One more (citrus) cheap thrill from Target, while we're at it: eos Shea Better Shave Cream in Pink Citrus. "Now with even more shea! Our cheerful and fresh Pink Citrus shave cream smells like fresh verbena blossom blended with warm cedar topped with lemon zest. Get your softest, smoothest (and closest) shave ever. Our rich, non-foaming shave cream contains instantly moisturizing shea oil + lasting protection shea butter for incredible 24-hr hydration and lasting skin comfort." $3.39 for 207 ml.
A budget alternative to yesterday: Pink Lemonade Foaming Hand Soap, a limited edition from the latest Method + Lisa Congdon collection. "With bright notes of fresh squeezed lemons + perfectly ripe peaches, this refreshing summery fragrance feels like floating on the lake in an inner tube, popsicle in hand." $3.49 for 300 ml at Target.
From Hurraw (Jessica has reviewed a couple of their balms), a summer limited edition lip balm: Huckleberry. "A seasonal must have in Montana; we finally made 'Huck' a classic. It’s only available for the summer season so pick it up fast! Purple sweet potato anthocyanins give 'Huck' a glorious plant based hue but only a clear gloss is left on the lips!" $4 at Hurraw Balm. (They also have an impressive array of other flavors, from Coffee Bean and Earl Grey to Baobab Banana and Papaya Pineapple.)
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.
