What was it called??

I'm 43, when I was 20ish I used to buy a moisturiser that was white with glitter sparkle in. It was in a clear short fat bottle that was clear with a pink lid and it smelled gorgeous.

Can anyone remember what it was called? I used to buy it in Debenhams and John Lewis. For the life of me I can't remember what it was called. Can anyone help, it's driving me around the mend! Lol

Sounds like something Benefit might have made.

judgementfail · 10/04/2024 20:30

Was it from one of the beauty concession stands (eg Clarins, YSL, Benefit) or from the standard shelves in the beauty section?

TimesChangeAgain · 10/04/2024 20:33

This one?

Was it branded by Jessica Simpson? She had a brand called Dessert beauty.

This makes me think of High Beam by Benefit.

judgementfail · 11/04/2024 07:59

Come back OP. I'm oddly invested in this.

Pot description sounds like Soap and Glory but I don't think they existed then.

One of the Philosophy ones- Amazing Grace?

MadelineWuntch · 11/04/2024 08:04

No pink lid for Philosophy though...

Ralph by Ralph Lauren? That was a glittery lotion with a pink lid I think?

judgementfail · 11/04/2024 08:26

Also face or body moisturiser?
Bottle shape?

judgementfail · 11/04/2024 08:32

Bathina by Benefit 'Touch me then try to leave' cream? Peachy smell

What was it called??

I need to know!

Shangrilalala · 11/04/2024 08:49

Don’t know but I am a glitter body lotion/aftersun obsessive and always in the hunt for new brands as mysteriously they are often discontinued. Sanctuary have form for this as they discontinued my much mourned rose gold shimmer lotion.

Last summer I used Sunkissed shimmer body butter by Bomb. Not high end and I smelled like a pina colada but it did the job!

Toomuchgoingon79 · 11/04/2024 10:52

Nope none of these. It was on the beauty stands at John Lewis/Debenhams, so a designer brand. It was a stunning smell, I only used to use it when I went out lol it was about £30 at the time. I can see it. A clear stubby bottle with pink writing and a pink flip lid. White with glitter sparkles in. I wish I hadn't thrown my last one away and then I wouldn't be driving myself potty!!

Body or face moisturiser?

Can you post a picture of a similar looking bottle because I can't picture what you mean by stubby.

DrJoanAllenby · 11/04/2024 11:09

Already mentioned but different packaging -

Bath and body works

DrJoanAllenby · 11/04/2024 11:11

Better picture here of bottle design.

Meets your description of era, stubby bottle and pink flip top lid.

OP says designer brand

Toomuchgoingon79 · 11/04/2024 12:03

Imagine it's the height of the Jo making perfume bottle, but 'fatter' with a pink lid like the black one on the picture shows. It was a plastic bottle so squeezable.

Toomuchgoingon79 · 11/04/2024 15:32

Well Done!! I didn't think it was a RL one for some reason! It's been bugging me for ages. So glad we found it lol

I still wear Ralph perfume, I usually pick it up at the airport.

Often get stopped and asked what I have on, when people get a sniff that takes them right back in time!

DrJoanAllenby · 11/04/2024 18:24

You can buy some old stock on eBay! £21.99

Gowlett · 11/04/2024 18:33

I had this, too! It’s the first thing I thought of when I read your description. I loved all of those sweet smells back then. Still do!
