Whilst scrolling through past posts, in search of a review or article to feature
in my#tbt post, I came across this review on the Molton Brown
Heavenly Gingerlily Bath & Shower Gel, however upon re-reading it made
me feel sad for various reasons.
Despite only going back to 2012 (8yrs), it mentions 3 powerhouses on the
South African beauty landscape that sadly are no longer with us.
1.
Glossybox
the international monthly subscription beauty box that just didn't
thrive in SA.
2.
Stuttafords
the department store that had been around for over 100 years.
3.
Red Square
The stand alone beauty store arm of Edgars has recently closed and re-located
their beauty back into the Edgars stores.
On a brighter note I have re-purchased the Heavenly Gingerlily
Bath & Shower Gel several times along with many other of the fragrance
variants and Molton Brown has become one of my favourite go-tos for
luxurious indulgent bubbles.
*I have amended the price*

Molton Brown has been available for over 2 years now in South Africa, but this quintessential British export has been "wowing" its followers worldwide for
nearly 40 years....so what or who is Molton Brown?
The natural and alternate hairdressing salon opened in 1973 and took its
name from the street it was situated on...Molton Street London.
Soon the salon created their own natural hair & body products and as the
saying goes "the rest is history".
Molton Brown consists of luxurious product ranges for the bath, body, hair,
men, home, gifting and travel using the finest plant and marine extracts.
Over 85% of their products are produced in England.
Expertly created fragrance collections proudly hold a Royal Warrant for
the supply of toiletries by appointment to Her Majesty the Queen.
Now available in 70 countries worldwide this brand remains proudly British!
I remember fondly of a trip to London in the late 70's as a trainee
Beauty Therapist making a "beeline" for Molton Brown on Molton Street,
hoping to walk in and get an appointment to have my hair cut....
Oh dear! what naivety.
The reason for this post, is that way back in May I received an exclusive
Stuttafords "Glossybox" that contained a travel size (30ml) of the
Heavenly Gingerlily Bath & Shower Gel.
I cannot believe this was lying in a drawer begging me to try it for
I cannot believe this was lying in a drawer begging me to try it for
over five months!
What is so nice about the Molton Brown product line up, is that it extends to
several products with the same fragrance, so once you have found you're
favourite, it can truly fragrance your room or whole house.
Those that know me well, I am a lover of my bath much preferring it
to a shower.
For me a Foam bath must be as much about the fragrance and it benefits,
as the staying power and volume of the bubbles, as you can't have one
without the other and all of these I found to be great in this product.
The name heavenly is also very apt, as the fragrance is absolutely heavenly,
escape to exotic beaches with fragrant lily, warming ginger and cardamom
in this alluring bath and shower gel.
Paraben-free, gluten-free, cruelty-free and vegan
No ingredient of animal origin
Would I buy it? Yes as the fragrance is far too "yummy" to resist...
