From Neom's Scent-to-Destress range, the Intensive Skin Treatment Candle (basically, you light it, melt the top layer, let it cool and use it as a body oil): "Say hello to our newly blended hero, our Intensive Skin Treatment Candle, now with ADDED baobab and jojoba oil. The magic four (rapeseed oil, soybean oil, sweet almond oil, cocoa seed butter) has been expertly re-whipped up by master crafters in the UK to be EVEN MORE intensely nourishing and is now the magic six! We've added baobab from Africa (containing vitamin C, A, D, E and F and essential fatty acids), and jojoba oil (a soothing wonder for dry skin)....100% natural fragrances and blended with seriously nourishing oils of English lavender, jasmine & Brazilian rosewood, plus 21 other essential oils"; $47 for 140g, and also available in a Scent-to-Sleep version.

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!

When the folks at Poolside.FM's Vacation brand (remember?) launched their SPF 30 Chardonnay Oil last summer, there was a waiting list. Now you can have it on demand. "Vacation Chardonnay Oil SPF 30 is a lightweight, broad spectrum sunscreen oil made from Chardonnay Grape seed oil that delivers an enviable, subtle shine while hydrating and protecting the skin." (The scent, dubbed Grand Cru ‘86, is apparently not exactly the same as that of the other Vacation sunscreen products. Reviews vary.) $22 for 100 ml at Ulta.

I have no makeup that needs fixing, but this pretty bottle caught my eye anyway: Clarins Fix Make-up in Rose Myrtle. "Fall in love with this limited edition Fix' Make Up, inspired by the rose myrtle flower! A light and refreshing mist that sets makeup and gives longer-lasting hold. Enriched with aloe vera and allantoin, it instantly moisturises and soothes the skin. Its delicate rose myrtle-inspired scent provides a continuous sense of well-being. A simple spray for long-lasting makeup!" €28 at Clarins in Ireland (it does not appear to be in the US yet, but here you can still buy last year's limited edition Fix Make-up Sakura, $32).
