Philosophy Field of Flowers: Field of (Freesia) Dreams

August 24th, 2009 by Karen 12 Comments

philosophy-field-of-flowers
A wee random sampling of goals from my bucket list:

  • Have a massive balloon drop from the ceiling, like at the end of David Bowie’s Modern Love video
  • Achieve total and complete self-awareness (not likely, but a girl can dream)
  • Twirl through a field of blooming freesia (assuming my allergy meds are working, of course).

Thanks to Philosophy Field of Flowers Perfumed Shower Gel ($16) and Ultra-Rich Body Lotion ($24), I can *almost* cross that third one off my list.

Why freesia? It’s one of my favorite flowers — so hopeful, innocent and optimistic.

Both the frothy shower gel and the rich body lotion leave a lovely scent that lingers on my skin for hours. They smell exactly (aren’t the bottles adorable?) the way I imagine that field would smell, like a mix of springtime dew and sunshine as far as the eye can see. 🙂

Unfortunately, both products are a little more expensive than I’d like, but the scent — oh, the scent. It’s intoxicating! Makeup and Beauty Blog Rating: B+

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    Hi Karen! I just realized I haven’t been on your site in a few months (I know – shame on me!)

    This is so tantalising but Philosophy is very overpriced in Australia!

    Maybe I’ll have a sniff when this comes out over here.

      Hi Tiffany,

      Oh, totally! The scent is really light, too, so I’m guessing it would appeal to a lot of women.

      Hi Mish,

      LOL, whatever it is I hope it doesn’t involve doing yoga in a hot room (long story).

      That’s Tabs, btw. He’s the cat that turned me into a crazy cat lady.

    How cute are those bottles? Ah yes, the smell of freesias…now that spring’s popping up here at head-quarters, my garden will be blooming with them. Wanna come twirling with me? 😀

      Hi Marce,

      How lovely! I bet they smell so good when they’re in full bloom. Are you an avid gardener? I’ve only grown tomatoes and houseplants, but I enjoy it.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my two-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my cat (Tabs).
