When you work within the beauty industry, you soon become familiar with some of the best (and worst) cosmetics that are being churned out on a regular basis. At the Cosmetify office, we’ve tried our fair share of elite samples and conducted heavy research into the latest beauty trends. And what has this taught us? Well, besides encouraging us to spend mass amounts of money on even more eyeshadow palettes, it’s given us a thorough insight into what we as consumers should and shouldn’t be investing in.
So, when we were given the task of narrowing down the best-smelling body creams and lotions, we all chipped in with our own tried-and-tested favourites – and there's a lot of ‘em.
So without further ado, here's our certified list of the best-smelling body creams and lotions that in some instances will actually make you salivate a little.
