New LUSH Vaniila Range



LUSH Cosmetics recently came out with a vanilla range. As seems to be the case with all new LUSH launches, this product was available in the UK long before it was available in North America. I wanted it so badly that I kept looking on the LUSH UK site and calculating pounds to dollars and trying to figure out, if British Royal Mail is so inexpensive, what's the drawback to using it?

They finally sent this stuff across the pond to the shops in North America. The Vanilla Delite lotion is lightweight and sinks in quickly, much like the discontinued Skin Sin did. It has a powdery, jasmine-y vanilla fragrance (not like a cupcake or anything you'd want to eat). The Vanilla Puff powder has a similar fragrance but much more faint. It feels less dry than their Coconut powder but less moisturizing and cocoa-buttery than Silky Underwear. The Vanillary solid perfume smelled good (more "edible" vanilla than the other items) but I didn't get it or the massage bar because I always seem to waste those products when I do buy them.
