The daily lemming

Posted by on 4 Comments

A lemming for fans of the dearly departed Rodin Olio Lusso line (with props to whomever mentioned this in the comments the other day): a limited edition Jo Malone + Rodin series, which apparently launched last summer. At the US Jo Malone site, you can currently find the Jasmine & Neroli Luxury Body Oil ("Envelop skin with this sumptuous body oil. Massage in to enjoy an uplifting, sensorial experience. Enriched with evening primrose and sweet almond oils that nurture, it smooths on to leave skin feeling velvety soft. Infused with an exquisite scent to inspire the senses and help cultivate feelings of calm"; $136 for 109 ml), plus Jasmine & Neroli Luxury Face Oil ($96 for 13 ml), Jasmine & Neroli Luxury Oil Gel Cleanser ($70 for 180 ml), Jasmine & Neroli Luxury Hand & Body Cream ($88 for 100 ml) and Luxury Face Cream (not shown; $95 for 50 ml). Yes, it's still spendy!

Another limited edition body oil from Rodin that I won't buy but wouldn't (at all) mind owning: the Goddess Aurora Luxury Body Oil. "To start, immerse yourself in the skin-silkening nourishment and shining, vibrant scent of Italian Bergamot and Mimosa found in our Luxury Body Oil in Bergamot & Mimosa. This deliciously fragrant oil softens and smooths skin with a lightweight touch. Massage a bit into hands and apply to moist, clean skin just after a shower or bath. Perfectly refreshing for summer, or anytime skin craves moisture. Leaves skin glistening." $90 for 120 ml.

It would be nice to have one of these in my purse. Not $80 nice, mind you, but nice. If they mark them down to 75% off, I might buy one. Rodin's new Face Oil Sticks, available in Jasmine & Neroli ("If you're a fan of Rodin's 'Luxury Face Oil Jasmine & Neroli', then you're going to love this version - it's sized to fit in a tote and has a smooth, balm-like texture that melts beautifully into your skin. Formulated with a blend of rich antioxidants and 11 nourishing oils, it deeply hydrates for a radiant, fresh-looking finish. Glide it onto the tops of cheekbones as a subtle highlighter or rub onto dry cuticles."), Geranium & Orange Blossom, or Lavender. 11g each at Net-A-Porter.

Another temptation from Rodin: the Limited Edition Mermaid Collection Olio Lusso Luxury Body Oil. "One remarkable formula for nourishing, silkening, moisturizing. Transports you to far-off shores with a scent that marries ceremonial South India Sambac with the clean oceanic tang of French Sea Kelp. New RODIN oil awakens your inner mermaid. Brings skin to dewy radiance for any season. [...] With a shake, this tricolor oil turns seafoam green. Massage it into your hands, apply to moist, clean skin just after a shower or bath." $90 for 120 ml.
