‘Tis the season for scents! When warm, summer weather arrives, I love to wear scented body lotion which is subtle, and offers just enough fragrance without being overwhelming. My favorite scents in the summer include coconut, vanilla, and Colleen Rothschild’s Tahitian Monoi; it is absolutely fabulous!

There are two main reasons scented body cream is far superior to just wearing perfume during the warm summer months. The subtle scent is perfect when perspiration happens, and it will happen, plus, body cream helps restore dry skin from summer sun and fun. That’s two birds with one stone! Love that!

My two favorite brands are Colleen Rothschild, and Laura Mercier, but the other brands I am showing you are good too. Colleen Rothschild and Laura Mercier are the ones I reach for the most often. They have beautiful scents plus offer the perfect amount of moisture for my skin. I love being outdoors during the summer months, so a good body cream is essential.

Shop my favorite scented body cream around the web.

scented body lotion for spring

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.

Laura Mercier Stickgloss Rouge a Levres gloss review

If you have been following along, you may already know I am a sucker for sheer lipsticks. I am not a huge fan of thick, cream lipsticks, or sticky lipglosses. When I noticed Laura Mercier Stickgloss Rouge a Levres, I was intrigued! The packaging labeled it as a “gloss,” yet it appeared to be a lipstick. Hmmmm. . . this looked like a fun investigation!

Since spring lipstick is either golden, beige, or vampy, I decided to try out Black Orchid in Laura Mercier’s Stickgloss Rouge a Levres. Why not go vampy when trying out a gloss? Black Orchid is vampy indeed! It is a dark purple color which is edgy yet seasonally appropriate. Love that!

I was not quite sure what to expect in a stickgloss. Would it be sticky like a lipgloss, or would it be smooth like a sheer lipstick? When I applied my new Laura Mercier Stickgloss Rouge a Levres in Black Orchid, I was pleasantly pleased! It applies just like a sheer lipstick. Three cheers for no stickiness! Whoo-hoo!

The composition of sheer lipstick is lightweight and natural; which is exactly what this lipstick feels like. There isn’t anything sticky, slimy, or annoying about it. Love that!

The part of Laura Mercier’s Stickgloss which is glossy, is how it looks. There is more color, or pigment, then with a sheer lipstick. In fact, the color also has some shine; which is what gives off that glossy effect. It really is perfection in a tube.

I love how Black Orchid looks. It gives off that perfectly on-trend, dark, vampy lipstick look without being too dark and costumy. After all, I am a Mother of three, I cannot walk around in stage makeup. Can you imagine? Yikes!

Laura Mercier’s Stickgloss Rouge a Levres is a new favorite of mine. I am looking forward to trying out new colors as the seasons progress. You can find it in many color choices online here.
