Advantages: Spa-like without setting foot outside your house

Disadvantages: Pricey

*Introduction*

Sanctuary Bidadari Shimmering Body Soufflé was given to my mum as a gift for her birthday. Unfortunately for her and luckily for me, she didn't like the product as it caused a slight rash on her skin. I welcome all Sanctuary products with open arms so when she gave the to me I thought "Get in!"

*The Claim*

Sanctuary Bidadari Shimmering Body Soufflé creates a nourishing experience that leaves your skin exotically fragrant, wonderfully smooth and softly gleaming.

*About The Product and What It Contains*

Sanctuary Bidadari Shimmering Body Soufflé is a lusciously rich shimmering soufflé which adds delicate Jasmine, sensual Ylang Ylang to moisturising yoghurt and skin brightening Turmeric.

Jasmine extract in the soufflé helps to soothe and relax.
Ylang ylang has sensual qualities and is known to have skin soothing an calming benefits.
Yoghurt soothes and moisturises.

*Application*

When applying this product, scoop a generous quantity from the jar. You don't need a massive amount but in order to reap the benefits I always use a fair amount. Massage the soufflé firmly onto clean skin. Make sure that you do rub it in firmly rather than gently, otherwise it will not soak into our skin, just sit on the surface. I tend to use this after I have got out the bath as it makes my skin feel gorgeous.

As I suffer, like most people, from particularly dry knees I focus on this area as it makes even these areas feel soft. It is easy and quick to apply with maximum effect.

*Price and Availability*

Sanctuary Bidadari Shimmering Body Soufflé retails at £9.95. It is quite high is price but you should think of it as an alternative to spending a day at the Spa. Then it works out that you are actually saving money!

You can purchase this soufflé from any Boots store. If you don't have one local to you, it is available to buy online at www.boots.com. Alternatively you can buy it directly from The Sanctuary Spa shop online at www.thesanctuary.co.uk.

*My Opinion*

The packaging: Sanctuary Bidadari Shimmering Body Souffle comes in a clear glass jar with a metal clasp closure. The jar itself is very stylish and looks nice. But I can't say that I'm a big fan of this type of packaging as it isn't that simple to open. I would certainly prefer a lid that just twists off as I think this would attract more consumers than this more complicated contraption. Although the glass jar looks nicer, it isn't the easiest to use.

Colour, texture and smell: The colour of this soufflé is a dark cream colour with a slight gold shimmer. To look at, this soufflé is certainly not the most appealing. But when applied the gold shimmer that you are left with is lovely and the perfect amount of shimmer without being over the top. It looks perfect when you have a glowing tan.

The texture of this product is actually quite strange. It is quite thick and bouncy but massages into your skin easily. It is like the stuff you used to get in a plastic pot when you were younger that made fart noises. Don't let this put you off though!

As for the smell, it is divine. It is a fairly sweet floral scent and you can definitely smell the jasmine in the soufflé which is good for me as I love that odour. If you don't like the smell, don't bother with the product as it lingers on your skin for quite a long time after it has been applied.

Does it leave your skin exotically fragrant, wonderfully smooth and softly gleaming? Yes, yes and yes. The smell is left lingering on your skin once applied which is fantastic when it smells as good as it does. Your skin is left smoother than you could even imagine. This soufflé is great to use if you have a hot date and want to feel confident. And you skin gleams marvellously with the slight shimmer that you gain from this product.

Longevity of the product: This soufflé comes in a 450ml glass jar. I found that this lasted between 3 and 4 months when used once or twice a week. It isn't the type of product that you would use on a daily basis as it has such a lasting effect.

*Would I Recommend This Product?*

I would strongly recommend using this product. It makes your skin feel beautiful leaving you relaxed and refreshed. It is a product that makes you feel as though you've spent the day at a spa when you haven't even stepped foot outside your house.

How unlucky is my mum that it caused her a rash! I'm reaping the benefits though so I will definitely not complain. For anyone that loves to pamper themselves or is a fan of Sanctuary products, I recommend this product unquestionably. It is a high quality product that although is quite expensive, you will be left feeling indulged.

If you like this product, you can also buy the following from the Bidadari range: Shimmering Bath Crème, Body Oil and Body Dust.

*Overall*

I adore the way my skin feels after I have used Sanctuary Bidadari Shimmering Body Soufflé but the price tag is somewhat off putting. I will only buy it as part of a 3 for 2 offer but there is no doubting the fantastic feeling that you get when you apply it. It is great to give to those close to you as a birthday or Christmas present so keep it in mind when it comes round to that time again.
