The (almost) daily lemming

Posted by on Leave a Comment

Another option for a solid shampoo: L'Occitane's new bars. Three options: Purifying Freshness (blue, for normal to oily hair, with peppermint, thyme, grapefruit, mint, lavender and cedar); Gentle and Balance (lavender, with lemon, orange, rosemary, chamomile and lavender); and Intensive Repair (peach, for brittle and damaged hair, with angelica, ylang ylang, sweet orange, lavender and geranium). They do not seem to be in the US (yet?), in the UK they are £10 each for 60g (so half the price of the Yves Rocher products).

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.

None of Your Beeswax lip balm from Lush (it's been around for years, but is not always available in the US): "Get ready to pucker up to this lip balm's ultra-soothing, ultra-moisturizing, and ultra-deliciousness. We packed this one with fair trade shea butter and extra virgin coconut oil, so there's no need for the traditional beeswax, making it totally vegan. Murumuru and cupuaçu butters lock in moisture, while Japan wax provides the protection, and fresh lemon, vanilla and mandarin make for sweet, lemon curd kisses." 12g for $13.

In case you are needing more hand cream and you're feeling flush: Byredo's latest round of limited editions. "Hand Cream Collector's Edition. Its 30ml aliminium tube is fondly reminiscent of an artist’s paint and convenient to carry around. A meltingly rich salve in three iconic fragrances – Mojave Ghost, Rose Of No Man’s Land and Bal D’Afrique – are contained within pop coloured, polka dotted tubes, in an elevated expression of gleeful irreverence." $43 at Byredo.
