The Sticky Dates Body Lotion is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2024 Easter line. I was lucky enough to get to try it before its official release date as Lush kindly sent me a bottle.
No matter the product format, any item that comes out in Lush’s Sticky Dates scent-family seems to always sell well. Another item from this year’s Easter line that shares the body lotions scent is the Sticky Dates sugar scrub.
My first experience with the Sticky Dates fragrance was through the Sticky Dates shower gel. I have also enjoyed the Sticky Dates co-mingle body scrub and Sticky Dates body spray too. It’s a scent that I fell in love with upon first sniff and one I am always happy to see be recreated into a new Lush product!
Most Lush body lotions come in Lush’s stand-out black pots; However, the Sticky Dates body lotion comes in a bottle. You can get it in either a 100g bottle or a 250g bottle.
Before I had a bottle of it in my possession, I imagined that the fact it was sold in bottles and not pots could have been because it was a slightly runnier consistency. I was wrong, it is not at all runny and is in fact super thick and creamy.
The main ingredients of the Sticky Dates body lotion are, sunflower oil, vanilla pod decoction, organic jojoba oil, glycerine, fair trade organic cocoa butter, organic illipe butter, carob resinoid, benzoin resinoid and sandalwood oil. The glycerine is the magic ingredient that helps lock in all the moisturising ingredients into your skin.
The Sticky Dates scent is best described as mouth-wateringly delicious. It smells like a hot and gooey sticky toffee pudding with a generous scoop or two of refreshing, vanilla ice cream. The ingredients in common with the shower gel equivalent are the vanilla, sunflower, sandalwood oils and both carob and benzoin resinoids.
Even though the Sticky Dates body lotion is quite thick, it’s incredibly easy to get out of the bottle.
A very small amount of it goes a long way; although, I wouldn’t blame you for overindulging with it as it smells so good! Another thing that surprised me about the Sticky Dates body lotion was how quickly it melted into your skin.
Some body lotions can leave you feeling a little greasy, but I’m pleased to report that the Sticky Dates body lotion doesn’t leave your skin feeling sticky, clammy, or over moisturised at all.
A small amount of rubbing the lotion in ensures that it sinks into your skin leaving it hydrated in all the good ways, all while leaving it appearing brighter and feeling soft and perfectly refreshed too.
As I said earlier, a small amount of the lotion goes a very long way making it incredibly cost effective. My favourite thing about this lotion is how long its scent lingers on your skin. It lasts ALL DAY, that and how it leaves my skin plump and bright through to the next day is what makes it a standout body lotion. I can’t wait to see what Sticky Dates product Lush releases next!
