Philosophy - Cinnamon Buns Shampoo, Conditioner, and Body Wash

Yum. Philosophy is well known for these all in one body wash, shampoo, and conditioners that smell exactly like pie, cake, and cookies. Other great 'flavors' are pumpkin pie, waffle cone, red delicious apple, and lemon custard. I don't know how they do it, but they get the scents exactly right. There is something so special and decadent about sudsing up in a steamy hot shower surrounded by the smell of some sinful dessert. Call me crazy, but it seems to satisfy my cravings for sweets. The cinnamon buns is really wonderful. I'm sad when I don't have a bottle of this in my shower. I don't miss any of the other 'flavors' but this one is a must have. Plus this formulation is a good shampoo/conditioner combo to have in your rotation for those days when you don't have a lot of time to wash your hair. As a body wash it's fantastic, very moisturizing. So much so, you really don't need a shave gel. As a bubble bath, it's amazing. When you think about it, you get a lot of bang for your $16. Yum.

The Controversial Ordinary

Image
So recently I dealt with a difficult loss. I was in pretty bad shape and after a week or so found myself looking at a truly messed up stranger in the mirror. Facebook must have known I needed a distraction because I found myself part of this new group about all things The Ordinary along with another group called FOREVER 35 . Lord did I go down the rabbit hole. These were my people. Just as obsessed with skincare as I normally am. I dare say even worse. The concept of The Ordinary is right up my alley. Individual ingredients sold separately for shockingly low prices. I'm the person who at times has purchased ingredients wholesale in bulk to make my own moisturizer. So this of course intrigued me. Now I want to preface this by saying you really do need to do your research before buying all of The Ordinary products and slapping them on your face. This is pretty potent stuff. One poor soul posted a photo today of a nasty chemical burn on her cheek from putting a high concentrate

The Essence of the Korean 10 Step Regime

Image
Like everyone else, I fell down the rabbit hole of the infamous Korean 10 step skincare regime. I was already dabbling in Korean and Japanese skincare for a while as evidenced by this blog. The 10 step regime however was daunting. In reality, we’re not talking about 10 steps every time you wash your face. More on that later. There is some debate out there about what exactly is included in this legendary regime. I would posit there should also be some debate about who, at what age group, should partake in each step. That said here is a basic list:               Eye makeup remover (at night)               Oil based cleanser               Foam based cleanser               Exfoliating cleanser              Toner              Essence              Serums, also known as ampoules              Eye mask or face mask              Eye cream              Moisturizer              Sunscreen (in the morning) As I mentioned, some things drop in and out on a daily basis or even depend

To Good Genes or not to Good Genes. That is the Question.

There is a lot of buzz out there for the cult favorite GOOD GENES ($105). But Sunday Riley, the brand which makes this cult phenomenon is also cultivating a lot of buzz for bad business practices. I'm not one for supporting a company that fakes reviews. Maybe those fake reviews created the buzz to make GOOD GENES phenomenon; maybe they didn't. But in truth real people do love the product. Because lactic acid is an effective ingredient. Lactic acid, is lactic acid though. There are plenty of other brands that carry a good lactic acid product. For a one to one, meaning basically the same product/function, I actually prefer Tata Harper RESURFACING SERUM ($88). GOOD GENES is good but in my experience RESURFACING SERUM from Tata Harper is better and more effective. I recently discovered Thrive OVERNIGHT SENSATION Brightening Sleep Mask ($62) which combines glycolic and lactic acid and that is working well for me right now. I've happily used Peter Thomas Roth Unwrinkl
