One
of my favourite things when it comes to these colder months is not boots or
knits but it is actually smelling like vanilla and having my house smell of
vanilla.
Even
though this Autumn in Melbourne is off to a hot start and is not cold at all, I
have already started to stock up on Vanilla products.
I
will name a few of my favourites below and why they are my favourites and must
haves.
MUST HAVES
Organix Vanilla
Silk Shampoo and Conditioner- $15.99 each
Indulge your
senses with this exclusive blend of smoothing Tahitian vanilla bean oils to
instantly nourish and moisturise, while silk amino proteins strengthen and seal
your hair’s cuticles, revitalising your hair, creating silky, smooth shiny
hair. Smoothing Tahitian vanilla bean oils blended with exotic silk amino
proteins create a decadent treat. All you need for soft, smooth and seductive
hair in one irresistible formula.
The Organix Vanilla Silk keep my
locks soft and silky while leaving my hair smelling like amazing Tahitian
Vanilla, which is a deep rich vanilla smell. My locks love Orgainx for some reason, they just gain so much volume and shine. I have been complimented a bit when using this.
Hello Kitty’s
Vanilla Ice cream Perfume Body Mist- $4.99 each
Adding an
irresistibly sweet to your everyday, this ‘oh-so’ adorable fragrance infuses
the senses with a burst of creamy vanilla goodness that will leave you smelling
like you have been swimming in Vanilla Ice cream all day.
This actually
keeps my daughter Hayley smelling like Vanilla. When this arrived in the mail I
had no say on the spray what so ever, she claimed it the instant she laid eyes
on it. Which I don’t mind as it makes her smell good enough to eat, and she
does let me use it when I want to. It is a very creamy sort of vanilla smell,
which I find very yummy.
The Body Shop
Madagascan Vanilla Flower Collection
LAYER YOUR FAVOURITE
FRAGRANCE WITH THESE OTHER SCENTED BODY PRODUCTS TO IMMERSE YOURSELF IN HEAVENLY
SCENT. EACH SCENTS OF THE WORLD FRAGRANCE IS AVAILABLE IN EAU DE TOILETTE,
FRAGRANCE MIST, PERFUME OIL, BODY LOTION AND SHOWER GEL.
Off the coast of
Africa, the fragrance of Madagascan Vanilla Flower travels on a warm, African
breeze. An oriental, gourmand delight with notes of amber, frangipani and
vanilla from Madagascar
Fragrance mist-
$25.95 for 100mL’s
A light
spritz of fragrance to refresh and invigorate.
I really love spraying this all
on my skin as soon as I jump out of the shower and get dressed. I find it you
spray it directly on you skin the smell tends to last longer and linger. But I
also spray a little on my clothes once I am dressed to really get the true
smell of this product. I can’t explain the smell of the Type of vanilla really
but one thing I can tell you is it is amazing and has the undertones of
original vanilla, but top notes of something mysterious and very delicious.
Shower Gel- $20.95
for 250mL’s
A refreshing
soap-free body wash infused with scent. Moisturises with Community Fair Trade
honey from Ethiopia.
I only need a little bit of this on
my shower sponge and it bubbles up into many suds and cleans my entire
body. The shower gel really gets down
into my pores and cleans out the dirt leaving my skin looking new and refreshed.
Not only does it leave my skin looking good it also leaves it smelling edible
and exotic.
Perfume oil-
$19.95 for 15 mL’s
A concentrated
perfume oil to dab onto neck and pulse points.
This product ties in all the other
products I use and really makes the scent of the Madagascan Vanilla flower last
the day and even night through. I will wake up in the morning and still be able
to smell the Vanilla scent on the points I put them on. I just dab the tiniest
of amounts onto my wrist and neck and that is all I need, four tiny dots!! You
could easily use this product all by itself and have it work a treat and keep
you smelling divine.
Kiehl’s VANILLA & CEDARWOOD SKIN-SOFTENING BODY LOTION- $38.00 for 250mL’s
Kiehl's
Fragrance Expert Mr. Suffit describes this fragrance blend, “The Vanilla &
Cedarwood scent is a delicate balance of yin & yang, one part feminine from
the Ugandan Vanilla, smooth, smoky and just slightly sweet; one part masculine
from the Virginia Cedarwood, raw and earthy. Together they blend to form a
fragrance that is dynamically simple and irresistibly universal
When I first heard of this combo I thought it just
couldn’t work how could you put a smell so soft and delicate with a really
strong potent kind of scent? Well I would have to speak to the scientists
themselves to get this answer. But it truly does work and it smells divine and
really yummy. You can smell the vanilla but to me it is more of an undertone
and really does pipe down and sweeten the scent of the Cedarwood. When I apply
this lotion to my body it does stay on my skin for the entire day keeping it
really soft and hydrated as well as smelling like something I have never smelt
before. I will be working on getting the entire set of Vanilla and Cedarwood in
my bathroom.
MOR Emporium Black
Triple-Milled Soap- $19.95
Unwrap a remnant of
17th century decadence and indulge in the Emporium triple-Milled Soap Bar
collection. these Vegetable Based triple-Milled Soaps provide a creamier more
luxuriant lather while Vitamin E and Shea Butter moisturises and keeps your
skin supple.
This is my last must have for
the time being but I am sure you will see a lot more Vanilla products in the
coming months. I am not usually the one to use a bar of soap, as I hate
dropping it and how slippery they become and just don’t find it comfortable
rubbing on my body only to know it has been rubbed on someone else’s before
me. But after I actually smelt this
product I was blown away, it is such a deep sweet vanilla scent that softens up
the skin leaving behind this sweet smell.
And well that is a wrap, until
next time anyway. I will be posting about a lot of these products more in depth
and in their very own reviews. But it is bye for now.
