The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 27 February 2021 2 Comments

From Olivina Men, Blackberry Chai lip balm: "Staying hydrated is a great way to protect your lips. But sometimes conditions call for a little extra help. Olivina Men's certified organic lip balms lock in moisture and shield lips from harsh environmental elements with olive oil and cocoa butter." On markdown for $3.50 at The King of Styling. (Also available in Ginger Citrus, Juniper Mint and Bourbon Vanilla.)

From Baudelaire, Calendula Honey Soap: "This honey soap is made with a vegetable base and is infused with calendula and comfrey for hardworking hands. Now made in the sovereign nation of Vermont. Triple-milled for a luxurious, long-lasting bar with a rich, creamy lather." $6 at Smallflower, where they have the same bar in Goat's Milk Honey, Pure Honey and Royal Jelly Honey.

A potential cheap thrill? Formula 10.0.6 Smooth Me Over Moisturizing Body Wash Grapefruit + Coconut: "Formula 10.0.6 Smooth Me Over Moisturizing Body Wash is a gentle, every day, bubbly wash that won’t strip your skin of its natural moisture. Sweet grapefruit nourishes, while tropical coconut provides natural hydration." $6.99 for 300 ml at Target.

Garnier introduced their organic skincare line, Garnier Bio, in 2019, but it still isn't officially distributed in the US and I have no idea if there are plans. If it ever gets here, my two top wishes: the Orange Blossom Micellar Water (£6.99 at Super Drug) and the Organic Lemongrass Gel Wash ($8 at Look Fantastic), both of which you can find in Canada, or really nearly anywhere but here. There are also Melissa and Cornflower Micellar Waters, a Thyme Toner, Lavandin Eye Cream, Lemongrass moisturizer, Argan Mist, and more.

From Wild Yonder Botanicals, Rose is a Rose Face Glow Mask. "2 face scrubs inside each packet! A multi-sensory botanical self care experience connecting you with the plant kingdom. First experience aromatic exfoliation then allow to rest for a infusion treatment." $10 each, and while you're at it you might as well pick up a Yoga Joe, available in various poses for $5 each, or in beginner or advanced pose collections, $25 for 9. At Beautyhabit (and — chocolate alert! — they also have Dolfin gift boxes in stock).
