Chanel Hydra Gloss Trio & La Creme Mains Hand Lotion Holiday 2026 Gift Sets

Chanel holiday is here and there are two gifts that will have your list checked off .  

Both come in soft Chanel fabric pouches . 

The  Rouge Coco Hydra Gloss Trio gloss comes in a lined drawstring pouch and has three new Hydra Gloss. Givre is sheer white,  Etincelle is sheer gold  and Aura is a  sheer peach coral, that one is only available  in this set , the other two are available individually.  All  three have major shimmer and are so wearable. 

If you haven't tried the new Chanel Hydra Gloss yet the Hydra in the name is there for a reason.  They are moisturizing enough that you don't need a balm with these and the moisture lasts. 

The La Creme Mains   hand cream comes  in a zippered white carry pouch.  Chanel and La Creme Main are embossed in gold on the outside and there is a gold CC tag.  The pouch can be reused .  It's a elegant holder for your hand lotion and what giftee  ( or you) couldn't use that ?

Dove UV Repair and Glow

 

Hair needs UV protection just like skin .  It also helps keep color from fading.

There have a been some good sun protection lines around, many higher end brands. New is Dove's UV Repair and Glow.   Not only do these have a great price point but they give solid UV protection as well as helping to repair damage and keep strands holding up better in the sun. 

My favorite is the  Repair and Glow Serum  and Oil Spray. I can spray this on my ends that get  dried  out in the sun. It's slightly moisturizing but not greasy and has  UV 70 HPF . According to the brand it's the first serum for hair with UV 70.  It can be misted on hair or onto hands and applied where you need it.   This has worked well on my hair, using it  each day before I am out in the sun. It  doesn't completely  stop the sun from drying my hair some but it helps a good bit. The Spray is meant to be  not only help hair in the sun but repair the  damage from it with each use with coconut and apricot kernal oils. This does have a strong scent, it's a  nice floral fruity one but it is strong.  9.99

The 10 in 1  Radical Recovery Mask is a 1 minute extra hydrator and damage repair that you can use once a week or more.  It has little beads in it that melt when used and adds moisture, and damage repair, not just from the sun. It's lightweight but  does well giving a hair a quick moisture boost . 9.99

 

The UV Repair and Glow Shampoo and Conditioner have become favorites.  The Shampoo gets hair clean, brightens or lightens my hair  , and the Conditioner is a heavy conditioner that  leaves hair soft and comb thru. It works almost better than the mask.  4.99 each

Chanel Hydra Beauty Micro Gel Creme and Micro Creme

 

New from Chanel in the Hydra Beauty line are two  moisturizers, Micro Gel Creme and Micro Creme. 

I like a  light formula this time of  year and the The Hydra Beauty Micro Gel Creme is a refreshing , light  moisturizer. Great for  warmer days when you need moisture but want something that's not heavy.  It's a more gel than creme  and is a thicker formula with micro beads in it that burst as you apply. It feels cool and light on skin and a little tacky for awhile but moisturizes well. It's not for drier skins  , you'll want the cream version for that . The scent is light but astringent herbal and it sinks in pretty quickly. Also you don't need a lot each use. A small amount goes a long way.  This has been just right for my skin  in this weather, it's moisturized well but doesn't seem like I've added much. 

Ingredients include white camellia extract, camellia seed oil and hyaluronic acid . 

The Micro Creme is a heavier but not a greasy, heavy moisturizing cream formula. It's thick and hydrating  with the micro bubbles 

Both are available now at Chanel.com for $110 each 1.7 oz.  and both are refillable.

Brown Bee Self Tanning Mousse and Gradual Tanning Moisturizer

 

Brown Bee is a  new self tanning line from Argentina .  Founded by two women as a professional self tan inspired by spray tans  with sugar cane and DHA as the active tanning ingredients.

There are two mousses , one with a built in bronzer color and the other clear. I used the bronzing mousser with instant color, Self Tanning Air Mousse. 

The  Self Tanning Air Mousse goes on pretty deep ,  but looks natural and tanned on my fair skin.  The color deepens a little as it dries but doesn't look too dark or orange. Not all built in bronzer self tanners have a lot color after washing off this one does.After washing there is still a lot of color left  and the color lasts .  The mousse is  highly fragranced.   Not a self tanner scent, and  it does fade fairly quickly .  It's somewhat moisturizing too with aloe, glycerin and vitamin E.  This was easy to apply with the brands self tanning mitt , I had no streaks and no missed spots. 

There is a gradual tanning lotion , Gradual Tan Daily Moisturizer if you want to build color slowly or use every day. The gradual lotion goes on with no color and is very moisturizing with hyaluronic acid, shea butter and jojoba oil . It can be used as body lotion and self tanner.  The first application leaves  a little color.  You can see it but it's not too deep.  Maybe two shades than skin tone.   It dries fast and you have color with about 6 hours.   There is  a light floral fragrance in this much less than the mousse has. 

These  are both are top self tanners and I have used a lot of them. Easily one of the better ones I've used and will keep me and The Mom tanned for Summer. 

Brown Bee is available at their website www.brownbeeshop.com  and on Amazon. 

Self Tanning Air Mousse is $ 52

Gradual Tan Daily Moisturizer is $38
