Body Sorbet Archives - New Love

July 2015 Favourites

Hi guys,

It’s been a long time that I did a favourites post and since I am doing YouTube videos now and was doing a July Favourites video, I thought of doing a post too along with.

Here are some of the products I have been loving a lot in July:

1. Kerastase Elixir Ultime Beautifying Oil Cream

It is so light in texture, lighter than the Kerastase Elixir Ultime Oil and you just need a pea sized amount of it. It controls most of my frizz and also gives the hair a nice shine. (Full Review HERE)

2. The Body Shop Satsuma Body Sorbet

This one I reviewed just yesterday, I had been using this a lot in summers too. I absolutely love the citrus burst and the light feel of it when I don’t want heavy, rich moisturizers on my body in this hot, humid climate. (Full Review HERE)

3. Za Perfect Fit Liquid Foundation

Again something water based and very light in texture. It lets your skin breathe and you won’t even realize you are wearing a foundation and still get even skin tone and light coverage, plus a nice illuminating finish. (Full Review HERE)

4. Maybelline The Colossal Liner

Maybelline HyperSharp liner was my all time favourite, untill Maybelline India launched the new Maybelline The Colossal Liner. I absolutely love the tip and how it gives a perfect winged line and precise control. I have been using only this since the past 2-3 months and sometimes gel liners when I have a little more time. (Full Review HERE)

5. Maybelline ColorShow Lipsticks

Maybelline’s new ColorShow Lipsticks are just perfect and a total value for money. At Rs.299/- for 3.9g and 32 shades ranging from pinks to reds to oranges and browns, these are apt for daily wear for office or college or just about anywhere. I love the shade Cherry Crush followed by Red Rush. Red Rush is the shade I am wearing here in the video. I am looking forward to try the shade Midnight Pink too. (Review and Swatches HERE)

6. Sudio Sweden Klang Earphones

And last but not the least, my new Sudio Sweden Klang white and gold earphones. I forgot to include them in the video, but these are something I have been hooked on to from the past 7-8 days and would be hooked on to for a long time to come 😀 These are absolutely fantastic, the sound quality is beyond amazing. Klang works best for iPhone (does work on my Android equally well) and has one cord longer than the other, and the longer one goes behind your neck for the stay-in-ear function. The cords are made of very good quality too and yes, these never get entangled ever 🙂

Guarantee Card, 4 sizes of pods and a clipper, Leather Case, Owner’s Manual

It comes with a guarantee card, leather case for storage, 4 different sizes of pods and a clipper. One can adjust the sound and mic with the three buttons on the cord. Sudio earphones are total value for money and come in a range of classy colors. I love this white and gold combination the most, followed by black.

The Body Shop Satsuma Body Sorbet Review

What the Company claims: Scoop an industry first with this cool body moisturiser, infused with zingy satsuma scent! Our breakthrough sorbet texture instantly melts into skin for a frosty burst of fresh moisture. Light and fast-absorbing,leaves body instantly moisturised upto 24 hours of hydration.

MRP: Rs.795/- for 200ml

How to use: Glide onto skin and enjoy the frosted moisture sensation all over your body. Insider’s tip: Put your Body Sorbet in the fridge for an even more refreshing moisture sensation

Variants available: Strawberry (Fruity), Satsuma (Citrusy), Moringa (Floral)

Ingredients:

The Body Shop launched their Body Sorbets in summers which is the apt season to launch this product. It is an industry first, i.e. no other brand has a product like ‘Body Sorbet’.

It comes in the long tube packaging with a flip cap and comes in this 200ml size only. It is slightly huge and not very travel friendly.

I have tried a lot of Strawberry products from The Body Shop and wanted to try some other variant. Moringa was not something I liked the smell of and so I went with Satsuma and I am glad! I absolutely love the citrus burst of Satsuma, it smells like ‘Fresh Orange Juice’.

I avoid heavy and rich moisturisers in summers as they make my skin feel more oily and sweaty, Body Sorbet was a savior in summers as it gave hydration was so light and refreshing that it got absorbed in a jiffy without any greasiness on the skin.

It is light peach in color and thick gel like in texture but very light and water based.

Also when it was scorching hot, I did keep it in the fridge as mentioned in the tip above, and it felt so awesome. Now since the summers have gone and it’s the monsoons, I don’t keep it in the fridge. I am still using it as in Mumbai as it is never cold and mostly summers here throughout the year except 2 months.

It is slightly on the expensive side of course as around 800 bucks is a lot for 200ml body moisturizer, but you don’t need a lot with this as it spreads well. And also it does not provide 24 hours hydration obviously. This will only work in summers and for someone with normal to oily skin.

Overall I would say, try this in summers or if you live in a hot,humid city. You will absolutely love this. I will not recommend it for people with very dry skin as this will not suffice the moisturisation your skin needs.
