Look up the definition of “luxury” in the dictionary, and we’re fairly certain
you’ll find a picture of a Diptyque candle. Seriously, there isn’t a candle
chicer or more luxurious on the planet. And when it comes to the Diptyque Violette
Candle? Our senses almost can’t take the amazingness.
Ready to start your gift giving
brainstorming sessions but don’t know where to start? For the beauty junkie, a
sample kit is always the best way to go, and one of our new favorites is Kate
Somerville’s Discovery Kit.
Get your gift recipient (or yourself!) one step closer to radiant skin with this sampling of Kate’s best sellers. A clear plastic zipper bag (great for traveling, btw) comes stocked with the Gentle Daily Wash, Quench Hydrating Face Serum, Total Vitamin Antioxidant Serum, Nourish Daily Moisturizer, ExfoliKate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment, and two other sample creams.
We loved the foaming gel face wash because it removed all our makeup, but didn’t leave our skin feeling stripped. The 60 mL size is still going strong after daily use for three weeks, as you only need a small amount to get a good lather. The 15 mL jar of the ExfoliKate is marvelous for sloughing away dead skin cells (thank you, dry winter air). It’s an enzyme exfoliator with a slight roughness to it, that tingles just a bit, but leaves your skin ultra smooth. Our favorite gem of the bunch would definitely have to be the Nourish Daily Moisturizer. It’s ultra light-weight, super fast absorbing, and perfect during the pm for our oily skin.
Normally, this kit runs for $90, but from now until November 30, Kate Somerville is offering 30 percent off with coupon code KSFF2010! Grab this goodie bag for yourself or a lucky friend/relative for just $60! katesomerville.com
Now that cooler temperatures are upon us, it’s imperative that we utilize body scrubs to the fullest. So when we came across Crabtree & Evelyn Citron, Honey & Coriander Scrub Cleanser, we were super excited — because our hands become ravaged at the very sight of 45-degree weather.
