Valentine’s Day - Perfect Day After Make-Up Gift

February 16th, 2012

Forgot to get your honey something special on V-Day?

Well, this is definitely not an easy fix.

Still, you can pamper your sweetheart with 1000 Kisses (LUSH Gorilla Perfume) or even A Million Kisses (LUSH Lip Tint) as part of your make-up plan.

We selected these two very special gifts not just because of the sentiment but also because of the scent.  They are truly Romance Bottled Up.

1000 Kisses is a “rich and resin filled fragrance that conveys the emotions felt when truly in love.” It’s meant to replicate that butterflies in the stomach feeling.  In LUSH’s words, “this perfume encompasses that powerful rush of emotion that we call love.”

It was named after Madeleine Peyroux’s rendition of the Leonard Cohen song and was created in honour of the lasting love the inventor shares with his wife.

Citrusy, full of deep resins and osmanthus blossoms, this is a very special scent.

If you think 1000 Kisses won’t be enough, then A Million Kisses will be necessary.

This rosy hued lip blam paints your pucker a just-bidden red, perfect for Valentine’s Day.  Featuring rose hip and jojoba, your lips will “taste of zesty lemons, sweet icing sugar and fragrant roses.”  There is even a hint of blue in this concoction, making your smile appear even whiter, similar to MAC Cosmetic’s favourite blue Dazzleglass.

With so many kisses in order, you should at least get your Valentine to calm down and forgive you for forgetting such a special day … and will probably get yourself a kiss or two in the mix.

The Body Shop goes Chocolate …

Chocomania Collection

Chocomania Collection

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, The Body Shop has come up with possibly their most ingenious product line yet:  Chocomania.

This decadent range of sensuous bath and body products include a Body Scrub, Shower Cream, Soap, Body Lotion and Body Butter.

A personal favourite was the heart-shaped soap which smelled divine. A creamy soap, it gave a rich lather, exfoliated and leaves the skin chocolate-scented.

Another divine luxury is the Chocomania Lip Butter which melts onto the lips like a chocolate bar, instantly hydrates, contains real cocoa butter and best of all has a delicious chocolate flavor.  It’s truly a guilt-free pleasure!

This body butter is also a milestone for The Body Shop in that it contains 13 Community Fair Trade ingredients – the most The Body Shop has ever put into one product.

The lotions, body scrubs and shower cream are all perfect complementary products and this is without a doubt one of the best bath and body lines out right now.

Truly a must-have for chocolate lovers.
