Dior · The Balm/Le Baume
Dior recently launched The Balm/Le Baume aka: one of the cutest releases to date. Billed as a multi-purpose product, this not only adds moisture and a level of protection to skin, but elevates this everyday task to a whole new luxury level. When things come together like that, it gets me every single time.
CHANEL · N° 5 The Gold Body Oil & Coco Mademoiselle Pearly Body Gel, Holiday 2022
Launched simultaneously with the Holiday Collection (reviewed here), CHANEL pays homage to their iconic N° 5 as well as Coco Mademoiselle fragrances with these two gorgeous body care products that will leave your skin pampered, and certainly party-ready. That said, you can still do the pampering, even if you’re like me and prefer to party hibernate at home.
Summer beauty: Sol de Janeiro Bom Dia Bright Cream & more cult faves
The release of Bum Bum Cream catapulted Sol de Janeiro into mainstream consciousness and it’s pretty obvious why: one sniff of this decadent body cream, and you’re instantly transported to a sizzling Brazilian beach. Following up on that success, the brand has also just launched Bom Dia Bright Cream, and I’m more than happy to continue the vibe + bettering my skin while doing so. “Tall and tan and young and lovely, the girl from Ipanema goes walking, and when she passes, each one she passes goes, Ahhhhhhhhhh” — aka: what I hear in my head after playing with all these products ??
Faux-Glow Fabulousness with St. Tropez
Summer-bronzed skin has long been synomous with vibrant health, but as we all know by now, getting it the natural way comes with a steep price. Thankfully, there are safer options available and many hail from St. Tropez, one of the original brands to package that believable faux glow. Their longevity in the marketplace has another advantage: they’ve not only perfected that perfect golden radiance, but have improved it to the point where anyone will be hard pressed to tell it apart from the real deal. I’m in.
CHANEL · Nº5 L’Eau All-Over Spray & On Hand Cream
I’ve always been that girl who has wanted so badly to wear CHANEL’s original Nº5 perfume, but have never been able to — although I’m still holding out hope for a future point where the two of us will see eye to eye. That’s why when Nº5 L’Eau launched in 2016, my prayers were answered: here was a Nº5 version that fitted me perfectly. For Summer 2018, Olivier Polge, the ‘nose’ behind this iteration, has created a fun new way to sport this fresh scent, launching the All-Over Spray and matching Hand On Cream … and I’m betting that both are going to be spot-on perfect for the season.
