Yummy treats for your skin

A word of advice: Do not use Vanilla & Co.’s skincare products when you’re hungry. Because they smell so yummy you’d want to eat them. I’m not kidding. I was tempted to lick the tub of Glazed Donut Whipped Buttercream because its scent is unmistakably like a, well, donut’s. And I wasn’t even hungry at the time. More on that later.
Established by Andrea Lo, twin sister of Elaine Lo of Cosmo Bread, Vanilla & Co. offers a naturally formulated skincare regimen that boasts of the finest ingredients, all rich and natural. The company doesn’t rely on mass production, ensuring that each product is strictly monitored and given the TLC it needs.
Now on to the really good stuff!
The Coffee/Chocolate Hand and Body Lotion: P150 (150ml); P280 (300ml)
What kind of woman doesn’t go crazy over coffee, chocolate, or both (except those allergic to them, of course)? Vanilla & Co.’s Hand and Body Lotions in Coffee and Chocolate are enriched with aloe vera and coconut oil that protect the skin from free radicals. And they smell so good.
The Coffee lotion reminds me of that comforting scent you get a whiff of when entering a quiet coffee shop. As for the Chocolate one, trust me: It really does smell like chocolate (more like bottled chocolate milk).
The great thing about these lotions is they are absorbed easily by the skin, but the scent doesn’t go away quickly. After applying the Coffee lotion on my hands, I washed my hands with water after a while. Even as I rinsed my hands with water, I could still smell traces of coffee on them.
Vanilla & Co.’s body polish that smells like a thirst-quenching fruit shake on the next page.

I’m a fan of V & Co.! I’m absolutely in love with their WBC! My favorite’s 50% cocoa butter, it’s really moisturizing and I love the smell! I also have the creamy vanilla mist and olive dry oil mist and I also love both, creamy vanilla smells wonderful, now I understand what ‘creamy’ smells like. I’m close to finishing my tub of grapeseed polish, can’t wait to try their 50% cocoa butter scrub, massage oils, body wash and skin parfum!

I’m inlove with V&Co’s products! Hehehe… I also love their WBC. Like Mai, I have their Creamy Vanilla Mist as well. I have several of their scrubs and all of ‘em really work wonders on my skin. I love the cushy feeling I get everytime I use their scrubs and body butters.

Vanilla & Co. products are definitely one of the best that i’ve tried. I’ve always recommended it to my friends and they’ve been V&CO converts since!
I especially lo-o-ve their whipped buttercream, oil scrubs and Faddy line.

My favorite V&Co products are the body butter in vanilla paradise and whipped buttercream scrub in vanilla-vanilla. They’re amazing! The scrub doesn’t make my skin dry at all and even after toweling off, my skin is supple! I gave V&Co’s Faddy molding clay to my brother and he’s been using it eversince, he said it really tames his hair hehe
