Posted on October 30, 2013

As sunshine and heat give way to gray skies and cool air, there’s nothing better on a crisp fall night than soaking in a sudsy tub. This Halloween, cut the candy and instead indulge in a coconut-scented scrub or layer on a sugary lip gloss. It’s the perfect time of year to celebrate sweet body and beauty treats.
Philosophy Birthday Girl Set
Sephora, $20
Careful not to get cavities with this new Philosophy pair; this two-piece set includes a vanilla birthday cake bubble bath, shampoo and shower gel hybrid with a high-shine vanilla birthday cake gloss. Lavish your lips and spoil your body while bathing in this rich, frothy, vanilla-scented tub-time treat and leaving lips coated in this confectionary pout glaze. A perfect set for the girly girl’s birthday or anyone looking for a sweet treat.
The Body Shop Coconut Shower, Scrub and Soften Collection
Amazon, $20
Long, crisp fall days can leave you longing for a beach getaway at a tropical island, but if a trip to somewhere with sand and surf is not possible, try this rich trio from The Body Shop. The soap-free shower cream is far superior to any soap and hydrates from head to toe with virgin coconut oil and an intoxicating tropical scent. The coconut body scrub, also made with cold-pressed virgin coconut oil, is another delight for the senses and skin and leaves every nook and cranny sloughed and smooth. Other components of the collection include the coconut body butter, which moisturizes for a full 24 hours, and the coconut soap and bath lily.
Marc Jacobs Honey Fragrance Body Lotion
Marc Jacobs, $45
Sunny yellow screaming with white polka dots, this cheerily packaged body lotion is a new release from Marc Jacobs and is reminiscent of a garden of bees and butterflies. An energetic fragrance buzzing with notes of fresh fruit punch, ripe green pear and juicy mandarin, this is the perfect luxury after a shower or on a chilly fall day. Prepare to perk up even more with additional notes of honeysuckle, vanilla, peach, apricot and orange blossom.
Laura Geller Beauty Sweet Kisses
ULTA, $15
Test-drive these sweet balms and delectable scrub from Laura Geller. Perfect for canoodling near the fireplace or for a peck under the mistletoe, these two sweet balms in So Rosy and So Sassy are the ideal pink and red shades to permanently stash in your purse. Add the Lip Strip, a sugary scrub for lips, to your weekly routine and prepare to have the softest and most enticingly smooth pout, so it will be nearly impossible to keep suitors away.
Aquolina Pink Sugar Hair Perfume
Nordstrom, $15
Skip a day washing your hair and enjoy the Halloween hoopla with this pick-me-up perfume for your tresses. No one will know you skipped a shampoo, and you may even receive more compliments than usual with this sugary spray. As if a carnival was bottled in a cute glossy reddish-pink bottle, the fragrance notes in this hair saver include cotton candy, strawberry, raspberry, vanilla and amber.
