Okay, so how clever was that Dove Real Beauty sketch ad campaign I tweeted about a while back? It’s gotten so many millions and zillions of hit that I probably don’t need to slap it up again over here but if you haven’t watched this you have to check it out.

Awesome, right?
Anyway, Dove’s ad savvy clearly extends to their press packs as I was sent this multi-layered li’l gem the other day:

Once my pass the parcel session was over, I discovered three of Dove’s new Nourishment body lotions.

I recently wrote about Intensive Nourishment, the one for very dry skin, as I was impressed with it and you can read my review over here.
I really liked that they’ve created something so fabulously hydrating but it’s not a thick, gooey body butter. The light, lotion formula literally glides on like a dream and sinks into your skin in a flash.
Anyway, I’ve tried the two new boys that showed up, but I’m still a fan of the Intensive variant. Weirdly, it has more ‘slip’ and absorbs faster than the ‘regular’ Essential option. Shea’s lovely too in terms of slip and absorbtion, but it’s got a slight cocoa butter scent of which I’m not a fan. Of course I’m in the minority here; there a million girls who adore the caramel-like scent of cocoa butter and if that’s you I know this baby’s going to be a firm favourite.
If you see Dove’s new lotions in store, do yourself a favour and check them out.
Love, love

UPDATE: Oh wow! I’ve just looked at the press release and see they’re offering a gradual self-tanner option too; Dove Summer Glow nourishing lotion. Now this is something I’d love to try.
Just found your blog and love it! The new Dove lotions look great – I recently received a little sample of the Body Milk one in my Rubybox and have been obsessed with it! I think I’ll go get the Gradual Self-Tanner one especially since it’s Winter now.

Ag dankie man. Ja, I’m dying to try the new gradual tan. The last el cheapo one I tried was a J&J one (back in the day) and I hated the way it made all these little bolletjies on my skin. Keen to see what Dove’s is like.
