Smells Divine

If there's one thing I'm a sucker for, its gorgeous smelling body lotions. This one has me sooo sucked in! its sooo divine! To me its sort of a warm floral/woody scent. And its strong. Its also great value for $16 for a 400ml pump bottle, which has so far lasted me 3 months, I still have 1/4 left. I have also been using this on my hands for a little indulgence and find myself walking around smelling my hands lol.

Moisturising properties...... well, to be perfectly honest, Its not super thick, nor is it runny, but it does have a nice smooth consistency. It was great throughout the heat of summer, but now that its cooling I've found I've had to use another thicker lotion to keep some areas on my body from drying out. So unfortunately I had to take a point off for that, which makes me a little sad because I love the smell so much lol.

So if you have super dry skin on your body, especially in cooler months, I wouldn't recommend this as your only product. But gosh it smells good! But I guess overall this is meant as a moisturiser not a perfume.

Thanks for the detailed description. I have had my eyes on this brand for awhile as a cheap but natural brand, particularly the lotion, since it was cheap and had good ingredients. Sounds like I'll be owning a bottle towards summer.

Brilliant review! I nearly bough this the other day but I stuck to vaseline for fear of disappointment. I wish I'd gotten it now. Next time for sure. Thanks for the details, I tend to use coconut oil anyway, so that's perfect :)

they have just released a body oil, I'm not sure if its in the shop yet but shouldn't be far, I think I might try it out for winter, might be better for dryer skin :)

great review, I've been so badly wanting to try this but as I have dry skin I think I will wait till the summer- although I'm very tempted to get the trial pack

Yummy Body Lotion

I really like this body lotion. It smells divine with a lovely floral scent and I really look forward to putting it on so I can get the scent on me. The texture is not too runny and not too thick and rubs in nicely to my skin. I have mainly been using it on my hands and they have been noticeably softer and smoother since I started putting this body lotion on them. I am really impressed with this whole range of products and think I can safely say that they have me hooked!

Great value for money!

I bought this product by chance at a supermarket and I am so glad I did! It is such great value for money with the amount of product you get. I've been using it for my hands and they were noticeably softer after a weeks use! And the lotion smells amazing, with the push pump its so easy to touch up the moisture on my hands while at my desk. Would definitely purchase this moisturiser again!

So Girly!

This is probably the most girliest Body Lotion ever! Not did it keep my skin soft and moisturized it also made me feel very feminine and sexy.

Like it says in the name it gives you some intensive hydration! This is sucha good body lotion for super dry skin or if you have dry patches, it will smoothen them out to match the rest of your skin.

I wish I could use it every day but it just too intensive and my skin just gets too much of it that it doesn't soak it up!

When it comes to scares etc, I did not notice much difference, never have with rose-hip but i just adore the scent so much so I really don't mind.

Tips: Good to have it in your emergency skin care kit for those really dry days!

I think just having the word "rose" in the name makes it extra feminine!

Why did it take me so long to buy this!?

I saw this in count down ages ago, but decided to get a cheaper (and now I see, far inferior!) body lotion, despite really, really wanting to try this! I'm so glad i finally bought it. I had a wee beauty product splurge the other day and this was one of the things I picked up after reading the BR reviews, and I'm not going to use anything else. It's a big 400 ml bottle so for the price, it's actually really generous. The formula is beautiful! it's super softening (my boyfriend touched my legs and made a comment about how silky and smooth my legs were), but not greasy at all, it just sinks in, and it smells absolutely GORGEOUS! I can't quite pick the smell. It's sweet, but has an almost smokey/spicey kind of quality? I LOVE it! I actually just put it on my hands before writing this and I can smell it right now (also, my hands feel beautifully silky). i honestly love this body lotion. I used to rave about the body shop's lotions, but this is much better. It's more nourishing, yet lighter and it sinks in better, it also smells a lot nicer. Less generic, if that makes sense. I'm a fan. Also, no mucking around with squeezy bottles! This is a nice big pump bottle so there's no mess, and it actually looks very cute in it's brown bottle with pink label. I am a convert! So, to wrap: No greasiness, no irritation (it's not pumped full with mineral oils and other gunk! yay!), no sickly or synthetic smelling scent, no stickiness afterwards, nothing nasty! Just smooth, soft, super hydrated, happy skin with a beautiful, soft fragrance.

Tips: Go to countdown, buy this lotion! Trust me, $16 for this is NOT EXPENSIVE!

*Note: the Aveeno is also A-MA-ZING. But this sounds so yummy.

This review makes me want this product. I had to choose between it and the Aveeno Skin Relief earlier in the week and chose Aveeno because my skin has been so so so dry & irritated. But you've convinced me I have to try this next!

I have yet to try the Body Shop but I like how compared how it matches up because I know the Body Shop has really good scented lotions but rather pricey. Thanks for the review. I so want to get this body lotion.

Essano Rosehip Intensive Hydrating Body Lotion

I have been using this for a little over a month and I'm not that enthused about it. The use of all the oils and being a NZ made product attracted me and I was so excited about using this product. I felt this product wasn't as moisturising on me as I had hoped. I found it quite drying. I've now started to mix this with a couple drops of Argan Oil to really get that moisturised feeling. The scent is heavenly! Since this is a NZ made product, I will continue buying this however, I'll continue to mix this with my essential oils.

Tips: Support NZ made!

Beautiful.

Thanks to the lovely ladies on the BR forum, I HAD to try this range. I purchased this as a part of a kit from Countdown.

This is a really gorgeous moisturiser. It smells lovely (kind of earthy with a subtle rose scent). I have been using this on my chest and neck area (I use coconut oil on my arms and legs), and my skin looks bright and feels supple and super, super soft.

I really feel like I don't need to try any other moisturiser - as my skin absolutely adores this.

This is easy to blend into your skin and it doesn't leave an unpleasant residue after applying. The scent is subtle and I haven't had any irritation due to this.

I will absolutely repurchase this and I have been recommending it to all of my friends.

Tips: If you haven't tried this range before I recommend going to the supermarket and getting their 'starter kit'. It has 4 different products in it that are a fantastic introduction to the range, and it's really affordable.

Amazing scent but not strong enough for me.

I have used other Essano products before and really liked them, but this one just didn't quite tick all the boxes for me.

The scent is amazing and the formula has a great consistency. It was easily absorbed and not too greasy.

I wanted to like it a lot more than I did (especially because it smelt so good!), but it just didn't seem to moisturise quite as well as I needed it to. As a disclaimer, I have very dry problematic skin and I think I am just suited to a much heavier product. It did not irritate my sensitive skin though.

I think this would be a lot better suited as a general moisturiser to someone with skin a lot less demanding than mine.

Heaven in a Bottle

My colleague brought this for me for my birthday this year. It is absolutely divine!!! It leaves skin so smooth and the scent is beautiful. It was a very pleasant surprise! And the fact that it is organic... how awesome! Would totally recommend trying this if you haven't already.

Delightly beautiful <3

I was skeptical to try this product as I did not love the face wash, however I love to support New Zealand business so really wanted to give the essano brand a second chance.

As with the face wash I absolutely love love love the packaging. Beautiful brown bottles with rose coloured labels and pumps, I mean who doesn't love pumps on their cosmetic products (as long as you can close to take away).

The first thing upon trying this lotion was the smell, divine! Think pretty talc crossed with rose petals with an undertone of Musk/wood (I have never tried any other Rosehip products so this may be the Rosehip smell?!).

The consistency of this lotion is really lovely. Light and easy to manipulate over your skin, quick absorbing, not greasy and leaves your skin feeling hydrated and smooth. The hydration seems to last well into the day so you do not get that dry skin look and need to reapply (halfway through the day).

This body lotion is also paraben, sulfate, phthalates, colours & petrochemical (whatever that is) free so I would imagine it would also be great on sensitive skin.

This is now my body lotion of choice! Thanks essano for being Kiwi and amazing.

Tips: The smell is quite strong so I do not feel I need to wear perfume everyday and simply use this as body lotion/fragrance
