I recently popped by a LUSH and picked up a bottle of Sonic Death Monkey Bath Gel. Wow. Just wow. This stuff smells awesome…beyond belief. The smell is a mixture of Chocolate and Coffee, with some vanilla and oange thrown in. I would not think Citrus and Coffee would work together…but they do. The smell is kinda like a spicy Chocolate Orange…calming yet invigorating. I want to drink it. It also lathers beautifully and leaves my skin feeling soft and clean.
Some other honourable mentions among body washes?
Frosting Forever by BBW smells like a frosted cupcake and does a good job of lathering and cleaning.
Dove CreamOil bodywashes are very nice feeling. They are more like a cream than a wash, though they do lather, and leave my skin feeling soft as could be. The scent is a thumbs down though. It doesn’t smell bad…but nothing special either…just that generic Dove smell all Dove products have, regardless of the “flavour” on the bottle.
I love Dove’s new video though:
I’ve been waiting for this
Remember my very favorite body lotion ever? Well, I have long been aware that there is a matching Body Wash, but it is not available in Canada.
Lucky for me, my mom picked me up a bottle last weekend when she was south of the ole’ border. Thanx mom!
It certainly lived up to my expectations. Has the same lovely vanilla scent, lathers nicely, rinses easily and leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth. Since it is summer, I am not sure how moisturizing it would be on dry rough skin…but even if it does not do a great job of moisturizing, I have the matching lotion on hand always!
A match made in heaven…and not even expensive!
I LOVE Dial Almond and Soy Milk body wash because:
*It smells awesome
*It creates a thick rich lather
*It smells amazing
*It rinses off easily
*It smells incredible
*It is moisturizing
*It smells fabulous
*It is cheap
Buy it. Did I mention the great smell?
Best Body Lotion
I’ve used St.Ives Swiss Vanilla Moisture Therapy Lotion (Used to be called St. Ives Aromatherapy Swiss Vanilla Moisture Lotion) for many years now. I use others as well, but always seem to return to this one and always have a bottle of this on the counter. I just love it!
The Lotion costs about $6.99 CAD a bottle, and is often on sale for less. St.Ives products are easily available in Canadian drugstores and supermarkets. 1 bottle lasts me about 4 months with almost daily use.
It smells great!! It smells like Vanilla Ice cream, in a good way. Not too sweet. It is strong enough to smell on your skin all day if you try, but not to strong that it would clash with your perfume or follow you around.
I like to smooth it on my skin after my shower; while my skin is still slightly damp. It is not at all greasy feeling and absorbs quickly, leaving smooth feeling skin and that lovely scent. That smooth feeling lasts all day as does the scent (not strong, but if I sniff for it it is there). I’m not sure if it would be moisturizing enough for SEVERLY dry skin-but it does not claim to be. For my sometimes dry and tight skin it does the job-and I never notice any dry or flaky spots once the lotion is absorbed, as I sometimes do with other lotions.
I also usually apply some of this lotion to my hands and shoulders before bed, on dry skin. It absorbs almost as well as on wet skin…and smells great in bed!!! There is a matching body wash, but not in Canada :(
