The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 9 December 2020 3 Comments

From Miller Harris, Etui Noir Soap: "A masculine celebration of inky black leather with the warm intensity of the tactile powder of iris to create an exciting sense of contrast. Evocative of leather’s many forms; well-worn jackets, patent boots and suede gloves, the Etui Noir Soap is rich and uncompromising. Etui Noir Soap can also be used as a shaving soap, thanks to added charcoal. The natural Etui Noir Soap combines British rapeseed oil with coconut oil, organic shea butter, glycerin and vitamin E to leave the skin cleansed and moisturised." 200g for $25 at Miller Harris.

The Mango Bar Soap is a luscious and juicy soap with notes of mango to give you contagious energy. The Cotton Flower Bar Soap contains notes of cotton flower that wraps you in a veil of silky softness, and it is also dermatologically tested. The Monoï Bar Soap is inspired by the Monoï and hot sand—anytime of the year, the most unforgettable summers come rushing back." Four 100g bars, $14.

"Dolores Barefield had no idea who left the mysterious gift on her doorstep nor how it held such magical powers, only that its effects were undeniable. To infer she had fallen on hard times would be an understatement, but things were turning around in ways she hadn’t dreamed imaginable. It was springtime in Portland, Oregon and the city was bursting back to life after the wettest winter on record. Life felt possible again. But with newfound strength comes newfound desires, and a perilous search for understanding will lead her to a bizarre world she never knew existed." Bouquet of Miracles bar soap from Imaginary Authors, with rose and red currant, $12 at Luckyscent.
