Lush.a.Lot’s Review: Skinny Dip in buttercream form, sort of. While it doesn’t begin to have the creamy goodness and originality of it’s predecessor shower gel, Skinny Dip buttercream is a nice, medium consistency and smells of that clove and white chocolate aroma of Skinny Dip. And while I give Skinny Dip buttercream three stars, It’s not the same Lush as the “Skinny Dip” original body conditioning gel, it’s just not the same.

Lush 2006 description: As a shower gel Skinny Dip was one of those products which people loved or hated; now that it has metamorphosed into a Butter Cream we hope that even more people will love it (the ones who didn’t like having to shake the bottle to mix up the cocoa butter, for example). Now, Lush’s gorgeous, violet and clove scented shower extravagance comes in solid form with softening cocoa butter, soothing aloe vera and our ever popular infusion of creamed coconut. Washing your body with Skinny Dip Butter Cream feels like a soothing massage with relaxing tropical oils.

Butter Creams
Creamy Cakes of Glycerine Soap made in huge buckets and hand-rolled in petals, chocolate, cocoa butter and other unexpected ‘packaging’, our butter creams look like huge helpings of luxury dessert. At room temperature they start out smooth, soft and slippery, but if you’re the sensation-seeking type you can choose to chill or freeze them to turn them into blocks of invigoratingly refreshing shower soap. Butter Creams are a luxurious blend of 15% soap – enough to get you clean but not make masses of non-essential lather – and 85% natural, skin softening oils and butters, glycerine, plant infusions and essential oils. Use them for summery soft skin.

Heavenly Bodies

Here’s a video where i demo and review the heavenly bodies buttercream. 

 

Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Glycerine, Rhassoul Mud, Jojoba Oil (Simmondsia chinensis), Cocoa Butter (Theobroma cacao), Perfume, Tangerine Oil (Citrus reticulata), Sweet Orange Oil (Citrus dulcis), Vanilla Absolute (Vanilla planifolia), Cocoa Butter (Theobroma cacao), Sodium Chloride, EDTA, Tetrasodium Editronate, *Limonene
*Occurs naturally in essential oils
Size: 7.0 oz $14.40 Heavenly Bodies – 3.5 oz $7.20

Ohhh, there’s nothing better than smearing your favorite foody combo (orange and chocolate) all over yourself in the bath, and having it be less drying than soap. I love the Sonic Death Monkey scent of this Heavenly Bodies buttercream. I do believe this choclate dipped orange scent is my favorite.

Lush description: Want a body like an angel? Got a body like a zombie? Revive your skin with a muddy mixture of chocolate, cocoa butter, refreshing orange juice, anti-microbial Rhassoul mud and stimulating tangerine oils. We scent each chunk of Heavenly Bodies Butter Cream with vanilla absolute, cocoa absolute (yes, you really can get natural chocolate perfume), tangerine and sweet orange so it smells rather like a chocolate orange cheesecake but it does taste like soap so when you put it in the fridge please don’t put it right next to the edible creamy temptations. We would hate it to be wasted. For the best effect smooth it all over the outside of your body. You’ll smell like an angel and your skin will feel as soft as gossamer.

This one surprised me at how yummy, strong and wonderful this lemony buttercream is. I have dry skin so even though the smell is wonderful it dries my skin a bit more than the others, probably because it’s made for oilier skin. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like the scent.

Lush 2006 description: If you have oily skin with a tendency to go spotty then grab a slice or two of this and start washing all over on a daily basis. Fresh lemon juice is a beautiful cleanser with anti-microbial properties and it has a stimulating effect on the skin too. Irish Moss isn’t what it sounds like; it’s a skin-softening seaweed packed with minerals to get the best out of skin in need of a full service. Softening cocoa and coconut butters make sure that even with all this deep cleansing going on, you’re going to feel smooth and soft as you step out of the shower.
