Today’s WWD reports a bite-size partnership between Sephora and Dylan’s Candy Bar.
They’re putting out a line of bath and body products for this holiday season, all inspired by desserts. Picture stuff like Strawberry Licorice lip balm and Birthday Cake Batter lotion.
Even though we’ve never been fans of the gourmand trend for beauty (not even Laura Mercier’s Crème Brûlée could convince that we want to smell like food), we know this will be a big hit for teenage girls.
But what will happen to Philosophy’s adorable Gingerbread Man scrubs and Peppermint Cheesecake shower gels, so popular during those last few weeks of December (and really, what almost everybody knows the brand for), especially at Sephora?
Could be some tension on those shelves.
The nice girls over at Philosophy read my story about swearing off makeup and squealed, “We have a present for you!”
I love presents.
But it wasn’t a present so much as a product called, “The Present: Clear Makeup.”
The label reads, “Do you crave airbrushed skin?” Yes. “Do your wrinkles and pores deserve to appear minimized?” Yes. “Are you searching for a new foundation?” Don’t tell Natalie, but yes.
So I stashed it in my purse when she wasn’t looking and tried it in my bathroom after my roommates left for work even though it looks just like lotion, so I wasn’t technically breaking my no makeup vow.
And now that I’ve been using it for a week in place of moisturizer, my skin’s never looked better. I know I said that last time, but I’m seriously catching up to Natalie’s glow.
The only thing that’ll get me closer is the salmon and berry diet from Prom Countdown 2002. But that’s about a million times harder than slathering some moisturizer on every morning.
