Send a bottle to their table
•••
My favorite gesture for when you can’t be there in person but want to contribute to the fun - if you know a group is going out to dinner, find out who made the reservation, and call ahead to purchase a bottle of something fun to be sent to the table. Perfect for a birthday, Father’s Day, Mother’s Day (ahem). Feels like a really special and unexpected surprise, even though it’s so obvious! If the group doesn’t drink, a fabulous dessert works as well!

Shimmer Balms
$28
•••
I love all the olio e Osso balms, but the bronze-y one is so fun for spring and summer. The shimmery flecks kind of melt into your skin - it ends up imparting this warm, sheer, highlighty glow. The texture may take some getting used to — it is very tacky. BUT because of that it absolutely stays put and lasts literally all day, unlike most other balms or bronzers/blushes.

Alabaster Généraux d’Empire
$62
•••
I’ll let the description speak for itself: “By far the most elegant and delicate way to perfume a room, the alabaster is made of three elements: a porcelain box, a stone and a perfume essence bottle. The “Généraux d’Empire” alabaster fills the chosen space – antechamber, boudoir, bathroom, dressing room, car and other glove compartments – with an intoxicating blend of rose and violet, intertwined with verbena, vetiver, and cedar wood.” you can also get the gorgeous porcelain box monogrammed!!!!

What The Foundation
$46
•••
There was quite a bit of controversy around this foundation balm when it was first released, and it’s definitely unlike any other product I’ve used before — but I have reeeealllly dry skin and this is the best once you get past the initial “huh?” It’s like a heavy moisturizer paste - you take the smallest amount on your fingers and rub it into your skin. No brush! No sponge! Really beautiful sheer coverage and keeps you moisturized all day. There’s also a lovely mild herbal botanical scent - and it doesn’t break you out.
