By Ashley Kowalewski
Favourite fragrance: “It’s a daily toss up between Le Labo Bergamote 22 and Hermès Terre d’Hermès. Both are clean, bright scents with tangy citrus and herbaceous green notes, not sweet. Bergamote 22 is prettier, but Terre d’Hermès has an extra vetiver kick of which I can’t get enough. And I get mad compliments whenever I wear either one.” Le Labo Bergamote 22 EDP, $230 (100 ml), www.lelabofragrances.com, www.6bygeebeauty.com; Hermès Terre d’Hermès EDT, $85 (50 ml), www.hermes.com
Favourite Moisturizer: “For the last couple of months I’ve been using a three-part hydrating skincare collection: Intraceuticals Rejuvenate Daily Serum, Rejuvenate Hydration Gel, and Rejuvenate Moisture-Binding Cream. The trio spins on the concept of layering multi-sized hyaluronic-acid molecules to provide better hydration. My skin loves it so much that now that I’m almost finished the line, I’ve broken off the tops of the bottles to get at the remnants. True story.” $185, $98 and $98, www.intraceuticals.com, available at Ritual in Toronto, www.ritual.ca
Favourite Body Wash: “I have several on the go! Weleda Sea Buckthorn Creamy Body Wash, Violet Oasis Orange Blossom, Vanilla and Fennel Bath & Body Gel and Güd by Burt’s Bees Orange Petalooza Body Wash (on shelves in October). All three have cheery citrusy scents that just make me happy. All three also have related body lotions with silky rich textures that aren’t too heavy on hot days.” Weleda Sea Buckthorn Creamy Body Wash, $15, www.weleda.com; Violet Oasis Orange Blossom, Vanilla and Fennel Bath & Body Gel, $24, www.violetoasis.com; Güd by Burt’s Bees Orange Petalooza Natural Body Wash, $8, www.gudhappens.com
Favourite scented cosmetics: “Scent is never a driving reason for me to use a cosmetic; none of the items I use regularly has a particular fragrance that makes me keep using it. For example, I like the scent of my Maybelline New York Baby Lips Electro Lip Balm in Pink Shock, but it’s the texture and colour—and how amazing it is on cheeks, too—that makes it one of my essentials.” Maybelline New York Baby Lips Electro Lip Balm, $5, www.maybelline.ca
