It’s time for summer skin care! In addition to my go-to neck cream, face cream, and eye cream, I like to add sunscreen to my summer skin care routine. Of course, sunscreen is something to think about all year long; especially in sunny places like California! That being said, I use heavier sunscreen in the summer months due to all my outdoor activities.

Sunscreen and facial creams are important, but it is equally important to care for your body skin too! I love this hand cream from Colleen Rothschild. It isn’t greasy and works like a charm. I also love her body wash, body scrub, and body butter. These are holy grail body skin care products. Love them!

Lancome Idole L’Intense edp review

Do you love warm, woody florals? I do! I was so excited when I learned Lancome had released a new woody floral. This beautiful fragrance, Lancome Idole L’Intense edp, is a warm, woody floral with a smooth base. It has a classic vibe, and seasonless scent. Love that!

I am excited about Lancome Idole L’Intense edp since it is a woody floral we can all wear now, during the cold winter months. It’s a warm fragrance, which is ideal on a cool day. Due to the jasmine and rose top notes, this woody floral is a versatile fragrance which will enable it to also be worn during moderate and warm temperatures. I would wear it up to about 85 degrees. After 85 degrees, I prefer to move into nautical, and fruity scents which only work on hot days. Love!

Top notes: Sensual Isparta Rose, Fresh Jasmine

Middle notes: Warm Musks

Base notes: Cedar, Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla

After about one minute, Lancome Idole L’Intense edp settles into a warm, musky floral with a slight vanilla and wood scent. As the day progresses, it cycles through a warm, musky fragrance experience which is smooth and rich. I love the lingering cedar and vanilla laced into the musk at the end of the day. The edp formula is long lasting, so it will not need to be reapplied during the day. You can spray it on at 7am and still enjoy it at 10pm.

If you love a good woody floral, this is your new scent! It will also make a fabulous gift. Lancome offers several gift box choices which are perfect for any holiday during the year. I highly recommend trying this scent. I rate it five out of five stars! Love!

Thanks for stopping by!

‘Tis the season for a warm and sweet gourmand! I was thrilled when Lancome sent me their warm and sweet fragrance, Lancome La Vie est Belle edp. This cozy, floral gourmand fragrance is perfect for cooler temperatures, and the limited edition bottle is fabulous eye candy. Love!

For the holiday 2020 season, Lancome designed a sparkling bottle for their classic La Vie est Belle eau de parfum. The bottle has a sparkling little ribbon on its’ neck, and an ombre, silver glitter finish starting at the base, and thinning towards the middle. It’s festive, pretty, and wintery. This will be a beautiful bottle to keep on the counter, as well as give as a holiday gift to the fragrance fan on your list!

If you are a gourmand fan like me, you will love the heart notes of delicate Iris, tasty spun sugar, and warm vanilla. When you first spray Lancome La Vie est Belle edp on your wrist, the Iris scent will instantly capture you. Roughly five minutes into settling on your skin, a slightly spicy, and very warm scent takes over which balances out the Iris. You can detect the vanilla and sugar wrapped around the soft Iris scent. It’s pretty, warm, and ideal for cooler temperatures. This is definitely a warm and comforting scent for the late fall, winter, and early spring months. Loving it!

Lancome’s holiday 2020 beauty collection is selling fast. If you love gourmands, or have a gourmand fan on your holiday list, I highly recommend shopping early, and snapping up a bottle of this limited edition of Lancome’s La Vie est Belle edp now.
