Food for thought.

Cosmetics used to be about glamour. Lipsticks smelled like roses.

Now a lot is about food. Is it because we are less likely to indulge in actual food if our lip gloss smells, tastes and looks like red velvet cake batter?

In a brief scan of my posts, I realized a good deal of the items have a great deal of yum-factor.

yum-factor n. 1. tasty smelling without being artificial 2. products which induce your spouse to want to eat you up 3. sniffability 4. usage: This hand cream has awesome yum-factor.

In this kit from Philosophy, which comes with a recipe box (recipes included) you get three mouth-watering shampoo/shower gel/bath bubbles in red velvet cake, strawberry short cake, and sweet creamy frosting.

Why bake when you can bathe?
