There are two types of cosmetic smells that I cannot stand; the smell of cocoa butter and the smell of vanilla. I couldn't tell you the number of times I have been given gift sets from family and friends, which contain some sort of lotion or shower gel with either of those two smells present. Each and every time, these lotions give off the plastic, sickly-sweet smell of synthetic ingredients, harvested from multiple chemicals having-been mixed together and pumped full of additives to extend their shelf life. Yuck!
So when I noticed that Lush were offering a vanilla body lotion, I wasn't overly keen to try it out. However, I was lucky enough to try out a Vanilla Fountain bath bomb before they were discontinued, and after falling in love with the natural vanilla scent that permeated my bath, I just knew that Vanilla Dee-Lite was something different from the usual hum drum.

Spring water, hibiscus infusion and coconut water are combined with extra virgin coconut oil, cocoa butter, illipe butter and tamanu oil, to give you a sultry, smoky lotion that glides across your body with ease. The combination of this and the fresh kiwi fruit, which is packed full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, help to soften pores and dissolve dead skin.

This is my second favourite body lotion after Karma Kream, and one that I hope they'll continue to sell for a long time coming. If, like me, you are fed up of the manufactured vanilla scent, this will bowl your heart over and become a staple in your beauty regime.

ReplyDeleteI wish I got this when it was still out!
ReplyDeleteIs this a seasonal product? Along with the Vanilla Puff Powder, it doesn't seem to be on the Canadian website right now.
ReplyDeleteIt was discontinued back in July!
DeleteIt will be back in the shops in Europe this year? I hope so, because it's the best Body Lotion for me since six years!! I was very upset, that I couldn't buy it anymore in the shop.
DeleteHow do you know?
