Victoria's Secret Perfect Body Collection

Keeping your body soft, supple, and sweet-smelling is a glamour must, which is why we love trying out new body lotion and body wash launches here at Glam Obsessions. One of Victoria's Secret's latest launches is the Perfect Body Collection. From the collection, we've tried out the Twice as Fresh Silkening Body Wash with Coconut Oil, and the Drink It In Moisturizing Body Lotion with Sweet Almond Oil. Based on our trials, we have given the body wash a rating of 4/10, and the body lotion a rating of 8/10. Keep reading to find out why!

This body wash is slightly different from regular shower gels because you need to shake the bottle to mix the coconut oil (the white part at the top) with the soap, and then you pour the mixture out onto your hand/sponge. The soap smells fresh and sweet, and it moisturizes your skin more than other body soaps since it has actual oil in it, however, it does not foam. Also, you may have to use the soap several times during one shower; since the soap doesn't foam, it  finishes quickly while you're using it (after four uses, my bottle is already half empty). Since we personally prefer foaming bath soaps, and this bottle finishes too quickly, we are disappointed by this product and we do not recommend it if you're currently looking for a body wash. Rating: 4/10

Don't give up on the entire Perfect Body Collection just yet, though! The body lotion is great. It's texture is perfect for normal skin: not too thick, so its easy to spread, and not too watery, so it actually moisturizes. The scent is romantic and sweet, but also fresh and not too heavy. Its moisturizing effects last a day (24 hours), so you need to reapply it every night on the areas you want to moisturize. We love it and would definitely recommend it! However, this product would not be the best option for very dry skin or dry feet (for that, you would need a thicker cream or a body butter - we will be blogging about our favorites in a seperate post) since it is not too thick. This lotion works best on normal skin. Also, the scent does not last too long, and is gone after approximately 1-2 hours of applying the lotion. Rating: 8/10

 

The entire Perfect Body Collection is now available at Victoria's Secret shops across the UAE. The body lotion and wash are priced at AED 80 ($22) each.
