The daily lemming

Posted by on Leave a Comment

I don't use bath bombs, and I'm not going to start, but I love looking at them. Lush dropped a bunch of new ones this week (although some of what I'm showing above is old). Tops on my list: Bom Perignon (above left, citrus), Lucky Cat (center, jasmine absolute, neroli & ylang ylang), Blackberry (top right, berry & olibanum), Rose Bombshell Egg (bottom left) and Hi Ho Silver (bottom right, citrus & olibanum). Also worth a peek, Fairy Jasmine, which sounds like Silky Underwear (not shown, jasmine, vetiver & ylang ylang).

A potential lemming for fans of Chanel No. 5 L'Eau? The In-Shower Gel ("A shower gel that gently cleanses skin and invigorates the senses with the fresh, vibrant scent...A floral bouquet of Rose, Jasmine and Ylang-Ylang combines with the crisp notes of Lemon, Mandarin and Orange for an unprecedented sense of liveliness.") and the Fresh Lotion ("This fast-absorbing body lotion nourishes, softens and delicately scents skin with the fresh, sophisticated fragrance of N°5 L’EAU.") are $45 each for 100 ml.

Is it time to summer-up your hand cream? A couple budget options from Bath & Body Works: Mango Mai Tai ("A tropical cocktail of mango nectar, sun-kissed grapefruit & sugarcane") and Waikiki Beach Coconut ("A warm, islandy blend of beach coconut, pink passionflower, saltwater breeze, fresh bamboo & sun-bleached woods"), $4 each.

I am sorry / not sorry that I've become attached to Marvis Karakum toothpaste, and I'll be extra sorry when they stop making it (I think it's a limited edition). I also really liked Buly's Opiat Dentaire Mint Coriander Cucumber, but the Marvis is expensive enough as it is. My next lemming is Botot Anis Citrus Réglisse, which at $13.50 for 75 ml is a little less than the Marvis. It is shown above center, along with cinnamon clove (left) and eucalyptus (right). At Smallflower.
