New from TonyMoly, Plum Bum Hydrating Peptide Body Wash: "Breathe in the fresh, fruity aroma of a lush plum orchard, while the powerful peptide-infused formula works to boost elasticity, refine texture, and promote firmer, smoother skin." 400 ml for $17 at TonyMoly (and it's also at Ulta).
It’s rare that I even think about buying a new perfume these days — I have enough to last me and then some — but shower gels are another matter entirely. For one thing, even if I don’t end up loving them, and even if I have too many in my shower already, they will get used up before they spoil. Lush is a favorite, and they launch new products at a steady pace, so it’s not unusual for me to want, say, 4 or 5 or 6 of them at once. My trips to the mall are few and far between, though, and Lush products come and go relatively quickly, which explains why in a fit of panic I recently ordered 5 products unsniffed, lest they sell out before I get my hands on them.
Posh Chocolate Shower Gel was an obvious lemming, since I adore everything about the Posh Chocolate Body Wash except the packaging…
Pretty pretty please bring these across the pond? Shower gels from Lush, already out in the UK, in Cherry Pop ("Daydreaming of dates by the jukebox and smoochin’ over a soda pop or two? Then this colour changing, cherryade hit of nostalgia, might just be the one for you!"; it changes from green in the bottle to red in your hand) and Posh Chocolate ("Say it with chocolate. Gift a true feast for the senses to your loved one this Valentine's. Lather up in a marvellous meeting of rich, cleansing hazelnut milk and sweet cocoa powder, warm and comforting vanilla absolute, along with bundles of skin-hydrating glycerine"; the original in the tub is the greatest thing ever although I nearly always mix it with something else.) Both are in the usual 3 sizes, pretty sure both have been kitchen exclusives in the past, both are limited edition.
From Molton Brown, Coastal Cypress & Sea Fennel shower gel, in a limited edition Infinite (refillable) Bottle: "Dive into a more sustainable bathing ritual with our refillable shower gel bottle, featuring a Festive Limited Edition marbled design. In collaboration with marble artist, Natascha Maksimovic, this collector’s item brings to life our aromatic, land-meets-sea fragrance, swirling with vibrant azure shades." $58 for 400 ml, and also available in Fiery Pink Pepper (raspberry color) and Re-charge Black Pepper (brown).
From Lush, The Juice is Loose shower gel: "Turn on the shower and see what shakes loose with this limited-edition Beetlejuice Beetlejuice x Lush shower gel. Made with a refreshing juniper berry and sweet wild orange scent to make your millennium, plus softening carrageenan extract to help your skin feel downright revived." Despite that description, the reviews make it clear it smells like grape soda, so make your decision accordingly. Limited edition, in 3 sizes $12.50-40.
