Soooo... I want to share some things, not photography related, that I really love. Stuff that makes me giddy, wows me, and just makes me HAPPY!!! Stuff that I heart. Hence, a new series called I <3 this! Hope you enjoy!This week... I HEART Laura Mercier's Creme Brulee line, specifically the hand creme and eau de toilette.
Until about 3 years ago, I had never been much of a perfume or scented things type of gal. I actually learned about this fragrance line, when one of my veryyyyy first clients ever gave it to me as a gift at their engagement session. Beyond being TOTALLY FLOORED by her generosity, I was also totally intrigued by the gift. She told me it was her favorite scent ever and was amazing. And history, for me, was made.Why do I love this sooo much?First, the SMELL! It smells like...well creme brulee! Vanilla, caramel, burnt sugar...mmm mmm mmm good! When I spray this on myself, I get hungry for dessert! But it also is very relaxing and soothing! It's also not a sickeningly sweet smell like some vanilla based scents. And it doesn't smell chemically or too manufactured like a lot of perfumes, which I hate. I like that the scent is grounded in the familiar, and grounded in food. Cause y'all know I love food!!!The hand creme is very luxurious. It goes on thick but it isn't greasy and all. It moisturizes and soothes the hands! Veryyyyy good! I would love to also try the body souffle lotion, and the honey bath treatment. I have no doubts they are equally heavenly!!To date this is one of my fave beauty products! You can buy it for yourself at Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, or at the Laura Mercier site.
