The Body Shop Vanilla Brulee Shower Gel is actually a thick
shower cream. Its not as thick as the Cocoa Butter Shower Cream, but its
thicker than the Brazil Nut Shower cream, both of which I had tried last
year. I love creamy shower gels during winter time but I would never spend as
much on one. My sister however, had no qualms splurging on this bottle as its “limited edition” & “Christmas special”, although we both
know that TBS offers almost the same flavors every Christmas – no innovation here ladies!
I have been using it for a month and I must say, The Body
Shop Vanilla Brulee Shower Gel smells delicious when you smell it from the
bottle or take it out on your palm. However, when its in use, the smell is
quite faint. Needless to say, after bath the scent is not detectable. It feels
moisturizing but doesn’t actually hydrate my body, although that maybe because
my skin is too dry. It has SLS, right there, as the second ingredient but
there’s barely any lather when its in use. For something that’s limited edition and 1.5 times the price
of the normal shower gels, I expected the ingredient list to be littered with
less chemicals…oh well, wishful thinking! They also mention that its soap free on the bottle, but clearly its not detergent free..haha.
Price: Rs. 595/~ $9.7( Currently available on offers)
Qty: 250 ml
Shelf Life: 12 months
Vegan
Overall Verdict: 3/5
The Vanilla Brulee Shower Gel is definitely a luxury buy
because it is not different from any other TBS shower gels that I have tried. I
do like it, but I would recommend you buy it if you get it at a discount.
