I’ll be stocking up on my beloved Kenzo Amour!
Over two years ago, I told you about the KENZOKI Milky Rice Body Scrub and how it looked like rice pudding yet smelled like something even more delicious: rice steam (trust me when I say that rice steam is delicious!).
Now, KENZOKI has a new product that is softly scented with rice steam: KENZOKI Marshmallow Mask.
I have yet to try this new mask but if it’s anything like the other products in the KENZOKI line I can almost guarantee it will be good.
Suited for normal to dry skin, KENZOKI Marshmallow Mask has cocoa butter and cameline oil to hydrate the skin. I can’t wait to try it!
KENZOKI Marshmallow Mask is available online at KenzoUSA.com for $45.

Although it’s been a relatively mild summer thus far in Kauai, it’s still hot and humid enough to leave me feeling sticky and less than glamorous come 3:00 p.m.
The easiest way to boost my spirits, I’ve found, is a spritz of one of my favorite summer scents. Light and easy, these four fragrances have been in constant rotation this summer (until Bree stole my bottle of Sheer Calyx, that is). A quick spray of fragrance instantly lifts my mood and makes a hot summer afternoon bearable. (Also? I smell better.)
Here are the scents that have kept me feeling fresh and pretty all summer long:
Kenzo L’eauparKenzo eau Indigo This has been my favorite evening fragrance all summer. I have yet to even want to wear anything else. Notes of ylang ylang and sambac jasmine make this Kenzo scent slightly powdery and very special. Each morning I sniff my wrists for the lingering notes of the previous night and smile to myself.
Degree Classic Romance I’m obsessed with clinical strength deodorant but hate how the “sporty” scent clashes with my fragrance. Now Degree has a clinical strength deodorant in the “Classic Romance” scent to match my favorite Degree Classic Romance body mist from their Fine Fragrance Collection. I can layer this citrus-y floral scent and smell delicious even as I melt under the hot sun.
Prescriptives Sheer Calyx Like Oprah, I’m drawn to grapefruit top notes and this light, refreshing version of the original Calyx is just my speed. Exotic fruits, lush flowers and smooth woods make this an easy scent to love. (Just ask Bree!)
Thierry Mugler Angel Sunessence If you like the original Angel, you’re going to love this summer version of the gourmand fragrance. With all the same delicious notes that made me fall in love with the original Angel (honey, vanilla, caramel—sounds like an ice cream sundae!), Sunessence is softer and lighter than her older sister.
What fragrances are you wearing and loving this summer?
Honor the special man in your life this Father’s Day with a thoughtful gift of fragrance. These Makeup Bag favorites are sure to put a smile on dad’s face without making a dent in your wallet:

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Pour Homme
Winner of the 2008 Fifi Fragrance of the Year Award, D&G Light Blue Pour Homme is a refreshing blend of citrus, woods and spice. ($40)
L’eauparKenzo Homme eau Indigo
The newest fragrance from Kenzo, the brand responsible for my most favorite Kenzo Amour, L’eauparKenzo Homme eau Indigo is a sensual scent with notes of ginger, coriander, elemi, vetiver, cedar and tonka bean. ($55)
Jo Malone Amber & Lavender Cologne
I first bought Jo Malone Amber & Lavender Cologne for my husband in 2005. It’s a gorgeous amber scent combined with French lavender and myrrh that can be worn alone or layered with other scents. ($100)
This classic woody, leather fragrance was on my dad’s dresser for years. A masculine, everyday scent that appeals to many, Aramis is a timeless gift. ($72)
DKNYMen is a modern fragrance that just debuted this spring. This is the scent that Janey chose to give her daddy for Father’s Day (sshhh!) after sniffing dozens of men’s cologne at Sephora. The notes include citrus, spices, textured florals and sensuous woods. ($65)
