The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 14 February 2020 10 Comments

Ah, back to banana: "Step out of your clothes, hop into the shower and lather up with this creamy, dreamy body wash that smells just like fresh-baked banana bread. Then let the ingredients go to work: bananas strengthen skin and oats soothe, leaving you feeling smooth, soft and strong. There's really no better way to spend a Sunday than with Nana Shower Gel." $11 - $57 at Lush.

Please, someone tell me if this ever goes on mark down: "A body wash with the Haute Couture fragrance of Armani/ Privé Bois d'Encens. Start your fragrance ritual in the shower, bathe in luxury with a body wash inspired by the secrets of the Armani hotel. The Bois d'Encens luxury eau de parfum showcases Somalian Incense, an olfactory reflection of the hours Giorgio Armani spent with his grandmother in Italian churches." $50 for 200 ml at Saks.

A cheaper alternative to yesterday's lemming: Mongo Kiss Banana Lip Balm from Eco Lips. "Made from organic Mongongo oil from Africa and organic Fair Trade Certified cocoa butter, this ultra hydrating balm provides essential nutrients for your lips. Mongongo oil is high in polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are known to remain on the skin longer than saturated fatty acids (like coconut oil) or monounsaturated oils (like jojoba oil), so you know your lips are protected all day. With hints of caramel, cinnamon and dark rum, Banana Mongo Kiss is a blissfully tropical treat for your lips." $2.79.

Paradise does not come cheap. Jamaica ("Inspired by a trip to Jamaica, this balm smells just like bananas. It has a smooth gel texture and is infused with hydrating Shea Butter and Olive Oil.") and Mykonos ("This 'Mykonos' lip balm smells like watermelon, and it’s infused with Shea Butter and Olive Oil to keep your pout moisturized.") lip balms from Le Paradis are $24 for 12 ml at Net-A-Porter.

Love Sun Body's 100% natural mineral sunscreen has mixed reviews on Amazon, but the "lightly scented" version with tiare and vanilla attracted my attention anyway. (The 100 ml travel size is $23, so it isn't cheap either.) If you've tried it, or if you have an absolute favorite sunscreen that also smells fantastic, do comment!
