Red Velvet Cake




I used to love all of Philosphy's combination shampoo/shower gels in foodie scents like Cinnamon Buns and Pumpkin Pie.
True, their advertising angle and the copywriting are annoying - "calorie-free sweet treat," "indulge without guilt" blah blah blah, yeah yeah, we know we're fat and we should be starving ourselves and if we're over 25 we need anti-aging goos... shut up and pass the Botox syringe. We've read it all before, we've heard it all before; it's insulting to the intelligence. Jeez.
But then I got into Lush handmade cosmetics and forgot about Philosophy.



Their limited-edition Red Velvet Cake might bring me back! I haven't even smelled it. I've got a weakness for anything Valentine's Day-ishly colored and themed, though. I've never had red velvet cake, actually. A co worker of mine baked one for another co worker's birthday a few months ago, and it looked amazing, but I could not partake, because the cream cheese frosting was covered with chopped nuts of some kind, and I am deathly allergic to tree nuts.
They're sold out of Red Velvet Cake shower gel at Sephora, but it's available at Nordstrom.
Also, there's a whole real red velvet cake for sale (they'll ship it!) here. I pulled that cake photo off their site. Beautiful, isn't it?

Mmm. I so want some of that. Really, and I will have to ask Brandon's mother to make us a Red Velvet Cake. I haven't mastered it yet. By the way, you can get it without nuts! : )
