Discovering products to help beat the heat while still looking darling is no easy task when the monstrous selection can be quite over- whelming. Life should never be this compli-cated. Save your worries for what to wear on those steamy nights out or when frolicking in the sun. Here are a few pared-down picks to guarantee you’re looking and smelling your finest.
Straight from the fields of Provence onto the shelves of sister team Trisha Bermudez and Sheila Romero’s Beyond Bamboo boutique comes a small brand, Lothantique. Fabulously French and delightful to use, these bath products are enriched with cotton and linseed extracts to gently nourish and moisturize the skin. Subtly scented and with 10 scents to choose from, the Verbena bath and shower gel is my fave as it cleans well without overdrying and smells crisp and cheerful. Perfect for an immediate escape from city stress and grime.
On a manhunt? Delicately seduce your target with the latest from Giorgio Armani. Composed of orange and green notes, heightened with jasmine and layered with lavender honey, Armani Code is high on mystery while still maintaining an air of soft feminism. Packaged in a sexy sapphire blue bottle with an embroidered oriental flower, it evokes the spirit of a captivating woman with utter confidence and glam sophistication. Fresh, flowery and smelling slightly oriental, it can only help you clench that conquest.
A staple for luminous bronzing products, the Guerlain giant has devised a bronzing powder mist for this summer. The innovative Terracotta spray is brilliant for the lazy or for those on the go, delivering an even, flawless, natural suntanned look in seconds. If you prefer brush application, the tan booster works wonders over all bronzing products ever created. This all-in-one compact prepares, activates and prolongs your tan. Whichever you fancy will guarantee a sun-kissed look without the effects of sun damage. Hallelujah!
Face it. The days of stuffy fashion, bland food and bad teeth are quickly dying out. The UK’s been bursting with a renaissance since Alexander McQueen, Matthew Williamson, Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsey have jumped on the scene. To channel your favorite Brit star, men can now spritz themselves with Burberry London for Men. This isn't your boring old geezer fragrance that you'd find a grandpa wearing. Think instead of hot young English gents, like Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Hugh Grant and Rupert Everett who most of us fancy a snog with. Replace those notions of Brit men's fashion being dowdy with the onset of fashion-forward trends, cologne definitely included. Dowsing your man in this represents all the cool aspects of London’s vibrance and elegance, taking us to that capital city in a whiff. Distinct and so Euro, this concoction of bergamot, lavender, cinnamon and pepper smells all man to me. Heart notes feature mimosa, wine and leather scents while the woody base of oak and tobacco complete this potent scent. So bloody perfect for a young lad.
