From Bastide, the "Gift of Pampered Hands", in their Ambre Soir fragrance: "We obsess over the cleansing and hydration of our facial skincare, but we rarely give that love and attention to our hardworking, creative hands. Our oil-based, natural handwash makes your hands softer with each wash, and our matching lotion is made with lavender honey and olive squalane to deeply hydrate. With a matching handsome bar of triple-milled soap and take-anywhere hand cream, this complete set is the ultimate treat." $100.

The daily lemming
I want almost everything from San Francisco "sustainable artisan bath and body products" brand Etta + Billie (I assumed the brand was named for the singers, but no, it's the owner's two grandmothers). Shown is the Grapefruit Cardamom Lotion: "Uplifting exotic spicy blend of bright fresh pink grapefruit + herbaceous sultry cardamom. Hydrating + nourishing body lotion for all skin types. Formulated with natural skin reviving ingredients like antioxidant rich organic cocoa butter, soothing organic aloe, softening coconut oil + vitamin rich sunflower oil." $29 for 227g.

We featured the bar soap earlier this month, and now Moroccanoil has released a limited edition Body Soufflé Trio: "Indulge your senses with a lightweight whip of argan oil and shea butter. Each moisturizer in this hydrating, three-piece collection improves skin’s elasticity and strengthens the skin barrier, without a greasy feel." $48 for three 45 ml tubs in Originale, Fleur D'Oranger and Fleur De Rose, at Sephora.
