The other day, I was headache-y (sinus). It was during one of my insomniac fits, I hadn't slept for days. Plus, I was pms-ing. A charming combination. I reached over towards a tub of LUSH Whipstick, which I had poo-poo-ed earlier for smelling like orange-tainted cocoa puffs. And you know what? It made me feel better. Happier. Funny, isn't it? I don't even like chocolate, but sometimes... chocolate makes the world a better place.
Alternatively, I was contemplating my tub of Nuxe Rêve de Miel last night. It's a cult product. Why? It feels good. It's a concentrated, grapefruit-scented, matte-textured balm—and it feels expensive, as luxe in texture as a Lancôme face cream. And what a great name! "Dream of Honey". The frosted jar is heavy. As is the price: $21. Is it really so great? I think... not. But it really seems magical, and I can't dissociate myself from the image. Were it Neutrogena, though, I wouldn't have looked twice at it. We're all swayed, even the most cynical of consumers, by appearances.Labels: beauty notes, LUSH, nuxe
