A budget alternative to yesterday: Pink Lemonade Foaming Hand Soap, a limited edition from the latest Method + Lisa Congdon collection. "With bright notes of fresh squeezed lemons + perfectly ripe peaches, this refreshing summery fragrance feels like floating on the lake in an inner tube, popsicle in hand." $3.49 for 300 ml at Target.
From Hurraw (Jessica has reviewed a couple of their balms), a summer limited edition lip balm: Huckleberry. "A seasonal must have in Montana; we finally made 'Huck' a classic. It’s only available for the summer season so pick it up fast! Purple sweet potato anthocyanins give 'Huck' a glorious plant based hue but only a clear gloss is left on the lips!" $4 at Hurraw Balm. (They also have an impressive array of other flavors, from Coffee Bean and Earl Grey to Baobab Banana and Papaya Pineapple.)
From Alba Botanica, Hawaiian Deep Moisturizing body oil in Kukui Nut: "Find sweet satisfaction with this nutrient-rich, super-smoothing, fast-absorbing body oil. Made with a blend of kukui nut, sweet almond, coconut, flaxseed and sunflower oils, this body oil works its magic to nourish, hydrate and protect skin from moisture loss. Skin is doused in silky perfection." Reviews on the smell range from yum to sticky sweet, so perhaps give it a sniff first? About $7 for 250 ml at Vitacost.
Bigarade Jasmin is a member of Fragonard‘s Garden Collection of perfumes but its character reminded me of another “garden” — Hermès garden range of fragrances.
On first spray, Bigarade Jasmin provides a scented blast of grapefruit, tangy orange peel and indolic jasmine aromas. The scent is brisk but summery…
From Olivina Men, Blackberry Chai lip balm: "Staying hydrated is a great way to protect your lips. But sometimes conditions call for a little extra help. Olivina Men's certified organic lip balms lock in moisture and shield lips from harsh environmental elements with olive oil and cocoa butter." On markdown for $3.50 at The King of Styling. (Also available in Ginger Citrus, Juniper Mint and Bourbon Vanilla.)
