The (almost) daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 14 December 2019 2 Comments

From Lush, a Cinnamon Orange bath oil bar: "A cozy way to kick off your holidays, this spicy little number looks great hanging from the tree and works even better floating in the tub. Just break off as much as you’d like or hold it under the tap to release a well-deserved cinnamon and clove leaf relaxation session. As benzoin resinoid warms and eases your muscles, fair trade organic cocoa butter and fair trade shea butter soften your skin." $8.95.

A classic: Youth Dew Bath Oil. "In 1953, Estee Lauder introduced Youth-Dew, a scented bath oil that doubled as a perfume, and the world of fragrance was forever changed. Until then, women relied on the men in their lives to give them perfume as a special gift. But Youth-Dew was created for women to buy for themselves...and they did. Even today, its captivating, sexy romance ensures that this true classic remains a favorite. Pour out a few drops as you draw your bath for a relaxing treat, or simply wear it as a fragrance." $45 for 60 ml at Saks.

Posted by Robin on 28 November 2017 25 Comments

We’re starting off this year’s holiday gift series with scented body products of all kinds, and as always, do add any of your own recommendations in the comments! There are seven more posts to come.

My own favorite, just for the spiffy packaging: Cartier La Panthére Powder De Parfum Étincelante. “A shimmering La Panthére Perfume Powder leaving on the skin a velvety veil. A product offering a new sensual gesture, to be layered with the Eau de Parfum and the Shimmering Eau de Parfum for a perfect ritual.” $75 for 100g at Neiman Marcus…

The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 10 April 2017 9 Comments

My shower is sadly lacking in Le Labo, what's with that? If the shower fairy happens by, do have her drop off some shower gel (shown left and right, Fleur d'Oranger 27 and Bergamote 22, $52 for 237 ml) plus some Body Lotion (Ylang 49, $68 for 237 ml) and perhaps some Bath Oil (Lys 41, $68 for 120 ml). A bar soap (not shown, but I'll take the Neroli 36, $48 for 226g) would not go unloved either. All can be found at good old Saks Fifth Avenue.
