Buy it now: Linda Rodin beauty

Dum, dum, dum… Still a-tapping my fingers waiting for the Linda Rodin lipstick rollout*. Meanwhile, I thought I’d do a recap on some of her other cult products…

The face oils. The brand originated in 2007 with RODIN Olio Lusso face oil, her luxury elixir blend of essential oils with its distinctive jasmine and neroli scent. The latest addition is the just-launched, Lavender Absolute Face Oil (below) which sounds like utter heaven. Buy it at Olio Lusso.

The body oils. These come in Jasmine Neroli and now the new Lavender Absolute variety, designed to be applied to damp skin to moisturise and scent post-shower. Buy them at Net-a-Porter and Olio Lusso.

The lip balm. I love the packaging and the delicate tint of this Blush lip balm, which blends jasmine, orange flower oil, shea butter, beeswax, and castor seed oil. It’s also available in a ring version. Buy it at Liberty.

Facial cleansing powder. A combo of rice bran with sea algae and the signature jasmine and neroli, this exfoliating powder preps the skin to receive the facial oil. Buy it at Net-a-Porter.

The perfumes. Launched in 2012, the original RODIN perfume has the signature jasmine and neroli scent in a classic, minimalist bottle. RODIN Bis is a green violet fragrance which I haven’t smelt although the reviews on Fragrantica are mixed. Buy them at Barneys and Olio Lusso.

*UPDATE: The RODIN lipsticks have now launched in the UK. There are five shades, all packed with Rodin’s famous essential oils with a creamy matte finish. Find them at Net-a-Porter, or in the U.S at Barneys.
