The Beauty Cupboard – Body Products Pt 1

As with my previous posts on makeup and skincare, these are a few of my favourite body products that I try to keep in constant supply in my beauty cupboard…

MOR Marshmallow Body Creme

I first started using this luscious creme when it came in a sweet little pink tub with a white lid. MOR have since upped the ante, and the creme now comes in a gorgeous black tub with a gold lid packaged in a beautiful rose print embossed box. Once you get past the beautiful looks and are able to dig into the actual product, it is divine. A luxe, rich cream that takes it’s time to sink in to your skin, but when it does you are left feeling moisturised and silky smooth. The smell is beautiful, sweet and marshmallowy (is that a word?) and a hint of the fragrance lingers all day long. I used to keep this as a “special occasions” body creme, but I’ve been using practically it every day since buying my new tub!

La Source Hand Therapy

This is hands down (hehe, get it?) my favourite hand cream. Rich and heavily moisturising without being too greasy, I have a tube of this sitting on my desk at work and use it a few times a day. It has quite a strong smell, but it is such a fresh fragrance that it is not too overpowering.

Shu Uemura Pleasure of Japanese Bath Sakura

I will go out on a limb and say that this is the best smelling bath product that I have ever used. After reading that Liv Tyler was a fan, I was curious and tried to hunt down a place to buy the bath oils in Australia. No such luck unfortunately, but I managed to order myself two bottles while I was holidaying in the US this year and I am attempting to make them last as long as possible! A capful of the oil turns your bathwater into a deliciously sweet smelling milky moisturising experience. The perfect product to use if you’re wanting a long, relaxing bath where you can drift away and daydream of Japanese cherry blossoms. So divine!

What beauty products do you love and repurchase time and time again?
