I really wasn’t sure how I was going to write this review because on one hand I am totally in love with these products, but on the other hand there’s something I’m not so keen on, but I’m slowly changing my mind on that anyway!
First up, please excuse the stock images. I did receive small sample bottles of these products and I did take pictures but then I started using them… only now they are half used have I looked and realised the pictures I took are all out of focus!
So I was sent, as I say, some small samples of these and I thought they sounded beautiful. Blood Orange and Vanilla Shower Gel and Body Milk. I have to say that when I hopped in the shower with the gel, I wasn’t completely enamoured with the scent. I suppose my nose was expecting something like chocolate orange, but this is much more fruity than this, in fact to me it smelt almost alcoholic. A dream product for some! The shower gel lathered beautifully and felt really moisturising however, so when I hopped out of the shower and dried I pressed on with using this the Body Milk and this is a total and utter wow of a product. Seriously!
Rubbing it in it smells just like the shower gel, it’s not horrible by any means, and actually the more I use it, the more I want to use it and like it, but two things are amazing about the body milk. The first thing is that this is possibly the most moisturising body moisturiser I have ever used in my life. I suffer with that Keratosis Pilaris on my upper arms and yet my arms feel soft and actually silky after use. Secondly, after a very short while on the skin the scent mellows out into a wonderful fruity scent but with more emphasis on the vanilla… it’s almost a foodie scent, but not quite. It’s delicious.
In the face of the evidence, my arms, I can’t help but add these products to my wish list. My husband even found himself stroking my arm the other day in a slightly odd manner, going “mmmmmmm sooo smoooothhhh”, which with my skin is virtually unheard of! I certainly don’t expect any kind of results from a body milk, a body butter at a push, but this completely exceeds expectations.
So yes, I want these products in my life. Yes I plan to buy them when I’ve finished the samples (and the Soap & Glory Tote bundle of stuff) and when I do I’ll be buying from the fabulous Active Beauty. A great site stocking a wide range of fab products including this range. You can find the the Body Milk and shower gels there retailing for £18 each for 230ml.
If you haven’t checked out Active Beauty then do so, they have some absolutely fab ranges, especially in the hair care ranges!
