Beauty Exclusive: Fragrance, Candle & Cream by Issey Miyake

Issey Miyake ‘L’Eau d’Issey’ Anniversary Set (Nordstrom Exclusive)

L’Eau d’Issey offers an invigorating sensation of pure, sparkling floral notes with musky undertones.

From that moment I saw Christina’s post on Nordstrom’s Beauty Exclusives, I knew I had to check it out. So you know, Nordstrom’s having their Anniversary Sale. On her list are Bare Escentuals Beauty On the Go, MAC’s Novel Twist Cool Eyes and PINK Clarisonic Skin Care Brush. So, I thought I’d list some of my own.

First up is this anniversary set from Issey Miyake. Yes. I’m talking luxurious time of relaxation. Aromatherapy is a big deal. Creating a relaxing atmosphere helps a whole lot, you see.

This elegant gift set includes three items exclusive to the set, Eau de Parfum (1.6 oz.), a Miniature Scented Candle and a Moisturizing Body Cream (1 oz.).

How will this work? Simply set aside a time for a long luxurious bath, light up the candle while in the bath and relax. Preferably, this should be done before sleeping so when you put on the moisturising body cream after the bath, you can curl up on the bed, read a book then go have a restful sleep. You can surround yourself with the memory of this relaxing time by using the perfume the following day for work. Simply because scents can trigger memories and that will help.

Of course, I’m aware that we can’t do this everyday. I reckon once a week is alright, granted we do find the time. But I do recommend making time for it. You do deserve some elegant pampering every now and then.
