I’m assuming that the intended use of this “Island Getaway Kit” is actually on an Island Getaway. (My deduction skills are ridiculously good. And it includes smaller versions of great Korres products like Basil Lemon Shower Gel and Grape Seed Body Scrub.) Sadly, the closest thing I’m coming to a summer vacation […]

Don’t let the bare-bones packaging fool you. This Maui Babe Browning Lotion is the real deal. It’s not a stain or self-tanner, but an all-natural aloe-infused “tan accelerator.” Sounds scary? I was a skeptic too, but after spending a week in Maui two summers ago, I was a firm believer. The lotion was all I […]

Grapefruit tea is super-popular in the UK and France right now, carried at high-end stores like Fortnam and Mason in London and Fachoun. I’m not planning on a European vacation anytime soon, so I’ll settle for this little bottle of Demeter perfume. The tart blend of citrus and soothing notes of tea are perfect for […]

When London-born designer Tiffany Lerman decided to expand her cosmetic bag empire to include bubble bath, she wanted to create products that “became a part of ones bathroom decoration.” Thus, the all-natural Tillia Bath & Body line was born (and so were a slew of followers). The Juniper Grapefruit Body Wash is one of the […]

Chock full of natural ingredients, including (duh) passion fruit oil, this body scrub smells delish. Blend up a daiquiri, grab a book and use it in the tub. Then close your eyes and pretend you’re at a tropical spa. If you have a good imagination (and the daiquiri is made correctly) this […]

I’m always game for pretty products that look just as good on the shelf as they do when I finally break them open. That’s why I’m stocking up on these handmade bars from Sprout Home. The thick blocks of color come in cucumber, gardenia, verbena and mint and are wrapped in vintage wallpaper.

You’ve got your vanilla. You’ve got your rose. Your mango-peach-papaya numbers are multiplying like crazy and that lavender-infused one with bergamot, tuberose, opoponax and a hint of tonka bean hasn’t been opened in ages, but no collection is complete without Junk Food’s Rootbeer Float Nourishing Body Lotion. It’s simple, it works and it smells […]

I know I’m not the only one who thinks makeup kits are suspect. It’s a sick deal until you realize out of thirty-seven glosses, there’s only one that doesn’t make you look like a clown. I have high hopes for this Goldie kit, however, considering I’ve liked every gloss I’ve tried thus far. […]

This little wonder houses two roll-on fragrances in one vial, and although the names sort of freak me out (Algae and Mud) the scents are lovely (bergamot/lemongrass and sandalwood/vanilla musk, respectively). Perfect to stash in your purse for an after crowded-summer-subway refresher.
