Gilchrist and soames body lotion review

I have been a fan of the London based Gilchrist & Soames since the 80’s but haven’t picked anything up from them lately so I was thrilled to get the BeeKind Body Lotion in my April Glossybox. I also got the shower gel too.

What’s to love?

First up Gilchrist & Soames products contain no products parabens, phthalates, petrol-derived ingredients, mineral oil, urea, DEA, TEA, DMDM hydantoin, or propylene glycol.

But I love this body lotion because it smells like limes! It actually has Fresh lemon verbena but to me it smells limey. They formula is amazing too. It’s non greasy and it absorbs quickly while leaving behind the amazing citrus scent. I could really smell this stuff all day!

I also have fond memories of getting Gilchrist & Soames when I was a teenager. For some reason it reminds me of Duran Duran…go figure! I probably picked up some of their soap with my girlfriends and Duran Duran was playing at the mall. It’s just one of those brands I get nostalgic for. Oh and that green bee is so cool too.

I appreciate the lotion but didn’t care for the scent, otherwise it was a decent product

This product was, again, terribly sized. The product was just okay and looked like a hotel sample. Not impressed...

Perfect summer fragrance

I love this lotion. If you love the smell of roses this lotion is the one for you. It smells like fresh picked flowers without being too heavy. That’s the best thing about this lotion- it smells gorgeous but it’s light. No overpowering flowery smell to this lotion! It’s perfect. And my skin felt so soft and hydrated. I highly recommended this lotion!

Smells Good!!!

I loved the smell of this lotion. It is thick so it was hard to get out of the package, wish it came with a pump or in a squishy packaging. Once I was applying the lotion, it was liquidy and it did dry up quickly and left my hands feeling so soft and smelling good.

I got this in my box and after opening it the smell was very strong and too floral for me also it felt a little to greasy. So I gifted it to a friend she ended up liking it.

Flowery lotion

Gilchrist & soames body lotion in English garden the fragrance wasn't to bad, was a more liquidy formula & takes a second to sink into your skin. Honestly I've used drugstore lotions that were better. But I am willing to try other products by this brand because sometimes 1 product can be better than another product from the same brand.

Loved the Scent

I honestly can't say this lotion is better/worse at hydrating than other products I use. But I LOVED the scent, and I do use lotions just for scent - so I'm sold!
