My loyalty to some favorite brands has been fading lately.
I asked myself, what is the benefit of using the same product all the time? It is just a matter of feeling comfortable and prestige. I let myself be too lazy to look for and try other products. If I keep my mind open, I can find other products with the same quality (even better) at a cheaper price. Right?

I will provide an example. I like Maybelline lipstick. The colors are soft, high in moisture and vitamin E, and durable (not easily broken). However, many Indonesian lipstick brands also have the same qualities and are offered at a lower price. Consequently, I chose to purchase these more affordable local products instead.
I also apply an open mindset when choosing food, clothing, and home furnishings. This openness can stimulate the development of new industries in our country, allowing them to compete and demonstrate that their products are worth buying.
Favorite products are usually controlled by large companies. They are already rich and have many customers. Don’t let them kill smaller industries through our favoritism.
