SENSUAL SMACKDOWN: Smoove me, Baby, Part Two: Lelo

In Part One, we got SMOOVED by JimmyJane's luxurious Afterglow massage Candle. This time, we're taking Lelo's Flickering Touch massage oil to task!

Lelo Flickering Touch Massage Oil

Price: $38.99

Appearance: The container looks like a bottle of fancy perfume, with a black glass chamber, gold dispenser pump (fyi, it's a squirt pump, not an atomizer) and a removable colored plastic halo (the color depends on the fragrance, I bought the fresh lily and musk scent, so it was purple) that covers the dispenser when not in use. The bottle is gorgeous and discreet (though I don't know why you'd be embarrassed to have massage oil in your bathroom.)

Lelo also makes a gold plated vibrator.

Useability: The oil has a wonderful texture, very silky and light, absorbs easily into the skin, and best of all, is infused with 24 karat gold dust powder (that explains the price tag!) The gold doesn't show up on your skin like glitter, but leaves a gorgeous glow, so you won't want to wash this off post-massage. This is fairly light as massage oils go and absorbs quickly, but it's ideal if you don't want a heavy or drippy massage oil. I really love this as a special occasion lotion, since it feels heavenly and makes your skin look all glowy and beautiful.

There is only one major complaint I have with this product. I cannot perceive the scent, AT ALL, which was a major disappointment (though a benefit if you are fragrance sensitive). The scent I can smell is more of a natural oil smell, kind of like a vitamin e capsule. A friend who smelled it was convinced it was rancid, though I personally didn't think it smelled *that* bad (she's hyper scent sensitive). Although the natural oils used to make this product (apricot kernel, grapeseed, and jojoba)are all fairly shelf stable, this product doesn't have an expiration date, so it's possible that the ingredients have gone a little "off" depending on when it was made. I'd be curious to hear if other people experienced this as well.

Final Verdict: 8/10. Wonderful lightweight shimmery massage and body oil in a luxurious bottle. I wouldn't mind the high price tag if it delivered on the fragrance front as well, but unfortunately it didn't for me.
