I made a serious mistake when I opened the recently-launched Organic Butter Cream by Sabon. The instant I inhaled the divine scent, I ooohed and aaahed about this product a little too loudly, piquing the interest of my pre-schooler.
From that night on, he insisted that the cream be used on his skin each night after bath-time. Oh no! That meant I zoomed through this amazing body cream twice as fast…
So what smells so divine? My contact at Sabon informed me that it's apricot fragrance and plant life from the Swiss Alps. Let me tell you… it's an incredible and unique combination! My amateur nose picked up a dairy essence… like the actual scent of fresh whipped cream!
Of course, all of my fussing was justified. This buttery concoction is extremely rich and moisturizes the skin well. The formula is based on organic shea butter, and contains a high concentration of essential organic ingredients from the Swiss Alps (edelweiss, hysopus, imperatoria and marrubium). Organic oils contribute to softening the skin. Sabon may have released this new line in the Spring, but this skin-treat is a must have for the harsher months of Fall and Winter.
The packaging is luxe, too. The butter cream is contained in a heavy (totally reusable) glass jar. What a terrific hostess gift this treat would make!
Sabon's Organic Butter Cream retails for $39.


If I had to select one singular product that embodies the spirit of MAC's new Naked Honey collection, it would have to be Naked Honey Skin Salve. With the consistency of honey itself, this buttery-rich concoction not only softens the skin on contact, but leaves it utterly glistening. Ideal for use this summer– your legs will look utterly flawless! Don't stop there, this salve can be used anywhere!




I've never been a fan of Twizzlers. Even during the fat-free diet craze of the early 90s, I still never picked the red licorice at the concessions counter in a movie theater.
