Two New Skincare Favorites From Biossance I've Been Loving

Two new skincare favorites on rotation that I’ve been loving from Biossance. The Firm and Lift Hydrating Dual Serum with Hyaluronic Acid + Squalane ($68; sephora.com) is a super lightweight, non sticky, non greasy serum that I like to use as part of my nighttime skincare routine. It's very moisturizing, absorbs quickly and leaves a sheer finish. The formula is great for combination-dry skin types and features Squalane derived from Sugarcane along with Hyaluronic acid. This is also a great formula to use under makeup. 

The Omega Repair Deep Hydration Moisturizer with Ceramides and Hyaluronic Acid + Squalane ($60; sephora.com) is a fantastic daytime moisturizer for dry, aging skin. The formula is vegan, fragrance free and formulated with hyaluronic acid, plant based squalane and ceramides. I love it by itself as a moisturizer and underneath makeup, but the formula also pairs well with the Hydrating Dual Serum for an extra layer of hydration. It's a great moisturizer for anyone with normal-dry skin wanting a hydration boost without the heaviness and greasiness of richer formulas.

Viktor&Rolf Flowerbomb Extreme Eau de Parfum

Flowerbomb Extreme Eau de Parfum ($39 - $150; sephora.com) is a new launch from Viktor&Rolf, a warm fruity floral with notes of raspberry, rose absolute, vanilla bean, orange blossom and jasmine. The opening is a perfect mix of sweet and floral, without it being too heady or cloyingly sweet. The rose and raspberry stand out to me, but it does lean more sweet, compared to the original flowerbomb and isn’t heavy on the patchouli, like the original. I love the original flowerbomb as well and it is one of my go to fragrances for about anytime of the year, while this is more of a spring-summer pick for me. The drydown is soft and very slightly floral from the orange blossom and vanilla. While I can’t smell too much of the jasmine, it still is floral enough to keep it fresh, yet sophisticated much like the other Flowerbomb variants. I also think the longevity of this is great - I could get a whiff of the scent almost until the end of the day and the opaque pink bottle looks fabulous too. Definitely one of my top fragrance picks to checkout during the ongoing Sephora sale!

Aesop Aurner Eau de Parfum

Aurner Eau de Parfum ($200; shop.nordstrom.com) is a new launch from Aesop for spring, described as a warm, aromatic, woody floral for men and women. The fragrance notes incline cardamom, pink pepper, citrus, magnolia leaf, geranium, chamomile, sandalwood and cedar. The opening is rather floral and slightly zesty with just a hint of the cardamom. The Magnolia and Geranium are very prominent and settle down to a really nice, not so heady floral that is fresh and soft. The dry down brings out the woody notes with the sandalwood and cedar softening the floral notes. It is a unique woody floral that isn’t too intense, yet has great longevity. While described as unisex, it does lean more towards being a feminine scent. Overall, a pleasant woody floral for any time of the year that isn't too strong or intense, yet stays quite fresh through the dry down.
