The uplifting citrus scent in the only Lush item that makes me a Happy Hippy

February 5, 2014 Paris B 29 Comments

Lush is a store that you either love to walk into, or take great pains to cross the road so you don’t have to walk past it. I am in the latter camp. Whenever I see (or rather, smell) a Lush store approaching, I take a deep breath, hold it and scurry past, gasping for air 50m down the road. I remember exiting the store at Covent Garden with a throbbing head after descending into the basement to pick up some items requested by friends. The strong co-mingled scents really got to me. It’s a wonder I didn’t pass out.

Yet it was then that I discovered the one Lush item I enjoy using. Yes, after trying a few of their popular handmade soaps and not liking them very much, there is just one item I’d be happy to use. The Happy Hippy shower gel.

If you love citrus scents, particularly that of grapefruit, in your body washes, you too will find yourself drawn to this shower gel which has a delightful fresh, zesty scent to it. Perfect for waking you up in the mornings, or just refreshing yourself after a long hot day.

Ending a long day with the Organic Relaxing Marius Fabre Olivia Shower Gel

September 13, 2013 Paris B 14 Comments

A couple of days ago, I shared a very affordable daily body wash. But as it goes with mass and affordable products, it doesn’t satisfy the needs of those who prefer something natural or organic. So here’s one that is. Natural and organic I mean.

marius fabre olivia organic shower gel

Introducing Marius Fabre, a brand I warrant few of us have come across thus far. It is distributed locally by The Brand Story, alongside other niche brands and products, primarily in the bath and body department – a category I love to indulge in!

Marius Fabre is the name of the founder of the brand, who started up brewing potions and soaps in his garden shed in Salon-de-Provence at the tender age of 22, back in 1900.  Yes folks, 1900. This is a soap company that is over a century old! Their speciality are their solid soaps but I suppose we have to move with the times. Modern times call for shower gels, and Marius Fabre delivers in this one from the Olivia range – an Organic Relaxing Shower Gel with Bitter Orange Flower essential oils.

The first thing I noted was the packaging. The shower gel is packaged in an opaque bottle that looks very much like frosted glass, but is in fact, plastic! Now, as much as I like the use of glass in my skincare products, I opt for plastic every time for the shower. I had a glass jar of body scrub once. An accident in the shower left me with a lot of cleaning and a bloody foot. So, lesson learnt. No more glass thingamajics in the shower!

Make Cleopatra envious because the new Dove Body Wash nourishes better than a milk bath!

September 11, 2013 Paris B 34 Comments

You know what? Times are hard. As much as we want to enjoy our fancy schmancy shower gels, the fact is that fancy schmancy shower gels can cost a pretty penny. What I do now is reserve them for a special treat. For daily use, I’ve been using an affordable oldie but goodie – Dove Body Wash!

dove body wash nutrimmoisture

Well, ok this isn’t your regular Dove Body Wash, it is the new and improved Dove Body Wash containing something called NutrimMoisture™ which the folks at Dove says nourishes the skin even as it cleans. In fact, it claims to be even more nourishing to skin than bathing in milk! Cleopatra, eat your heart out! 😀

New! Crabtree & Evelyn Tarocco Orange, Eucalyptus & Sage collection gives you a zesty kickstart

March 29, 2013 Paris B 24 Comments

crabtree & evelyn tarocco orange eycalyptus sage collection

Have you ever eaten a blood orange? The first time I did, I did not know what it was. The orange pulp quite literally looks like a bloody pulpy mess. But it is SO. GOOD.

Well I just learnt recently that what I know as the “blood orange” is also known as “Tarocco Orange” and this forms the core of a brand new bath and body range from Crabtree & Evelyn. Launched just about a month ago, the Tarocco Orange, Eucalyptus & Sage collection (to give it its full name) gives the Crabtree & Evelyn brand a new zest for life. Quite literally.

This is only the second range with citrus notes from the brand, if I recall correctly. The first was Citron but I didn’t take to that one because it smelt rather like lemon scented dishwashing liquid on my hands. This Tarocco Orange one I can attest, does not smell like you just took a shower in orange cordial. Its not that sweet, yet it retains that zesty, citrus note that wakes you up in the morning and revitalizes your flagging spirits in the evening.

Have you taken a sniff at it yet? Its quite a large, comprehensive collection with a focus on Crabtree & Evelyn’s strengths, their bath and body collection.
