Replica By The Fireplace by Maison Martin Margiela is a new fragrance that recently launched along with Lipstick On that I reviewed for you in a prior post.

I tend to enjoy sweet gourmand blends but fragrances like By the Fireplace capture my attention as I tend to navigate towards warm unisex style fragrances that make me think of warm hugs from a boy. Replica fragrances are intended to evoke a certain feeling or memory when you smell them. By the Fireplace is a fragrance that’s inspired by a fireplace in midwinter. Granted, we’re still very much in Winter but the weather is more like Spring in New York.

Pixi went all out for Spring with a launch of several brand new, permanent skincare launches that range from sleep masks to sleeping oils, cleansers, and beyond.

Really when it comes to skincare packaging shouldn’t matter as you just want something with solid ingredients forget the packaging…but I’m sorry, I just love the cute green bottles, they are so pretty. Ok, ’nuff said about my pretty packaging addiction.

It promises to plump skin while hydrating it without the heavy feel of a facial oil. If you thought Josie Maran Pure Argan Milk Intensive Hydrating Treatment you wouldn’t be alone as that’s one of the first things I thought when I saw this product.

Milk Makeup Sunshine Oil ($38) is a new all over facial and body oil that comes housed in a rather chic, portable rollerball pen which makes it not only mess-free but handy for travel. I love facial oils as much as the next girl or guy and I have drier skin so I fit right into the hydration demographic for a product like this type of product.

I loved packaging on this so I decided to give it a try.
