PAUL SMITH ROSE
Turkish Rose – Magnolia – Violet – Soft Musk – Woody Accord – Green Tea

I have been wanting to try Paul Smith Rose for a few years now after seeing it on display (above photo.) :deco1: When I saw Yesstyle offering the body lotion I decided to finally get my hands on it! I simply love it! It is by far my favorite rose-scented lotion now! It has a really “green” scent to it. It’s not just a rose petal-like scent, but it’s more realistic. I feel I can smell the fresh cut green stem in there too. :deco1: It’s really true to a bouquet of roses. And the formula itself is wonderfully luxurious. It comes out not too creamy but not runny either. When it goes on it feels slightly oily :deco13: but it actually absorbs cleanly into the skin! No residue! This is now my favorite morning lotion because it absorbs quickly and dries clean so I can wear it under heavy clothing without feeling I’m getting greasy film on them. And the scent sticks around for quite some time. I often don’t even wear a perfume when I have it on because the lotion is enough. :ok:

Currently Yesstyle is sold out of just the lotion but they do still have this lotion + fragrance package in stock. I might have to look into getting the fragrance too since I’m in love with this lotion so much. :deco2: :deco1:

Not much aside from the multi-stage cold I have. :deco13: I had to run out to the pharmacy today for more medicine. I’ve already gone through what I picked up last week. But I know I’m not alone. :!?: :cry: The sneezing and coughing in my office alone tells me that. Thank you everyone for the well wishes. I’ll try to get to responding to the week-old questions and comments people have left so sorry if I’ve missed it. :deco13:

I had a good Thanksgiving though. :deco10: I felt well enough at the time to bake the pumpkin pie and eat some dinner. We marathon’d season one of Game of Thrones. Also watched Bridesmaids finally. I was excited to see Chris O’Dowd from The IT Crowd as the love interest! :deco12:

Anyway, I’m still not feeling quite myself but what have I been up to~~ :angry:
This new medicine, for my now chest cold, doesn’t make me drowsy like the others. So I’m awake and restless. Figured I’d finally blog! :angry:

While at the Pharmacy I picked up these acne patches since I have a pretty bad cyst on my chin now from not being able to maintain my normal skincare regimen while being sick. I’ve used one before on a cystic spot on my chin and it definitely helped speed up the process of healing. But I think they’re being discontinued now since it was on clearance at 50% off?? Or maybe it’s just some weird Black Friday like sale on acne remedies, hahaha!

Speaking of Black Friday. Another thing I was doing this past week was watching QVC. I ordered a Clarisonic. It was a Mia2 bundle on a one-day only Black Friday price. Of course the throbbing zit on my chin helped encourage the purchase. I’ve wanted one for a while. I’m excited and nervous. :deco13: Should come in this week :ok:

I did make it out for some Black Friday shopping. Not waiting in lines or anything insane though. :ok: It was actually the first time I had been out of the house (not including 2 days of work) in over a week. Madewell was the best turn out! There was a skirt there I had been wanting for weeks. I was hoping it was on sale finally. We got there at 7am and not only was the skirt already 50%… they had a “before 10am sale” where you got an extra 50% off the sale price! I grabbed it and two flannel blouses also double discounted.

Oversized cardigan and plaid scarf/wrap from H&M

New peacot from H&M too

This month’s magazines from Fujisan.com. They shipped my Sweet issue via FEDEX!! I was super happy to see that!

This new issue of Used Mix is excellent. It’s one of the bests in a while.

A small package I got in the mail from a friend. Tote bag and catalogs from Image, DURAS, and Peach John. Plus some cute socks! Image has Rinka on it :)

Well it’s been an hour. Time to take my acne patch off. Hope my zit has shrunk! :deco6:
