Santa also rears his head in your bath this season Get your head outta the gutter! It’s in the form of LUSH’s Satsumo Santa ($5.95/5.8oz @ lush.com). This bath bomb highlights the zesty orange with mandarin oil, bergamot oil and orange flower absolute. Very refreshing.
LUSH puts our great holiday items, so I’ll be peppering this guide with a bath bomb here or soap there, so be sure to check back.
My first pick from their line of holiday goodies that won’t break the bank is their Golden Wonder ($6.95.7.8oz @ lush.com) bath bomb. This one smells of fruity citrus of orange and lime and contains cognac oils.

Here we are at the end of our on-going Spring Color Picks feature. So have you added any of the suggestions like Coral, Turquoise, Tuscany, Violet or Tomato Puree to your makeup routine? Here are some more recs for Tomato and Turq. What’s great about turquoise is that sometimes it’s on the green side and sometimes more on the blue side. The two nail polishes here really depict that.

If
you follow any aspect of fashion, you’ve heard that the Pantone Color of the
Year for 2010 is Turquoise. Just hearing that news recently made me want to
redo my living room or at least add some turquoise accents. Did I? No but I it
did make me think of beauty products and how I could reflect the trend in my
everyday makeup look with a splash of liquid on my nails or powder on my lids. “Combining
the serene qualities of blue and the invigorating aspects of green, Turquoise
inspires thoughts of soothing, tropical waters and a comforting escape from the
everyday troubles of the world, while at the same time restoring our sense of
wellbeing.”
Other
colors of the Spring Season? Tomato Purée, Fusion Coral, Violet and Tuscany, to
name a few. So what does that mean to you? I’ll be highlighting some products
that showcase the colors in an on-going feature called Spring Color
Picks. First up? Turquoise and Tomato Purée. I’m pairing the soothing
blue-green and the tangy classic red in one feature as I think they balance
each other out nicely.
So you wanna see the product picks?
What chick on your list doesn’t love bath products? And because the season falls during the coldest time of the year, feel confident gifting any of the below.
The calendar may read spring on Friday but it’s still chilly enough outside to run a nice hot bath, right? So put the right stuff into it and this time it’s BEAU BAIN Bath Bombs. Choose from scents like Cucumber Melon, White Tea and Ginger, Rainbow Sherbet or Juicy Peach. And the ingredients inside each are listed on their site and I didn’t see anything bad. Take the Peach one for example. The ingredients are: Sodium bicarbonate, citric acid, dendritic salt, vitamin E, grape seed oil, sweet almond oil, fractionated coconut oil, macadamia nut oil, avocado oil, olive oil, shea butter, magnesium sulfate, witch hazel distillate, and proprietary blend of fragrances. Now read the list of scents again. Don’t they get your nose in the mood for the upcoming season? $8/8oz @ beaubain.com.
Lo, how I love thee L’OCCiTANE. Their creative scents are some of the best I’ve come across since I started doing this 8 years ago. And their latest is one of my fave fragrances, honey! The Honey & Lemon Softening Oil ($14/3.4oz @ loccitane.com) is part of their Honey & Lemon Collection that came out around Valentine’s Day. Use this one as a body oil (the best way to moisturize), massage oil or a few drops in the bath.

JELLY PONG PONG’s new Egg Confetti ($20 @ jellypongpong.com) really bring up some fond memories. Both my Grandmother and my Mother used to blow out the contents of an egg through a pin hole at one end and then paint a woman’s face on it, add some hair, earrings … I still wish I had some of those but they were always so delicate. Everyone’s memory is coloring the eggs for Easter and then hiding them or finding them. Each of the six Egg Confetti’s in the box are hand painted with fun designs in Italy (where all their products are made) and inside are moisturizers and sweet smelling scent fine tub sugars. Just crack the egg open like you would any other egg, and pour the contents into running water.
Choose from Speckled Eggs (Apple & Rhubarb scents) or Candy Eggs (Blackcurrant & Orange scents). Have fun in the bath again!
