This picture does no justice to how richly yellow this body mousse it. It is this gorgeous canary yellow.

This "mousse" is a whipped body lotion. This is a very thick lotion, almost a butter. I found that applying this after showering, when you skin in warmer, it absorbs better; at least it rubs in quicker. When my skin is dry and normal... (ex. it's 6:30 and I'm sitting here typing and feel like procrastinating so sure...blogging would be a great productive time killer!!!) it takes a bit more effort to rub in.

In the container it has this super sweet lemon scent. It is like lemon zest. When you put it on it is the exact amazing smell of those flower shaped lemon frosted cookies you buy in a red package. You know the ones. Yes...those exact ones! It is so delightful and delicious. Wow.... great scent.

When you put it on the lemon evenly disperses but that baked good scent comes out more. The cookie scent goes into a more mild cupcake scent, with a stronger undertone (maybe vanilla?) coming out. Still it is a fresh and quenching aroma I'm proud to wear!

Your skin does not feel greasy, however if you do not rub it in totally there is this awkward thick feeling. Once it is rubbed in, it absorbs like a few minutes and leaves your skin feeling very refreshed and smooth.

Overall, aside from the thickness that may bother some people, this is a great body mousse. It is a luxury bath item (available in other great smells as well!) My only concern is that you may want to eat or lick it. Hey... there is an idea... can this be made edible? I'd sign up for it.

Rating: 4.8 outta 5
