Little Luxuries: Margot Elena (Lollia, TokyoMilk, Love & Toast)

I had my first Margot Elena experience when I was browsing beauty.com a few years back. I happened upon the most lovely candles by Lollia and purchased the "Wish" Petite Perfumed Luminary. The fragrance description-"Warm Vanilla Bean and Rice Flower delicately frosted with sugared pastille. Jasmine Leaves sweetened with Sugar Cane. Comforting Ylang Ylang and the sheerest of Amber Woods complete the scene, creating the most luxurious of fragrant escapes" definitely grabbed me, as some of my favorite notes were in there. Yet I can't honestly say that was what got my attention initially. It was this:

Wish Petite Perfumed Luminary
Look how amazingly beautiful it is! Yes, that is a crystal or glass ornament attached to the wick of the candle. It took me forever to actually use it! The quality of the candle is really great, the scent is fabulous. There are more fragrances, too, as Lollia has a range of full bath and body collections. They also sell loungewear, duvets and throws.

Breathe Collection

I would describe Lollia as Margot Elena's romantic, classic, elegant collection. I plan to try more, once I get over my fixation with:

TokyoMilk- One day I was visiting my niece at college, she's very close, in a quaint town with cute shoppes and boutiques. One boutique had a display set up with some lovely hand creams, unusual perfumes, and quirky lip balms. I ended up buying a couple of perfumes and a lip balm through the TokyoMilk website. They sent me samples of hand cream (fabulous!) and bubble bath (decadent!).

TokyoMilk offers quality products in unusual ways, through their fragrance combinations and packaging. They have very cute and interesting cards for every occasion:


They also have fragrance sets ranging from their classics to the Femme Fatale and Fate and Fortune collections.
Honey & the Moon Collection

Destiny Collection


TokyoMilk is quirky, curious and different. Perhaps a bit vintage.


Love & Toast- I hate to say I haven't tried anything from this line yet. I only recently made the connection with TokyoMilk-Margot Elena-Lollia, which in turn led me to Love & Toast. From perusing the website, it seems to be a fun, flirty, breezy collection.

Pomme Poivre Collection


It looks like Margot Elena has a new product line in the works. Nectar + Pollen has a placeholder page, we'll keep you updated when it gets going!

My Margot Elena Favorites (so far!):

Lollia Wish Petite Perfumed Luminary
TokyoMilk BonBon Bubble Bath No.15 Eiffel Tower
TokyoMilk Parfum French Kiss No.15
TokyoMilk Opera Mint BonBon Lip Balm


Next up: More Little Luxuries
Coming up soon: Fun in the Sun (safely!) I'm attending an event this Friday regarding the new SPF guidelines, so I'll be sharing all the good stuff about that on here.
