Spring-Scented Lotions to Cure Your Winter Blues

For those of us who love the bright colors and delicious scents of the warmer months, Winter can sometimes be a serious drag. But once I got my hands on these three L'Occitane's Shea Butter Ultra Soft Creams ($50, originally $72), I got a little pep put back in my step. Rose heart, zesty lime, and vanilla bouquet are three fragrances you wouldn't typically think to slather on in the dead of Winter, but believe me, you'll welcome the Spring scents. Aside from the sensual experience, you also get the benefit of an insanely moisturizing cream that isn't the least bit greasy. And those who find L'Occitane's other shea butters a little too heavy are in luck; since the soft creams are only made with 10 percent shea butter, they glide on like silk and absorb in an instant. The weather may not get above freezing for a while, but at least we can smell like Summer.
