Philosophy Pineapple Coconut Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Bath

philosophy pineapple coconut

I have been on the hunt for that perfect Pina Colada scent reminiscent of my very favorite beachy cocktail. Can this one perfectly replicate the frosty, frothy scent of creamy coconut milk and fresh, juicy pineapple, sans calories?

The scent is “infused with the essence of pure, refreshing coconut juice and a hint of pineapple.” Perfect to pack for a weekend at the beach as it’s a shampoo, shower gel and bubble bath all in one! It certainly sounds like my holy grail, no?

Philosophy Pineapple Coconut Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Bath is available from Philosophy for $16.

What’s in My Shower: November Edition

whats in my shower november

So technically it’s not November anymore. Can you believe?

How does time slip away from me like so? As I’m lying in bed, battling my cold, I realized I didn’t share what’s in my shower for the month of November.

L’Occitane Amande Shower Oil

Every winter I bust out this shower oil because it’s so moisturizing and smells delicious. Funny thing is, I haven’t bought this since 2007 when I stocked up during a Sephora Friends & Family sale. Come to my house and I won’t have any back stock of canned goods or paper towels, but I have enough L’Occitane Amande Shower Oil to last me until 2013.

Molton Brown Celestial Maracuja Sugar Polish ($60)

I received a sample of this scrub during an event at Fashion Week a few seasons ago and I’ve repurchased it twice since (mainly because Janey won’t keep her paws off it!). The sugar is coarse so be sure to stir well with your finger as it tends to settle at the bottom of the jar. I absolutely adore how this makes my skin feel and smell.

Nexxus Diametress Shampoo & Sublime Volume Conditioner

I picked up this shampoo & conditioner at Walmart last month. Many times I choose my shampoo much like I choose my football teams—based on looks and looks alone. These sleek bottles caught my eye and they’ve been working great on my fine hair.

I know I have a new face wash in there, too, but I’m feeling feverish and weak and just can’t get off my butt to go see what it is. Next time, I promise!

Molton Brown SLEEP Cedrus Bathing Elixir

Molton Brown Sleep Cedrus

The dark, somewhat dreary fall days often leave me exhausted yet ironically keyed up.

Sometimes, I need to seek solace in beauty products to calm my nerves and slow myself down after a hectic day. This Molton Brown Sleep Cedrus Bathing Elixir sounds as though it would be a divine way to help myself drift off into dreamland.

Its moisture-rich formula contains Cedrus tree oil from the Atlas Mountains to aid in relaxation, sweet Florida orange oil and Bulgarian lavender oil. (I’m hoping I’ll love the scent as much as I love their Intoxicating Davana Blossom Foaming Bath Oil.)

SLEEP Cedrus Bathing Elixir is part of the new Molton Brown’s new sleep body therapies range and is available online from MoltonBrown.com for $34.

Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Bath Foam

viktor-rolf-flowerbomb-bath-foam

While I love Flowerbomb’s rich, sweet and mysterious fragrance all year, its spiciness lends itself especially well to fall.

Now that the air is finally becoming crisp and cool, I can think of no indulgence I’d enjoy more than relaxing into a hot tub full of luxurious foam exquisitely scented with Flowerbomb. According to the website, “A single drop of this golden oil wondrously transforms your bath into a pleasure-giving milky fluid exhaling the gentle, rounded fragrance of Cattleya Orchid, Freesia and Centifolia Rose.”

Sign me up!

Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Bath Foam is available from Saks Fifth Avenue for $90.
