[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] Mr BBB and I once held a party at which we made lychee cocktails – I’ve honestly never seen so many people so smashed all at once! They were just too delicious and even now, if there’s a cocktail on the menu with lychee (also a bit weak for melon) in it, I’ll take it straight away :-). There’s nothing so dangerous about The Body Shop’s new Luscious Lychee range – I’m instantly sold although for preference (if only they’d asked 😉 I would have preferred it even more lychee-ish.
I like the fact that the shower product is a cream rather than a gel although I think I would more describe it as a gel-cream but it’s actually done a pretty good job at being the same colour as an actual lychee – a sort of pink opal kind of hue.
The body butter is nicely whippy which is better for summer legs I think and gives off a juicy, fruity scent with a lychee accent. As ever, there is a Fair Trade element – aloe vera is sourced from Mexico supporting female farmers.
The Luscious Lychee Body Scrub would be my top buy – it’s exactly the right side of scrubby with fine grains and as you work it around your body the fragrance rises and hits your senses so you get the full hit. Delicious! I’ve noticed that the fragrance isn’t instantly gone with this – it lingers a little and now and again you get another (diluted) waft. It’s a bit pricy at £18 HERE but if you’re a lychee lover, worth the treat. The shower cream starts at £7 HERE, and the thing I forgot to mention (Dora brain!) is that there is sheet type cooling lychee eye mask for £6 HERE. I haven’t tried them yet but the blurb says ‘-1C Cooling Effect’ and that sounds very cool! Might shove one on my chest! In fact, why isn’t there one for the whole hot body?

Was this the Nigella Lawson lychee martinis by any chance? I had three of them one evening and became Oliver Reed levels of mess
It might have been – it was a long time ago – but the mess sounds familiar :-))))
I am not crazy about the fruit but I kind of think this body shower lotion would be lovely!
I am going to look and see if we have that “flavour” here too !! lol
I’m not a fruity beauty fan but I like it! I’d rather have a real lychee but a) they cost a fortune and b) are hard to find :-))
Hello Jane, remember when a tipsy Kim Wilde went viral for singing in the Tube? Apparently lychee cocktails were to blame 😀 (I’m a lifelong fan of hers and she’s still rocking on her current Greatest Hits tour)
I sniffed these products the other day and while I expected to prefer the Lemon version, I thought the Lychee was the winner 🙂
Speaking of fruit, do you think you could persuade some of your fruity model friends to make a comeback? 🙂
Ohh it’s been a while hasn’t it! Yes I will definitely find a suitable model soon 🙂 I’ve got a lychee cocktail (the Body Shop sent it) in the fridge and have been waiting til Friday to have it :-))
