“I slathered handfuls of it on every inch of exposed skin on my body and I felt instantly rejuvenated”
Photo: Net-A-Porter Legend has it that Jennifer Lopez used to slather her entire body in La Mer face cream. Almost as indulgent is the body cream from Costa Brazil, a new brand from former Calvin Klein designer Francisco Costa. The Body Cream is technically a lotion, though it feels wrong to use such a pedestrian word for such a fancy emulsion.
Kathleen Hou, Beauty Director I firmly believe that summer is better than fall. Summer is the season of moist skin and endless days. Fall is the season of dry skin and dark nights. This body cream, though, almost makes me wish the weather was colder. Diana Tsui, Senior Fashion Market Editor After a week in Italy, my legs were a wreck. Not only were they dry and scaly from the heat but also covered in mosquito bites. I desperately needed something soothing, this body cream did the trick. The scent was refreshing — vaguely smoky and herbal. It smelled like what you’d imagine a chic, stark minimalist room to be, in perfume form, which was only fitting since Francisco Costa was the master of minimalism during his time at Calvin Klein.
It has a soft whipped-butter consistency that glides on smoothly and a fresh, herbaceous smell that makes me feel like I just spent three hours at a fancy organic spa, instead of the departure lounge at the Minneapolis–Saint Paul airport . I’m particularly a fan of the chunky white toothpaste tube it comes in, which is the perfect combination of elegant and medicinal. I just wish it were travel-size so I could bring it with me on my next layover.

But Swift would like to clear some things up about the song, mainly that you really shouldn’t even try to take the trip she maps out in a day.
