The daily lemming

Posted by on 6 Comments

A budget(-ish) option for shimmer, if you don't want to shell out for the Maison Francis Kurkdjian or Chanel models: L'Occitane's Shea Green Chestnut Shimmering Body Oil / Huile Scintillante Karité Chestnut. "This nourishing formula is enriched with shea oil to help soften skin, while leaving behind a delicate, iridescent finish. Our limited edition Green Chestnut holiday scent lightly perfumes skin with the fresh, invigorating aroma of an autumn forest. Celebrate with festive notes of fresh magnolia and chestnut delight, wrapped in warm vanilla, cedarwood and fir balsam." $48 for 100 ml at L'Occitane USA, where you'll also find tons of other products in the Green Chestnut fragrance (hand cream, shower cream, lip balm, bath bomb, scrub, body cream, etc).

Another option for your holiday shimmer: Chanel's limited edition No. 5 The Gold Body Oil / Huile d'Or. (I know they did a similar product in 2017, and possibly there have been others as well.) "The bottle houses golden-colored fragments that appear weightlessly suspended. The nourishing formula imparts a soft, satiny veil and subtle sheen for a radiant result. Inspired by the silky blend of May rose and grasse jasmine featured in the original fragrance, the body oil brings the floral-aldehydic bouquet of the timeless scent to life with voluptuous flair." $100 for 250 ml at Nordstrom.

From Maison Francis Kurkdjian, Baccarat Rouge 540 Sparkling Body Oil: "The Baccarat Rouge 540 Sparkling Body Oil is a sensual conclusion to a beauty ritual, beautifying the skin with a floral, amber, and woody aura. This shimmering 24K gold scented oil is inspired by the secret of Rouge à l'or, an alchemy obtained by blending crystal and gold powder, leaving the skin delicately sparkled and scented." Available for pre-order at Saks, $195 (ouch) for 200 ml.
