Q&A with Dylan Lauren, founder and CEO of Dylan’s Candy Bar Re-Treat

Dylan and the Candy Girls!

On November 13, Dylan Lauren, the founder and CEO of Dylan’s Candy Bar, made a sweet appearance at the 42nd Street, Times Square location. Thanks to her new Re-Treat line, the entire store smelled like a yummy bakery, and everyone enjoyed chocolate cupcakes that were passed around by Dylan’s Candy Girls. Customers got to play with the bath and body products and meet the confectionery genius herself! After we got all sugared up, we asked Dylan a few questions:

Sephora - What's your fave Re-Treat scent?
Dylan - My favorite scent is Birthday Cake Batter, then Chocolate Cupcake.

Sephora – What's your fave Re-Treat product?
Dylan - My fave item is the Candy Lip Saver Stackable because it looks like a roll of Lifesavers. It's colorful and you get four lip moisturizers in one package for a fabulous price!

Sephora - You've mentioned in the past that you love Cadbury Crème Eggs. Any plans to launch a Cadbury Crème line in the future?
Dylan - Maybe we'll do a Cadbury Crème Egg Re-Treat flavor. It’s a great idea, but then again, if you mix Chocolate Cupcake and Birthday Cake Batter, the result resembles it.

Sephora - What products from your line do you think make a great stocking stuffer or Secret Santa gift?
Dylan - They all make fabulous holiday gifts. The Candy Lip Saver Stackable is great and colorful, and the Soda Pop Shower Gel has good height that will pop out from a stocking perfectly!

Sephora - Can you mix the different scents from your line?
Dylan - Yes, you can mix and match scents. The mixture of Birthday Cake Batter, Chocolate Cupcake and Coconut Bon Bon smells like German Chocolate Cake, and the combo of Birthday Cake Batter and Strawberry Licorice gives off a Strawberry Shortcake scent.

Be a Lush With a Sparkling Bubble Bath

Beauty Digest, bath, lush No Comments »

One of the simplest, most leisurely, and affordable luxuries is a bubble bath. Most of the time, I just squirt some shower gel into the bath, but sometimes I treat myself to more of a spa-like treatment by splurging on a bath fizzy.

Around this time of year, I head to Lush to stock up on its Holiday bubble bar ($6.95). It is a ruby-red, sparkling thing of beauty that smells so gorgeous. The scent of carnations, a hint of tangerine and a bit of rose is soft and subtle and fresh. And it is such a treat to bathe in a pool of bubbly, shimmery pink water. I can get two uses out of each bubble bar, so it's an easy way to feel fancy without losing your shirt.

Six Reasons to Love These Bath Fizzers

Anti-Body, Beauty Digest, bath, eco No Comments »

How do I love these Anti-Body Bath Fizzers ($9.95)? Let me count the ways:

They're vegan, paraben-free, and not tested on animals.
They're tucked in a cute farm-themed recyclable carton.
They smell like fresh lemongrass (or lavender or flowers, if you prefer).
You get six for just under $10 — an affordable bit of luxury.
They fizz up, then soften skin with shea butter.
Best of all, the fair-trade shea butter provides jobs for women in Togo.

You might find your own reasons, but these six are a pretty good start.

Trick Or Treat, Smell These Sweets!

Beauty Digest, Skincare, bath No Comments »

I always dress up for Halloween (and not as the "naughty," "sexy," or "slutty" version of otherwise respectable professions, thankyouverymuch).

Unfortunately, the days of house-hopping trick or treating are long gone, which means the only sack of candy I get are the ones I buy myself.

Consider this the grown-up-girl equivalent of that pillowcase full of precious candy cargo you'd collect, then hoard, as a kid. Plus, instead of making your pants scream and your gut bust, Philosophy's Haunted House is filled with yummy skin-softening treats in delish flavors like Black Licorice and Carmel Apple.

Knock knock, Philosophy! This grown girl wants to trick or treat at your house.
