David Yurman Exotic Essence

So I’ve already done two posts about David Yurman beauty products because in all honesty, they are fantastic.  I became obsessed with the body wash a few months back and while I was in New York recently, I smelled my friend April Franzino (from Fitness magazine) and had an “OMG, WHAT is that perfume?!” moment. 

April told me that it was David Yurman’s Exotic Essence fragrance, new to his beauty line.  I had to have it.  According to the site, Exotic Essence is inspired by the sensual gemstone citrine and has top notes of sparking mandarin, mid notes of exotic woods (similar to my perfume fave, Narsisco Rodriguez for Her) and dry notes of amber, peach skin and vanilla absolute.  Seriously, if you like oriental/woodsy scents, this is a must-have.

July Beauty Favorites

So as of late, I’ve been seriously loving these beauty products.  I play favorites, I do, but every other month or so I go through a “omg, I LOOOOVE this” phase and if they’re good enough, they might even make it into the permanant rotation.  I’ll let you guys know how it goes. 😉

Clockwise:

LUSH DaddyO -I’ve been on the hunt for a really good violet shampoo, which are known for keeping blonde shades from turning brassy.  DaddyO is made to help those with blonde OR grey hair to get hair shiny and stop the brass from coming.  Miracle worker.

Urban Decay Pocket Rocket Lip Gloss – I’ve been in love with these since they came out a year or two ago but only recently became obsessed.  With a flick of the wrist, the dudes on top get undressed AND the tube even has phermones…you just need to rub it to release them into the air.  Seriously.

David Yurman Luxurious Bath & Shower Gel – I’ve blogged about this product before and I loved it then…but now I’m officially obsessed.  It’s definitely pricey at $50 but it lasts forever and makes me feel fancy.

COVERGIRL LashBlast Fusion Mascara – All I have to say is VOLUME AND LENGTH.  I’ve been a big fan of all of COVERGIRL’s mascaras but this one really takes the cake.  It’s the perfect blend and has the best qualities from each of their mascaras.

Gift Idea: David Yurman Luxurious Bath and Shower Gel (for your label-obsessed cousin)

So I got the chance to try out David Yurman’s Luxurious Bath and Shower Gel that just came out last month and admittedly, I love it.  I’ve never been a huge fan of David Yurman jewelry mainly due to the fact that I think it’s overpriced and over-rated but hey, one a man does shower gel well, they he’s ok in my book.  I immediately thought this would be the perfect gift for my label-obsessed cousin since I obviously can’t afford to buy her anything from the jewelry collection.  The Bath and Shower Gel diffuses the rich notes of exotic woods and patchouli with the fluidity of peony and waterlily…mmmmm.  Pure luxury.
