Well, of course my favorite company would come out with brand new products in the middle of my self imposed spending freeze. And not just any new products – body products! Taking care of my skin is a bit of a passion for me, which is not limited to just my face. Since I’m in love with Glossier, naturally I ordered these the day they were released. The Glossier Body Hero Duo is made up of the Daily Oil Wash, an oil cleanser for body and the Daily Perfecting Cream, a daily body moisturizer. I’ve only had the chance to use both of these products twice (of course I couldn’t wait til I used my current products up!), and here’s what I think of them so far:
It smells sooooo good! It’s a subtle sweet orange blossom scent, that’s really refreshing in the morning. The consistency is basically the same as the L’Occitane Almond Shower Oil, which I love and have written about in a previous post. I’ve used it directly on my body, the recommended method, which allows the formula to lather up when it mixes with water, and I’ve also used it on my shower loofah, which I think is my preference…. I’m not sure if the benefits to the skin are different using it that way, but it forces me to use way less product – this is coming from a shower gel over user – I go through shower gels so quickly!
The body cream has the same scent, which again, it’s so good! And it remains subtle enough that as the day goes on it eventually fades almost completely, which is good as I found it doesn’t over power or clash with any perfume I might decided to wear. It has light reflecting particles in it, which gives skin an immediate glow, but not in a weird glittery way like the Sol De Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum cream, which I could probably write another post about entirely. The Bum Bum cream is straight up glittery and that annoys me almost as much as its overpowering scent – it’s a good scent, but that’s all I can smell when I wear it….. I could even smell it on my sofa for a few days one time because I sat down too soon after applying it. Anyway, I digress…. back to the Daily Perfecting Cream. I would say it’s a medium weight cream that sinks in almost immediately, so getting your skinny jeans on after isn’t a problem. I’m not sure it’ll be hydrating enough for me going into the colder months, but for now in this transition to fall, it’s good – I wish I had it all summer – it’s probably perfect for the summer months. My current go to is usually a Body Shop Body Butter, especially in winter.
Both are 8.4 fl. oz. which I feel like is a pretty decent size. The packaging is super pretty and functional. And right now you can get them both, as a duo, for $35.00, which is 5 bucks less then if you bought them individually.
And that’s my hot take on the new Glossier body products. I really like them! You probably will too, and remember you can get 10% off your purchase with this code!
*As always, purchased with my own money….. that I’m not supposed to be spending on product.
