Vanilla Pumpkin is this years autumn collection from The Body Shop. They say the collection is scented with quintessential pumpkin fragrance, vanilla from Madagascar, and hints of tonka bean, hazelnut, and maple syrup. I don't smell a lot of pumpkin, to me it smells like freshly baked homemade vanilla cookies with just a hint of spice.
In the collection you will find a body butter, a shower gel and a hand cream, I tested the first ones. The adorable packaging and design of the collection are inspired by the Dia de los Muertos, which is a Mexico holiday and means Day of the Death, that's why there is a skull on the products.
Vanilla Pumpkin Body Butter
The body butter comes in a round plastic packaging. These normally come in different sizes, but if I checked correctly, here in Slovenia you can just get the big 200ml packaging that costs 17,50€.
So far, I have tried two TBS body butters and both had quite a thick consistency, especially the Japanese Cherry Blossom, but this one has a lighter texture, it's creamy and buttery, but still rich enough. It just melts into the skin, sinks in fast but it still leaves a thin layer behind. It's not greasy but it lasts a couple of hours. I use it at night and even in the morning my skin is still feeling and looking nourished. The scent also lingers for a couple of hours on my skin.
Vanilla Pumpkin Shower Gel
This is the first ever shower gel I have tried from TBS and I have to say that I love it. I like the packaging, it's plastic and quite simple but still very nice and sleek. It contains 250ml of product and costs 6,50€.
The consistency of the shower gel is thick and creamy, much thicker than the regular shower gels from Balea, Afrodita, Avon... Because it's so thick it doesn't run through my fingers in the shower and I don't end up with half of the product on the shower floor. The scent is stronger and a tad spicier than by the body butter but sadly, it doesn't last on me, it fades away quickly.
With every use, I love the scent of the Vanilla Pumpkin collection more, the scent is just so yummy. I like both of the products, the body butter a bit more, it has a lighter texture than the spring edition, but it's still rich enough for the cold autumn days. The shower gel has a perfect consistency, I would just like the scent to last a little longer.
In Slovenia, you can order these or any other TBS products on their website or buy them in a physical store in Ljubljana. If you haven't heard yet, they are actually opening a store in Maribor as well, so I can finally go and try some products.
Thank you for reading!
