I need to find a facial creme by the name of lotus.

January 23, 2006 12:10 PM

I need to find a specific facial crème or lotion. I don't know the brand, all I know is that the particular line I am looking for includes a product (scent?) named "bamboo" and another called "lotus." "Lotus" is what I am looking for. It is quite expensive. And it smells good. That's all I have to go on.

I have searched, but both lotus and bamboo seem to be fairly common ingredients in beauty products, which makes if difficult.

try searching sephora.com, strawberrynet.com, or nordstrom's website.

Good idea, thanks. I had not thought of that (though I should have). Unfortunately, I did not find it at those sites.

C'mon, you've got to know more than that. Can you answer any of these questions?
- Does it come in a tube or a jar?
- Did you encounter it recently, 2 years ago, or 15 years ago?
- Did you see it in a store, or did you see it in someone's bathroom? If the latter, could it have been acquired in either Europe or Asia, say on a trip or vacation? What country are you in any way?
- Can you be more specific about quite expensive? Are we talking $50/oz or $500/oz?

oh! and do you know if it is a cream for men or for women? that might be able to narrow it down.

Also, could it have been a kind of all-natural/organic/whatever type of cream -- the kind you'd likely find at a place like Whole Foods, for example, but not at a department store?

Kenzoki?

-I don't know. I only saw a sample, in a foil packet.

-It was encountered recently. Last month.

-I saw it in North America. Montreal, to be specific. There is a small chance it was not from there but from Europe.

-I don't know exactly, all I know is that someone called it "expensive." But I would guess it is much closer to $50 than $500 an ounce.

-It is for women.

Oh, Iconomy, that looks promising! I will investigate. Thank you.

You can order it at Sephora if that's the one.

By far the best part of this question is the orthography you used, crème. I suppose a facial cream is just the right application for an acute accent.
