From NAPOLEON PERDIS’ NP Set line comes a Bath & Body collection. Yup, he’s not just makeup anymore! From bath salts to body scrubs to lotion to a body mist, each contains nourishing essential oils and is free of parabens, SLS’ and dyes. And each product comes in three scent collections: Tahitian Vanilla, Moroccan Citrus and Jaipur Jasmine. He was inspired by exotic locals his job has brought him too over the years. Lucky duck!

I’m especially liking the Jaipur Jasmine Body Polish. Mmm jasmine! It uses walnut shell powder to do the exfoliating so don’t use it on your face. And if I was asked to describe the actual polish, it’s like if like a light or diet exfoliator in that the actually scrubbing particles are not super concentrated in the pearly beige concoction.

And the prices are right on – Bath Salts ($14.99/15.9oz), Body Lotion ($14.99/16.9oz), Body Scrub ($13.99/6.76oz), Body Mist ($11.99/8.5oz), Body Wash ($14.99/16.9oz) all @ target.com.

Another day, another fragrance. While I’m still feeling the glow of yesterday’s product, I must. Move. Onward. And this is a fun one on this post-Valentine’s Day. Yup, it’s another scent and this time it’s the fun cherry scent but don’t think this is kid’s stuff. It’s the latest from the L’OCCITANE line so you know is sophisticated. When I was little, a few of the neighborhood kids and I would walk up to the corner store where we would splurge on the latest sugary candy. No matter what it was, we were true to one thing. Sharon always got whatever it was in lime, Kim got the grape and I always got the cherry. We would then walk home discussing why each of us loved all things lime, grape or cherry (we didn’t associate with anyone who loved orange. Ewww!).

So catching up to the present day, when I saw the Cherry Blossom collection from L’Occitane, the pleasant flashback of picking out cherry candy at the corner store came rushing back. Then I learned there are three collections of cherry products in the line - the (classic) Cherry Blossom, limited edition Cherry and the limited edition Wild Cherry ones. See here for what notes are in each. Here are my picks that really satisfy my adult craving:

Cherry Blossom Eau de Toilette ($32/1.7oz), Wild Cherry Solid Perfume Stick ($14/.17oz), Cherry Blossom Soap ($4/1.7oz), Cherry Blossom Petal-Soft Body Cream ($34/8.8oz). All @ loccitane.com.

More and more people want to know exactly what’s in the food they eat and the products they use. I can’t help but wonder what exactly is in some of the products I use and will repeat usage harm me in any way. No guessing when it comes to SOY SPACASSO. They are an, you guessed it, all soy line. Soy is known for its antioxidant benefits and when combines with other nurturing ingredients like Shea butter, it feeds the skin like no other.  When I first heard of the line, I had to know the reason behind the name. To Spacasso is to ingest everything healthy – to what you eat to what you wear to the music you permit your ears to hear. It’s an all-encompassing way of living. Which leads me to their skin products and I was simply delighted at the quality! Their Pear Berry scent is really invigorating and the moisturizers come in three forms: 

Silky Smooth Soy Body Spray ($6/4oz), Silky Soy Body Lotion ($11/9oz), and the really unique Hand Lotion Bars ($4/4-pack). Choose from a list of 12 scents.
They also have a first of its kind on their hands – a soy-based fragrance, Pelliccio’s Fire ($40/.8oz). It’s made up of soy and essential oils. That’s it! So it lasts on the skin. Light and fresh! All @ lordsflagcrewessentials.com
