Since I’ve yet to organize all my things from NYC, here is a summary of my recent shopping haul upon returning to Rome. The house was closed up for three weeks, I used up all of my bath products while travelling, I bought a ton of new cosmetics and clothes while traveling… which means three basic needs: candles, hangers, cases and shower goodies!
My trip took me a total of one hour, in the rain, pretty much running and texting at the same time. All the places I needed to go were around the same area in Rome, so I managed to do it all in an… almost straight line. This post, however, is organized in themes! First of all…
Shower goodies:
Gift box from LUSH, including “Popcorn” Lip Scrub, “Vanilla Dee-Lite” Body Lotion, “Ro’s Argan” Body Conditioner and “It’s Raining Men” Shower Gel along with a solid soap, lotion and massage oil.
-
- LUSH shower gel, not sure what the name of this scent is in English, but it smells pretty damn good.
-
- Laura Mercier “Almond and Coconut” bath set – scrub, body butter and shower cream – and Silk Creme foundation.
Bottega Verde organic supplies – Ginseng shampoo and conditioner for frequent hair washing (that’s me alright) and volumising fluid for curly hair.
Candles & Home goodies:
-
- Millefiori candles in “Pomegranate” and “Spa & Massage Thai”
-
- MUJI candles in “Berry Tart”, “Cinnamon and Mandarin” and “Lemongrass and Yuzu”
-
- …I stocked up.
-
- MUJI bathroom containers for all my cosmetics and cleansing products, as well as an exfoliating cloth.
Bottega Verde and MUJI are quite affordable and LUSH was on sale, while Millefiori and Laura Mercier are personal favourites and worth spending money on. I’m usually a product-hopper but I’m on my third bottle of Almond & Coconut Shower Cream now. I’ve been using Philosophy‘s “Christmas Cookie” while I didn’t have time to run out and get more LM, which has an almost sinfully delicious smell.
You can order Bottega Verde, MUJI, LUSH and Millefiori products on their respective websites; the first three have international pages so you can order from pretty much anywhere on Earth.
Thanks for the great product ideas. I am addicted to bath and beauty products and always on the look out for new options. I love the candles in this piece and will be ordering on line since I don’t have a trip to Rome in the near future … unfortunately!
