Scented body lotion for spring 2022

Scented body location for spring 2022 from top left: honey vanilla body butter / sugar coconut body melt (love this one!) / Tahitian Manoi body butter (my current favorite!) / sugar coconut body butter / creme brulee body cream (another favorite of mine!) / sugar lemon body lotion /

Do you love fragrances as much as I do? Of course you do! One of the fun ways to wear fragrance, without using perfume, if through scented body lotion. In addition to fun scents, body lotion of great for keeping our skin hydrated and also to help slow down the aging process. Love that!

As you can tell from the scents I have chosen to feature, I love a good gourmand. When temperatures heat up, I gravitate towards coconut and citrus scents. So, while a good vanilla is my go-to during the cooler months, I switch things up and reach for coconut or citrus scents in warmer temperatures. That being said, I am currently addicted to Colleen Rothschild’s Tahitian Manoi. It’s slightly tropical, slightly sweet, and very smooth. I am not really sure how to describe it except to say-LOVE! So, if you are looking for a new scent, try Tahitian Manoi!

These are also my go-to brands when it comes to body cream. Laura Mercier, Lalicious, Colleen Rothschild, and Fresh offer non-greasy, non-drying, very, moisturizing body care products. If you are looking for a great cream, but a different scent than what I am featuring, these are the best brands for body care, in my opinion.

Spring is all about renewal, which means it is time to renew our signature scent! Rose based florals are hotter than hot right now in the world of fragrance. This means we all need to gravitate towards a rose based floral scent; unless of course, you detest rose. If that is the case, Chanel N.5 might be the fragrance for you since the rose is undetectable.

Other than Chanel N.5 edp, the other five fragrances I am showcasing in this post are beautiful florals scents which each have their own personality. Do you like gourmand scents? Are you more into fruity fragrances? Which type of fragrance floats your boat? I have to say, I love a fabulous gourmand or a fruity floral. Those are my two favorites. Of course, I never shy away from a timeless scent from Chanel. I plan on purchasing something new this season, preferably a sweet floral. I already own a fruity floral and a floral gourmand. Love!

The Chanel holidays 2021 beauty collection is here! This holiday season, Chanel is celebrating their iconic fragrance, Chanel No. 5. The entire holiday beauty collection is centered around Chanel No. 5 by offering classic hues, and Chanel No. 5 themed packaging. Love it!

This year, the Chanel nail polish holidays 2021 collection consists of one, iconic red nail polish which offers pinkish and cherry undertones. This is a classic red which is in theme with the timeless beauty collection Chanel has given us for the holidays 2021 season. It’s beautiful, classic, and iconic. Love!

There are several colors of lipstick for the holiday season, and additional make-up options, in Chanel’s holidays 2021 beauty collection. I invested in one lipstick, the fabulous bottle of edp, and this classic nail polish.

Without further ado, here is what I purchased from the Chanel holidays 2021 beauty collection, Chanel No. 5.

Chanel nail polish holidays 2021 | Chanel Rouge Intemporel

How pretty is Chanel Rouge Intemporel nail polish for the holiday 2021 season? I love it! This cherry hue is classic and feminine. It’s a great investment red to wear now, and all year long. If you like a little sparkle for the holidays, check out this top coat from Dior.

I tested out Chanel Rouge Intemporel nail polish with one base coat, and two coats of color. As with all Chanel’s nail polishes, the Chanel nail polish holidays 2021 collection is chip resistant, and it goes on streak free. This is a cream polish with a shiny finish. Love!

Chanel lipstick holidays 2021 | Chanel Rouge Allure Rouge Brulant

Normally I gravitate towards sheer lipsticks, but this cream lipstick from Chanel for the holiday season was too pretty to pass up. The Chanel Rouge Allure lipstick for the holiday 2021 season includes five colors. I picked up Chanel Rouge Brulant which is a pinkish red hue. I love how it compliments the Chanel nail polish holidays 2021 hue. Chanel Rouge Brulant offers more pink than Chanel Rouge Intemporel nail polish, and I feel like it’s the right mix of pink and red for a festive holiday season.

As usual, the Chanel Rouge Allure lipstick collection offers moisture, and does not dry out the lips. It goes on smoothly, without clumping or running. This is the holy grail of cream lipstick.

Chanel No. 5 EDP limited edition holidays 2021

For the holiday 2021 season, Chanel has created a beauty collection themed around the iconic Chanel No. 5 fragrance collection. As part of the collection, there are EDT and EDP offerings. I chose the EDP as I prefer a slightly stronger, and longer lasting, fragrance experience.

The Chanel No 5 holiday bottle comes in a bottle shaped box with an elastic emblem at the top. This is a beautiful way to store the bottle, especially if you store your fragrances in an area with light.

Pro tip: always store fragrances in a dark, dry area to preserve them, and allow them, to last for years. This means keeping them out of the bathroom. I keep mine in a hall closet away from the bathrooms.

Since this collection is limited edition, and celebrates the iconic Chanel No. 5 fragrance collection, it will make a great holiday gift for the beauty and Chanel fan on your list! I guess I gave this collection to myself for Christmas. haha
