Bite Beauty The Perfect Pair Amuse Bouche Set
Bite Beauty is doubling up on its beloved (add to that creamy!) Amuse Bouche lipsticks with two perfect pairings. We suggest you or, ahem, a friend keep the Meringue/Fig duo shown for everyday, and then try the Thistle/Rhubarb duo for times when you want to spice things up.

Herbivore Coco Rose Coconut Oil Body Polish
This body scrub from Herbivore is formulated with sugar for sloughing off dead cells, along with all-natural oils (the hero being coconut) for leaving skin feeling moisturized. The infusion of Moroccan rose not only lends to the polish’s intoxicating scent, but is said to help fight aging and cellular damage. Scoop up a jar for yourself and anyone else who could use a little extra TLC.
