As I mentioned earlier this week, I made a trip to Sephora with my new partner in shopping crimes, Sophia. The evening's big purchases included the philosophy gift set (which contained a bottle of their 'purity' face wash and a tub of 'hope in a jar'), more Bare Minerals Mineral Veil (which I now can't live without), and a bottle of my former signature scent, 'Very Irresistible' by Givenchy.
I mention the perfume because - I just had a revelation.
Why am I spending $50 on a bottle of perfume I adore, and then only wearing it at work, where I don't really have time to sniff my arm and hair and wrists all day to enjoy it? Why is it Wrong to put perfume on for yourself?
It's not. So there.
So, after a riveting new episode of "Top Model," I washed my face and applied my new cream*. Then - I did it. I spritzed a bit of my old favorite on my fingers and ran them through my hair. For good measure, I put on my short, satin, black kimono.
YES! You, too, can be sexy for yourself (and your boyfriend, if he's looking up from the Mets game for longer than 10 seconds!) on a random Wednesday night. Do it, man. All of a sudden, instead of feeling like a sack of potatoes, I feel sleek and sexy and I love the way I smell. What can be better than that?
*Loving your new facial cleansing/moisturizing routine. So far, although I've only been a faithful customer for 24 hours, I am LOVING this philosophy product line. The cleanser is like ... wow. Wait. Let me compose myself. I'm all excited over here.
The cleanser, like the cream, has this amazing, natural herbs and lavender scent. It's not perfume, it's just the way the product smells naturally. It's a creamy liquid, more watery than creamy and man - it actually feels like it's spreading over your pores and totally wiping them clean. It's low-lather, which is nice because that means there's little to no detergents in it (hence why it's so gentle). And it really gets you prepared for your next step - the hope in a jar.
Ladies. Damn. Give me a few more days, but I'm pretty sure I'll be forcing you all to buy it. It's got a form of lactic acid in it, so it exfoliates and gives you a healthy glow. It's mildly tingly, but they DO make a sensitive skin version, FYI. But my favorite part?
It melts away into your skin. Once you have it on, it soaks in, and there's no slightly tacky, sticky residue on your skin. It's on, it does it's job, then it just ... goes away.
I'll keep ya posted ...

Gotta tell you - meant to do this back when you made this post, but a few weeks back I bought myself some Hope in a Jar and I have to tell you - I'm totally addicted!
