Goodies and Vanilla Donuts

Two weeks ago I received a review package in the mail from Perfume Land in Orlando Florida filled with two new exciting products. The Dermashine Peach and Pomegranate body cream and the Vanilla Donut Brightening cream. I’m a sucker for body care products so lets just say that my excitement level was about a level 10 or higher. Usually I steer clear of anything scented but both of these products were lightly scented and I still to this day can’t stop raving about them.



Dermashine body cream ($29) contains concentrated drops of vitamins A, C, and E for enhanced skin penetration. Bursting with moisturizing beads, this body lotion leaves you feeling moisturized and ridiculously soft. I had the opportunity to sample both the Peach and Pomegranate body cream and the Green Tea and Aloe Vera body cream and both left me feeling soft and smooth. The Peach and Pomegranate body cream reminds me of a sweet pastry from a local bakery I frequented back in my high school days. The smell is sweet without being overwhelming which was a huge plus for me. The Green Tea and Aloe Vera body cream had a a very pleasant scent to it. Out of the two I think I would honestly have to say that the Green Tea body cream was by far my favorite.

The only negative I could say about this product is that at times I found the moisturizing beads to be a bit difficult to rub into my skin. I’m not sure if I just lacked the physical strength or patience to rub every single bead in, but I would often leave out of the bathroom with little red beads on my chest and arms. Just to test this out I did ask both of my sisters to try the lotion and they both reported having a difficult time rubbing in all of the beads. Second would be the price. $29 for a 8oz jar of body cream may seem excessive for some but I have been informed that the cost for Dermashine per item is subject to change soon. But, the good news if you would like to try before you buy free samples are available upon request.

Straight from site: “Vanilla Donut Brightening Cream ($24.50) by Perfume and Skin Distributors is designed not to harm or damage the physiology of the skin as opposed to powerful bleaching agents such as Hydroquinone. Instead, it contains a high concentration of Axolight, a certified organic lightening complex (safe & gentle) that has been clinically proven to act even faster than Arbutine (other powerful skin lightener).”

This cream smells like vanilla Colgate toothpaste which oddly enough I enjoyed. I applied the brightening cream to my face using a circular motion everyday for the past two weeks and I have experienced no adverse reactions to my skin. No breakouts, no burning, itching, oozing, nothing. My skin actually seems more smooth now and a little brighter. I’m sure it will take more than two weeks for me to see any results but I can say that so far I am more than pleased.



Here is my before and after photograph. Before using the Vanilla Donut brightening cream my skin was a bit dull and dare I say it ashy in appearance. After using the Vanilla Donut brightening cream my skin appears brighter and more youthful. As I said before it may be to early to tell but in another month I will update this post with another before and after photograph.

In the end I enjoyed both of these products and I plan on visiting the Orlando store next month. Check out the size of this Orlando store!
