From the Kew Gardens collection at English Soap Company, hand cream in Narcissus Lime : "Nourish hard-working hands with this Kew Gardens Narcissus Lime Hand Cream, a sumptuous cream with ingredients to keep your skin feeling soft and pampered. [...] the fragrance leads with top notes of lime, bergamot and pear. Floral notes from jasmine, orange blossom, tuberose and narcissus form the heart of the scent and come together on a base of vanilla and sandalwood." £8.29 at The English Soap Company.
It’s rare that I even think about buying a new perfume these days — I have enough to last me and then some — but shower gels are another matter entirely. For one thing, even if I don’t end up loving them, and even if I have too many in my shower already, they will get used up before they spoil. Lush is a favorite, and they launch new products at a steady pace, so it’s not unusual for me to want, say, 4 or 5 or 6 of them at once. My trips to the mall are few and far between, though, and Lush products come and go relatively quickly, which explains why in a fit of panic I recently ordered 5 products unsniffed, lest they sell out before I get my hands on them.
Posh Chocolate Shower Gel was an obvious lemming, since I adore everything about the Posh Chocolate Body Wash except the packaging…
A lemming for fans of Dolce & Gabbana Devotion? The Rich Body Cream: "Its indulgent texture provides deep, long-lasting hydration for up to 24 hours. The scent opens with the enticing and gourmand notes of candied lemons. In the heart, the freshness of orange blossoms explodes. The warm and sensual touch of Madagascar vanilla transports the senses to a sweet and sophisticated destination. The frosted finish glass and the golden lid, embellished with the Sacred Heart, make this body cream a true symbol of elegance and care." 180 ml for $97 (huh) at Nordstrom.
From Moroccanoil, Body Lotion in Bergamote Fraîche: "An ultra-light body moisturizer formulated with aloe leaf extract and a nourishing blend of argan, tsubaki, and evening primrose oils." Additional fragrance notes include mint. $28 for 360 ml at Blue Mercury.
From Korres, a Shower Gel (250 ml) and Body Milk (200 ml) set in Pomegranate Grove: "Cleanse, moisturize and leave your skin feeling soft and smooth with this essential bath and body set. Korres' Renewing Body Cleanser and Body Smoothing Milk are poised to help your skin look more beautiful and offer a delightful scent that will set the tone for your day." $35 at HSN, where you'll find the same set in Guava, White Blossom, Forest Cedar, Honey Thyme, Peach Blossom and Grapefruit Sunrise.
