Product Review: Heidi Klein Coconut Beach Whipped Moisturizer

Heidi Klein, a brand which brings us "holiday" shopping all year round has an amazing two-product coconut, vanilla and jasmine flower beauty range. First there was the Coconut Beach Sea Salt Scrub ($50) and shortly thereafter came the luxuriously thick, non-greasy and powerful beach scented Coconut Beach Whipped Moisturizer ($48).

Not only is it a heavenly (a word I don't often use) over-indulgence for your senses, but it is also formulated with sweet almond oil, monoi de Tahiti, lotus flower milk, marine extracts and cocoa butter. It all feels incredibly smooth on your skin. I'm addicted to using it on my arms and legs as a post-bath-time treat, and surprisingly all you need is a little bit to go the distance (since it's so oil-enriched) so the 5.1 ounce jar should last you a good few months.

And apparently, I'm not the only one who's nutty over this coconut body lotion. Among the jet-setting social crowd, it's a pre-season must-have. It has become such a popular insider cult product that it's actually out of stock online at the moment. But, if you simply can't wait, you can visit the boutiques, or if you live out of area, just call 212-327-1700 and they'll ship it out to you.

Finally, a bit of British holiday in the heart of New York City! Heidi Klein started in London in 2002 with a vacation-centric store. The founders, Heidi Gosman and Penny Klein both appreciated how difficult it was to shop for holiday essentials and a well fitting swim suit. The vision of the company is to "Help women look fantastic and to get organized before a holiday."

The boutique, which has opened on the Upper East Side in NYC is reminiscent of a relaxed, calm and chic high-end vacation spot. The walls are white and accented with beautiful sheer white curtains which make you feel like you are in a cabana. They sell: women's swimwear, beach cover-ups, kaftans, flip flops, tops, sarongs, hats, sunglasses, bags as well as pieces for men and children.

There are several styles of bathing suits available such as: bikinis, one pieces, tankinis and maternity suits. There are also two fabulous mix and match lines called Essentials and Provence which we all know is great for those of us who don't have perfect proportions! What I love about the suits is that they provide full coverage in the rear, but are still quite posh and sexy.

The suits are available in bold and fun prints as well as nautical stripes and classical colors. And if you are shopping for something other than the Heidi Klein Private Label, you can also browse items from: Vilebrequin, Eres, and Melissa Odabash. The boutique also sells the brand's own candles for $54, a whipped moisturizer for $48 and a sea salt scrub for $45.
