The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 2 January 2019 13 Comments

I have a bit of a weakness for scented hand creams. I buy too many, and then I tend to get more as presents. At the moment, sitting at my desk, there are a total of 11 hand creams within easy reach (yes, I'm sorry I counted). So I won't be buying these cute little tubes from Sephora, and unless you are fresh out of hand cream, you don't need the Almond Hand Balm either (above left; "Pamper your hands with Sephora Collection hand balms. The smooth formulas nourish and take care of your hands every day, without leaving your skin feeling oily or sticky."; also available in Rose and Coconut; $5 for 30 ml). I have no need for Honey Hand Polish (above right; "With gentle and exfoliating sugar particles, the honey hand scrub blurs imperfections and smooths the skin."; $5 for 30 ml) and I am dubious as to whether anybody does, but what do I know.

Ready for summer? The Bobbi Brown Beach Babe Collection might help: "Make every day a beach day with skin-softening Beach Body Scrub, Body Lotion and Shower Gel, plus a full-size Beach Fragrance." $75 at Bergdorf Goodman.

Body Salt Scrub in Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess

Is it summer yet? My most-used Bronze Goddess product is actually not the spray fragrance, but the fantastic (and highly-scented) Whipped Body Creme, introduced in 2014. This year, they've added a Body Salt Scrub ("This luxurious scrub with mineral-rich salt crystals gently smooths and exfoliates for sensual, luminous skin. Decadent oils help soften and nourish with the seductive, sun-kissed Bronze Goddess Eau Fraîche fragrance.") $55. I am tempted. If anyone has tried it already, do comment!

(PSA: The Lush Wash Behind Your Ears Shower Gel mentioned in a previous daily lemming is now on the Lush USA website.)

Today's want, possibly because I'm just plain hungry, is Fresh Cocoa Body Exfoliant: "Cocoa Body Exfoliant is a euphoric experience for the skin and the senses. The cocoa bean has been revered for centuries, as cocoa butter is known for its nourishing properties, and cocoa extract is said to have a pleasure-inducing effect. The seductive scent, luxurious, velvety texture, and skin-softening results will satisfy any craving for a beautiful body." $45, which is more than I will spend on a scrub. There is also a Cocoa Exfoliating Body Soap, $16.50. Do comment if you've tried either!
