With 34 fabulous years in the beauty industry, I’ve become the go-to gal for product recommendations. I’m often asked, “What are your absolute must-haves?” Well, today, I’m spilling the tea on the products I truly love and trust, because sharing is caring (and looking fabulous is a must)!

IT'S HERE ALREADY... ARE YOU READY?

Is it just me, or did someone slam their hand on the fast-forward button of life?

We barely survived the holidays. The decorations are still half put away, my credit card is judging me, and suddenly it’s Valentine’s Day. Again. Already. HOW.

And just to keep things spicy, my birthday is January 13th, which means I don’t even get a breather between champagne toasts and existential dread. One minute I’m blowing out candles, the next I’m doing the mental math of how close I am to 60 and, well, closer to death.

Ugh. Truly rude.

I vividly remember every elder in my life saying, “It goes so fast.”
 I smiled politely. I nodded. I absolutely did not believe them.

Now?

I watched my friends’ kids be born and those same kids are now having kids.

SERIOUSLY. WTF.

Time is unhinged. Blink and it’s gone.

And right when you’re still emotionally recovering from family dynamics, gift overload, and end-of-year chaos, Valentine’s Day waltzes in like:

“Hi. Let’s talk about love, romance, expectations, lingerie, dinner reservations, and whether your relationship is thriving or barely surviving.”

Cool cool cool.

But instead of spiraling (too hard), I figured I’d do what I do best.Help you make it easier, sexier, and way more fun.

THE LOVE LIST

GIFTS THAT KEEP GIVING

THE LOVE LETTER TO YOUR SKIN

NEW GLISSANT Fleur De Rose Crème

FACE + BODY CRÈME

The word OBSESSED barely scratches the surface.

The last year? My skin has been through it.
No sleep. Menopause. Stress. And of course… that POS Father Time.

My face and body were tired, dull, and honestly a little pissed at me.

So yes, I went on a full-blown fountain of youth journey.

I started with tallow. And after a boatload of research, I realized something powerful. When you strip ingredients down to their purest, simplest form, skin responds. Deeply. Visibly. Almost immediately.

And listen, you’re talking to a woman who has curated everything.
I have boxes, plural, of “this didn’t work for me” products.
Shelves of regret.

I digress.

Key Benefits

Finding the perfect tallow was no small feat. That alone felt like a win.

But I wanted more. I wanted a love letter to my skin.

So I layered in romance.

Rose essential oils - lush, skin-loving, intoxicating.

A whisper of lavender - calming, grounding, soft.

And the final indulgence: Blended rose petals, because texture matters and beauty should feel decadent.

The result is a decadent formula rich in naturally occurring vitamins A, D, E, and K, delivering deep hydration, restoring elasticity, and enhancing your skin’s natural glow. The kind that looks like you slept, had mind-blowing sex, and great genetics, even when none of those are happening.

I use Fleur De Rose Crème every night. And every morning I wake up slightly shocked at how good my skin looks. Plump. Calm. Luminous. Alive.

And of course, my husband’s skin looks the best after ONE use. 

It’s wildly unfair.

Everyone keeps telling him how amazing he looks, asking what he’s doing… while I’m over here like, “Excuse me, I made this.”

This isn’t skincare.

It’s a ritual.
It’s sensual.
It’s slow beauty that actually works.

And for now… It’s only available inside our Valentine’s Box.  Just a limited invitation to fall in love with your skin again. 💋

THE ICONIC GIFT

Let me be very clear, I have never seen anything like this before.

These Travis Scott sneakers (yes, sneakers, not heels, not couture, not Louboutin) have officially broken my brain.

Everywhere we go, and I mean everywhere, men and women literally stop my husband mid-stride to ask about his shoes. Gas stations, Restaurants, Sidewalks, Airports. It’s mind-blowing.

And listen. I buy Louboutin.
I wear statement pieces.

I’ve never gotten this level of unsolicited attention from footwear. Ever.

Key Benefits

So thank you, Jason and Sarah, for casually starting my husband down what is now a very expensive sneaker path. Truly. 🙄

These Travis Scott sneakers are:

  • Impossible to find
  • Aggressively cool
  • Somehow genderless
  • Apparently irresistible to the human eye

If you manage to track down a pair, they are 100% worth it.

  • Not practical.
  • Not easy.
  • Not budget-friendly.

But iconic.

Good luck out there.
May the sneaker gods be ever in your favor. 👟🔥

Smells Like Trouble (And I’m Into It)

I bought this fragrance for my husband for Christmas and… wow. He is obsessed.

And honestly? So am I.

It’s undeniably sexy. The kind of scent that makes you lean in closer without realizing it. A little rugged, a little dangerous, yet somehow still polished and sophisticated.

The bottle alone is a whole moment. strong, architectural, quietly confident.

Key Benefits

He definitely needed a change, even though this lives in the same world as his beloved Hermès scent. Familiar, but elevated. This one just hits differently.

I love it on him. Like, really love it on him.

Of all the scents they offer, this is the one I keep coming back to.

Bvlgari Le Gemme Tygar is a stunning contrast of fresh, bursting grapefruit layered over deep, sophisticated ambergris. Clean but commanding. Bright yet grounded. Sexy without trying too hard.

It smells expensive.
It smells confident.
It smells like trouble, in the best way.

Highly recommend, especially if you want your man to smell unforgettable. 💋

VALENTINE'S BOÎTE

Let your skin bloom.
Let your body surrender.
Let desire take over.

This is not a gift.
It’s an invitation.

This limited edition Box of Love was created for nights that unravel. When the air grows heavy, touch becomes deliberate, and roses meet bare skin in the dark. Designed to soften defenses, awaken craving, and turn intimacy into something slower, deeper, and harder to resist.

Perfect for Valentine’s night, anniversaries, or any moment that deserves roses, skin, and surrender.

BOÎTE CONTAINS:

The Valentine’s Boîte is a curated ritual of intimacy, designed to feel deeply personal. Select the GLISSANT lubricant that suits your needs, while two signature essentials remain constant, anchoring the experience in softness, touch, and connection.

FLEUR DE ROSE CRÈME envelops the skin in rose infused nourishment, melting on contact to leave it luminous and irresistibly touchable.

HUILE DE BIEN ÊTRE, infused with 400 mg of CBD and CBG, glides effortlessly to relax the body and transform massage into a slow, intentional ritual.

Together, the Boîte becomes an invitation. Fluid. Indulgent. Impossible to rush.

DON'T FORGET TO LUBE

Because Chemistry Is Hot. But Glide Is Everything

Lube isn’t optional, it’s a luxury.

And luxury should feel intentional, sensual, and personal.

Whether you’re gifting your partner, yourself, or sharing the experience together, these formulas were created to meet you exactly where you are and take you somewhere better.

This Valentine’s Day, don’t just show up. Arrive prepared. 💋✨

Valentine’s Day intimacy should feel effortless, indulgent, and deliciously intentional. And the truth? 

The right lube doesn’t just enhance the moment. It sets the tone.

Whether you’re planning something slow and romantic, playful and flirty, or unapologetically passionate, there’s a formula for every mood, every body, and every kind of love. 💋

💋 Eau D’Amour - Sea Salt & Caramel

For nights that linger… and don’t feel rushed

This is the lube that makes people pause mid-kiss.

Silky, smooth, and impossibly luxurious, Eau D’Amour delivers effortless glide with a subtle, addictive hint of sea salt and caramel, warm, unexpected, and softly edible. It’s not sticky. It doesn’t interrupt the moment. It just flows.

Perfect for:

  • Long nights
  • Deep connection
  • When you want intimacy to feel indulgent, not clinical
  • Condom and toy safe

It’s sensual. It’s elevated. It’s the kind of detail that gets remembered.

🤍 Hydratant D’Amour

For everyday intimacy and bodies that want more comfort.

Think of this as your go to, always ready formula.

Hydratant D’Amour is lightweight, hydrating, and incredibly gentle, designed to support natural moisture while keeping everything soft, comfortable, and responsive. It’s intimate wellness without the fuss.

Perfect for:

  • Sensitive skin
  • Daily intimacy
  • When comfort is the turn-on
  • Condom and toy safe

Quietly sexy. Deeply supportive. A must-have for anyone who values ease and intention.

🔥 Huile D'Amour CBD Intimacy Formula

For when you want to feel everything, more

This one is for pleasure seekers.

Infused with CBD, this formula helps relax tension, heighten sensation, and encourage the body to fully surrender to touch. It’s grounding, warming, and deeply indulgent, designed to help you stay present and open to pleasure. My personal Fav!

Perfect for:

  • Slowing down
  • Enhancing sensation
  • Turning “off” your brain and “on” your body
  • Those who tend to have pain with intercourse
  • Not toy or condom safe

Consider it intimacy with a little extra depth.

Whether you’re celebrating big love, self-love, new love, long love, or just the fact that you survived another year on this wildly fast-moving planet — let this be your reminder:

Romance doesn’t have to be loud.
Sexy doesn’t have to be complicated.
And pleasure — in all its forms — is never a luxury. It’s a necessity.

Light the candle. Use the good stuff. Take your time.
Touch more. Laugh more. Overthink less.

Because if life is flying by (and it absolutely is), we might as well feel really, really good while we’re here.

Happy Valentine’s Day, lovers. 💘

xoxo Renée
