The times over the years that I've exclaimed to the sky that I want Blake Lively's hair. But the truth here is-- no amount of product will give me her genetics. I don't like the name Blake Brown either it also feels dated somehow

Same on the hair envy! Blake Brown sounds like an in-house line at Pier 1 or Anthropologie maybe

I just got back into fragrance after a long time-out. I recently sampled Dear Polly and am obsessed, which is not a great thing since it’s so $$$. And you?

Oooooh noted! Casablanca by La Botica is a complete departure but I adore it rn

Spot-on breakdown of Blake Lively’s hair care brand. Thank you for revealing the insane marketing spin of it all. I lol’d at the description of the packaging as “global village coffeehouse.” Also, great point about the fragrance - I buy unscented beauty products for the very reason you described (so they don’t invade my perfume choice).

Thank you for reading! It’s a tough sell to go so scented, I think, when we’ve all invested in our fragrance libraries. What’s your perfume (or perfumes) of choice?
