begins with one of the first hair dyes, which he designs, produces and sells to hairdressers in Paris.

The move forges the first link in the chain that is to become L’Oréal “DNA”: using research and innovation to enhance beauty.

L’Oréal on the road to greatness from 1957 to 1983

These are the formative years of “Le Grand L’Oréal”.

At the instigation of Chairman François Dalle, the Group starts to expand internationally.

Acquisitions of strategic brands mark the beginning of a period of spectacular growth for the company. Emblematic products come into being.

The company motto is “Savoir saisir ce qui commence” (seize new opportunities).

Becoming number one in the beauty industry from 1984 to 2000

These twelve years are marked by a great period of growth for L'Oréal, mainly driven by the significant investments made by the group in the field of research.

Alongside these efforts are strategic product launches that not only make history, but also succeed in strengthening the Group’s brand image.

In 1988, François Dalle's successor, the research and development pioneer Charles Zviak, hands over the reins of the company to Lindsay Owen-Jones, a truly outstanding director.

Under his management, the Group would completely change in scope to become the world leader in cosmetics through the worldwide presence of its brands and strategic acquisitions.


The diversity of beauty throughout the world from 2001 - present

There is no single type of beauty; it is a multiple-faceted quality framed by different ethnic origins, aspirations, and expectations that reflect the world’s intrinsic diversity.

With a portfolio of powerful, international brands, L’Oréal enters the 21st century by embracing diversity in its global growth agenda.

Headed since 2006 by Chairman Lindsay Owen-Jones, and Chief Executive Officer Jean-Paul Agon, the Group continues to make new acquisitions to cover the world’s varied cosmetic needs, and to undertake new socially responsible initiatives in the interests of sustainable development for all.

Charlieissocoollike

Some of you must be asking me what is this? Is this some kind of food? or maybe a pet name? or a diary? phbbtt* no! This is a youtube name from a British vlogger named Charlie McDonnel. You can google him and read his wikipedia :) I watched every of his video and I 'like' his page in facebook so I can follow him and be his stalker. what? no Im not a stalker. -.-' anyway, of all the things that he'd post, I really like this one! I made this chocolate brownies after 3 days he posted the video. It was beautifully done! sadly, I dont have my canon 500d camera with me and my phone's camera sucks since Im using the old Sony ericsson w810i which my sister gave me :(
So here, I want to share with you the video. enjoy! :)

Container as Content

This series of ads show an anti smoking campaign illustrating various other warnings and then comparing it with the warning given on a cigarette pack. The advertisement aims to get people to understand the meaning of a warning. It is not a caution and something that will happen to everyone else. It is real, and people increasingly tend to ignore anti-smoking warnings.








This is an advertisement for 3M security glass. The company was so sure that their glass was unbreakable, they put real money inside it and put it out at a bus stop, a pretty risky advertisement if you ask me. They must have been absolutely positive that their product wouldn't break which in itself tells a lot about the product to the customer. I think this is a really neat ad because it effectively puts the product into use and really shows the public how confident 3M is in their product. Now I am not sure if a bus stop is the best spot for an ad like this, not really what I see as its target audience, but 3M sells various other things. Their main expertise is windshield film which people need very strong glass for.



Here is another clear example for Chuppa Chups lollipop:

Murphy's Law

This is what I've got from wikipedia - Murphy's law is an adage or epigram that is typically stated as: "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong".

but then I kept on searching and I finally get this one from a website. So these are basically the Murphy's Law:

# If anything can go wrong, it will

# If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause
the most damage will be the one to go wrong

# If anything just cannot go wrong, it will anyway

# If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which something can go wrong,
and circumvent these, then a fifth way, unprepared for, will promptly develop

# Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse

# If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something

# Nature always sides with the hidden flaw

Mr. Zul posted in MMLS for our reference to create the box (which we put our final mock up inside). Thank you! :)
