In the Bag: Luxe Hotel Minis

Last weekend, I had the joy of staying at the Parker in Palm Springs. Among the many gems that the Jonathan Adler-designed hotel had to offer were the complimentary high-end beauty products. While many hotels stock the bathrooms with in-house brands of shampoos, conditioners and lotions, the Parker supplies guests with an assortment of luxury products (which I found thrilling). Among my favorites were the Molton Brown body wash and the Hermes Eau D'Orange perfumed soap. 

The Molton Brown Enlivening Toko-Yuzu bath and shower gel promotes healthy skin tone and offers anti-oxidant protection but most importantly, with notes of orange, lemon, cardamom and ginger, the scent is zesty and exotic –  perfect for this time of year. 

While I usually prefer liquid soap, the Hermes Eau D'Orange Verte perfumed soap has changed my ways. With notes of citrus, mint and wood, the soap leaves skin lightly scented, moisturized and smooth. 

I am so glad these products stumbled into my beauty bag and will definitely purchase the full-size versions when my hotel minis run out.
