I’m not entirely sure where I got this from now, possibly the beauty vault, but I found it recently in the back of drawer – surprising seeing as I love Lush products.
I noticed it said it was best before July – oops it's October now! Anyway I opened the black, screw top pottle it to see if it was still alright. I was greeted by the smell YUM!. It is kind of fruity but not exactly citrus – which may be because of its age (eek).Anyway, it is lovely, and lingers on the skin.
I loved the buttery feel of the thick, white, cream when I was rubbing it on my skin. BUT sadly, like most other people, I found it very greasy and after 15 minutes of rubbing my hands, I gave in and washed it off. I have to say though, my hands were soft after I’d dried them, and the scent was still very strong. So while it definitely is too greasy, it is still usable.
I don’t think I’d buy it, it really is too greasy for me, and I haven’t really thought of a suitable alternative use for it. Sad though, it really does smell lovely.
When I first spotted this on the Lush website, I laughed out loud, there was no way I was paying nearly $40 for a body lotion. When I saw it in the BR vault, however, I sat there refreshing on vault day because I couldn't let it go, and I had to have it. And have it I did.
Surprisingly, a little of this goes a long way. It's thick like TBS body butters but at least I know this is definitely cruelty free. It's stark white and smells like the Golden Wonder bath bomb, but I feel like this smells more like the Fruit Loops cereal than anything else, and I ain't complaining because my inner and outer child love that colorful delight.
As I said, it's thick, so you don't need a lot. I scoop some out with my clean hands and apply to body, rubbing until its mostly in. The one thing I hate about this is that it never absorbs properly, so if you want to wear skinny jeans you better believe you won't be wearing them in a hurry.
I do like this moisturizer but if I can't wear pants with it on I don't see the point of it. I don't think I'd repurchase it, sadly. It's not a miss for the company, as it is so lovely, it just has a big negative I can't get past.
