What’s not to love about coconuts? Drinking coconut water is still quite a craze here, and coconut oil and ingredients is known to be great for the skin and hair. The icing on top of the cake, in our opinion… coconut smells wonderful. Deliciously mouth-wartering, plus it reminds us of a beach holiday and pina coladas.
Sephora Caps Creamy Body Wash in Coconut, $2 each
This handy capsule holds enough for one wash and is so great for traveling or sampling a new scent as it only costs $2. The body wash is really creamy and feels super hydrating on the skin. The fresh coconut scent is really lip-smacking and leaves my skin subtly perfumed for up to a couple of hours. I wish I had a perfume that smells like this that I can spritz on all the time.
Marc Jacobs Beauty Under(cover) Perfecting Coconut Face Primer, $69
The liquid-y primer smooths on skin readily and a single pump is enough for the whole face. It makes skin velvety soft with a beautiful natural-looking sheen. I’d use it on its own for casual weekends, but on weekdays, it gives my complexion a glow when applied before foundation.

This has coconut oil and Moroccan rose petals… what could be better or more pampering for skin? Spread a handful of this pink formula on your body and rub gently in a circular motion to buff dead skin. I love that it isn’t too rough or grainy in texture. Leave on for a couple of minutes before rinsing off and skin is so amazingly soft and sweet-smelling, you’ll feel like you’re drifting on a cloud all day.
