Laura Geller says repeatedly, "it starts its life as a cream".  I cringed the first time I heard it.  A cream isn't living.  It doesn't have a life.  Other vendors have now started saying it.  The It Cosmetics lady and others have copied it.  "It starts its LIFE as a ..."  Yes, this is a small thing and yes, I have a life and this comment doesn't mean that I sit around worrying about the goofy statements, but yes, it seems like they could think of a more appropriate way to say what they mean.  "Before this is a powder, it is blended into a cream" or "This powder is made into a cream first and then dried into a powder." 

@santorini, I respectfully refer you to the complete definition of the word "life" as can be found in any dictionary.
