(So then I said, "You don't even control oil in the T-zone! Hard labor for you!")
(Originally titled "Typo of the Day," but a little research changed that.)
Skimming the Benefit website for more beautifully-packaged, expensive shit to put on my face, I decided to read the FAQ for their new skincare line. Yes, I'm the nerd who reads FAQs, even when I know that they are not really frequently asked questions. Anyway, I came across this (bolding mine):
What’s the ideal order or routine of the skincare collection? What do I start with?
You can mix & match the collection with your current regime but one example of using the products together is: remove it makeup remover, foamingly clean facial wash, refined finish facial polish, either total moisture facial cream or triple performing facial emulsion, it’s potent! eye cream, ultra radiance facial re-hydrating mist (although mist can be used any time throughout the day).
Regime! I love it! I am now picturing my soap & exfoliator as tiny dictators in aviator sunglasses and sailor caps, ruling the sink-top with an iron dispenser pump. The tubes tell me that "regime" is actually an accepted synonym of "regimen," but is that going to stop me from imagining that my Sephora samples are fomenting revolution in my make-up drawer right now? No, it is not.
That sounds like sooo much work. My whole skin-care regime is 'eh, my face gets wet in the shower and sometimes shampoo drips on it.'
ReplyDeleteHeh, a make-up revolution is funny though.
That is brilliant! How "regime" could possibly be a synonym for "regimen" I don't exactly follow, but I will take the dictionary's word for it.
ReplyDeleteNo-one Yeah, that's pretty much me, except I wear moisturizer with SPF so I can avoid putting sun tan lotion on my face. I don't even really understand what "ultra radiance facial re-hydrating mist" *is.*
ReplyDeleteMelanie- It has something to do with it being French? IDK. Language is wacky.
