Description:

Packed with deeply-hydrating plant oils and specially created to enhance your skin’s natural radiance, this ultra-rich cream is our most intensive body moisturiser. A rich blend of Evening Primrose, Jojoba and certified organic Rosehip oils deeply moisturise and nourish the skin while Sunflower oil and Manuka Honey soften and protect. Licorice and Mica – a light-reflecting mineral – leaves shimmering, radiant skin you’ll love.

Texture: Thick, but not ick-greasy. It’s not too rich that you cannot wear this in summer. Still, I would recommend this to those with dry skin (I have particularly dry, unfortunately scaly legs), if you would like to use it in summer. For those with oily/normal skin, better to stick to lotions, yes?

Scent: Lavender. Not overpowering, but subtle lavender, which I completely adore. That’s already a win for me.

Now I’m not normally a fan of mica in skincare products, whether it’s for the face or body. I’m a firm believer that mica should be in makeup and makeup alone. Often with many bodycare products, I find that the amount of mica in them is enough to make one look like a disco ball. It’s for the shimmery effect, so that the skin will glow when sun-kissed. Works for most people, just not for me.

That’s why I wasn’t sure about this body cream, because I didn’t know that there was going to be mica in it. Still, the scent was enticing enough for me to want to give it a go. When I applied it on my arms and legs, I thought I was given a dud product because my skin didn’t have those light-reflecting minerals that I expected. Hmm, curiouser and curiouser.

When I was out in the sun, my skin glowed. Minute particles of mica shimmered so beautifully on my skin. I was oddly mesmerised. When I had it on daily for the first week, I kept admiring my glowy, shimmery-but-not-a-disco-ball arms.

Idiot 😛

Since I prefer not to have mica on me 24/7, I only apply this during the day, which I can easily wash off. I can already see me using this heavily for summer when I don’t have to wear those bloomin’ jeans no more.

Trilogy Ultra Hydrating Body Cream retails at AU$26 for 150ml and is available at leading pharmacies and Myer.

What I like about it: Subtle lavender scent, contains enough mica to give me glowy skin but not look like a disco ball. Keeps skin hydrated for hours.

What I do not like about it: Nothing
