Advantages: Sweet scent and appeals to all ages

Disadvantages: Leaves your bathroom floor covered in powder

One of the reasons for Lush's success is their ability to create products that appeal to all age ranges, and this product is certainly one of those. To begin with I was a bit dubious about trying the 'Vanilla Puff Dusting Powder' (£6.50) as my opinion of dusting powder was that it is old fashioned, out dated and something for old women. However, my love for the other products in Lush's vanilla range and an enthusiastic persuasive shop assistant encouraged me to give the product a try - and I have bought it 3 times since and never looked back!

The scent is heavenly and lasts all day without being as powerful as the other vanilla products, but if you really want to indulge in vanilla heaven my top tip would be to combine it with the other products. If I've had a stressful day and need to rewind I love a long candlelit bath, then either liberally applying the 'Heavenilli Massage Bar' (£4.95) or the Vanilla Dee-Lite moisturiser (£10.50) leaving it to soak in for a min and then covering myself in this dusting powder, before putting on a snugly dressing gown. The effect truly is heaven not just you but your bathroom/bedroom will smell of sweet soft soothing vanilla.

Alternatively when applied alone it will leave your skin feel silky smooth. To apply it is easy, if a little messy; the twisty holed top means that you can monitor the flow of power as you pour it over your body, however even when first pouring into your hands your bathroom floor inevitably ends up covered too. Despite this and my liberal use one tub last ages and almost feels endless, which slightly justifies its expensive price tag (£6.50). It is Lush's most experience Dusting Powder, the other 4 are £5.86, but in my opinion it by far the silkiest and sweetest scented in the range.

I have also recommended this product to my mum (52) and my grandma (a proud octogenarian) and both our loving it. My grandma feels it leaves her feeling silky and young whilst my mum uses it for special treats, demonstrating Lush's ability to please a wide range of ages.
Lush comments on their website that vanilla absolute has a soft, creamy scent that most people will find relaxing - and I have to agree!

Summary: It will truly change your opinion of talc/dusting powders!
