Sol de Janeiro Rosa Charmosa Dewy Body Cream and Cheirosa 91 Perfume Mist

The Rosa Charmosa Dewy Body Cream ($24- $48; sephora.com) and Cheirosa 91 Perfume Mist ($26- $39; sephora.com) are both new additions to Sol de Janeiro's gorgeous fragrance and body care line. Cheriosa 91 is a sweet, juicy floral with notes of passionfruit, pink pepper​ Rio pink rose, magnolia, pistachio cream​, honey caramel, amber, sandalwood and sugar crystals. The opening is light, fresh and juicy without being too cloying or sweet. The rose, pink pepper, passionfruit and magnolia stand out to me, while the dry down is creamy and soft with the honey, caramel and amber being the most prominent. Its sweet, not overly so, but also fresh and floral - perfect for spring. Like most of Sol de Janeiro's fragrance mists, this one too has great longevity, especially when layered over the body creams.

The Rosa Charmosa Dewy Cream is a super moisturizing, dewy body cream with the same fragrance notes as the Cheirosa 91 Mist. The texture is luxuriously soft and smooth with a dewy finish. The fragrance lingers on for the whole day and leaves skin feeling super comfortable and moist. It is also enriched with crystal peptide, brazilian yakon essence and rosewater to help retain moisture and support skin structure. The body cream also doubles up as a great smelling hand cream. I love both the fragrances layered, but on most days I prefer them by themselves. Overall, if you love fruity florals that aren't too sweet, yet want something with a soft and creamy dry down, this duo is something I'd recommend.

Moroccanoil Argan Butter Lip Balm in Berry Pomegranate

The Argan Butter Lip Balm in Berry Pomegranate ($22; sephora.com) is a new addition to the Moroccanoil body care line. It comes in three colors/flavous and is enrihed with argan butter, peptides, argan oil and hyaluronic acid for a super hydrating feel. I love the texture - it is slick. but not too slippery, yet very thin and non sticky. Berry Pomegranate is my favorite of the three since it is dark enough to show up on my lips as a light wash of pink. The pigmentation isn't too sheer and the balm layers beautifully over lipsticks and feels amazing on its own without feeling very heavy or greasy.

The first thing I noticed is how super smooth and butter-like it goes on even with the squeeze tube packaging and applicator. I believe it is the formula and ingredients that help the texture glide - almost like a gel based lip oil. It is fragranced, but not overly so and I like the juicy-berry flavor a lot. This has been on rotation for me the past few weeks and is perfect to hydrate with a pop of color, especially this time of the year. If you like quick and easy, minimal lip products that are ultra hydrating and formulated with great ingredients, this is definitely something I'd recommend.

TOCCA Laila Eau de Parfum Review, Photos

Laila Eau de Parfum ($92; ulta.com) is Tocca's newest addition to their fabulous fragrance lineup. Laila is described as a sweet, sensual and decadent vanilla-amber concoction. The notes include Green Mandarin, Bergamot, Desert Rain Accord, Jasmine Nectar, Lily of the Valley, Cardamom Blossom, Toasted Vanilla, White Woods and Golden Amber. The opening is very fresh and earthy with the right mix of bergamot, green mandarin and a hint of the cardamom blossom. I also get a whiff of the lily, although it is more subtle such as to not make it too heady. The dry down brings out the gorgeous toasted vanilla, white woods and golden amber making it creamy and comforting without being too sweet. The longevity was average on this one. Although an EDP, both this and the solid fragrance lasted about 5-6 hours before fading away slowly. Overall, if you like fresh and crisp, but not too sweet, scents with a creamy dry down, Laila is worth checking out!
