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.

My nomination for the (reasonably-priced) gift most likely to please a perfumista: Tauer Wowzilla Wowilla Body Oil. "Cozy, rich, gourmand: Treat yourself with this luxuriously scented body oil. 93% cold pressed Jojoba oil and 7% of a comfortable rich vanilla perfume. Notes are: Vanilla from la Réunion, Sandalwood, labdanum and patchouli." CHF 25 (right now, about USD $25) with free shipping at Tauer, where you might also want to take a gander at the 300 ml candles in dark blue glass, available in Rose Delight or L'Air du Désert Marocain for CHF 69 each.

Aftelier has several new natural skincare items to tempt you this holiday. Shown is Geranium Cleansing Oil ("...a nourishing oil cleanser that can be rinsed off with warm water. Wild-harvested geranium essential oil was the best choice for the scent, with its gorgeous fresh, green, rosy aroma, and known for enhancing skin repair, reducing inflammation, superior toning, and anti-bacterial properties"; 33 ml for $35), and you might also consider Lavender Face Elixir ("Our lightweight face elixir is immediately absorbed softening and conditioning your skin. Use on your clean face before bed, and drift off to sleep in a light veil of fragrance that promotes relaxation. When you wake up, your skin will feel wonderfully nourished and revitalized."; 20 ml for $70). The one I really want was already in the mix and I've possibly included in a daily lemming already: Jasmine Face Elixir ("This delightful jasmine aroma is uplifting and relaxing. Drifting off to sleep inhaling this gorgeous aroma makes you feel as if all is right in the world"; 20 ml for $70).

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.

From Hamburg-based grooming brand Brooklyn Soap Company, The Woods, developed by perfumer Mark Buxton: "Sensual times two. The »Beginning« Eau de Parfum and the matching Body Wash are your trusted daily companions. First lather, then spray. And the woody, fresh, and almost hypnotic notes of tangerine, nutmeg, myrrh, amber and musk slowly envelope [sic] your body. Due to its natural, plant-based composition, the »Beginning« Body Wash is also suitable for sensitive skin." Shown in a trio gift set with bar soap, body wash and Eau de Parfum, €85.
