Ever splurged on a beauty product with a fancy brand name you couldn’t pronounce? We’ve been there.
The good news is it’s nothing a cheat guide can’t fix. From Lancôme to L’Occitane, we’ve narrowed down the brands with most perplexing pronunciations and broken them down phonetically so that you’ll no longer have to mutter SK-II under your breath.
You’re welcome!
