L'Artisan Parfumeur's new bath range has finally made it to the US. At the top of my wish list, La Chasse Aux Papillons Body Lotion (300 ml for $36) and Timbuktu Shower Gel (300 ml for $32).
The daily lemming
Pretty glycerine soaps in summer colors from Wary Meyers: "The glycerine soaps are made in very small batches in the Wary Meyers studio in Portland Maine, by John and Linda." Shown in Pink Champagne and Beachy Coconut, $14 each at Luckyscent.
The daily lemming
Kyo Miori's Koisuru Tamahada hand cream comes in 12 floral designs, one for each month. Shown is May, Wisteria. If the Barneys description is correct, all 12 share the same cherry blossom scent: "Gently wrap your skin with the faint fragrance of cherry blossoms. A hand cream so soft leaving you with silky smooth skin, without the stickiness. Adored by beauty experts, each charmingly decorated tin represents a quintessential element of the cultural essence of Japan." $20 for 42 ml.
The daily lemming
For anyone who is still wishing for a tub of that Rodin lip balm but doesn't want to spend so much, here's a cheaper alternative: Korres Jasmine Lip Butter. "This rich butter leaves lips deeply moisturized, supple, and kissably soft. Korres Lip Butters are formulated with natural oils and extracts to soothe and condition lips. Shea butter and rice wax provide lasting hydration and softness. This shiny, juicy pop of color comes in an array of "flavors" and is ideal for dry lips." (I have not smelled or tested it, but I can vouch for the Korres Jasmine Shower Gel.) $12 for 6g at Sephora.
