Hei Poa – sounds like something someone with no teeth might say by way of a greeting – is a yummy brand sold on the fabillis HQhair. It’s a Tahitian range and is particularly strong on bath, body and suncare products, and its not so secret ingredient is monoi oil – an oil derived from coconuts which has tons of moisturising type benefits.
If you’re not so keen on the smell of coconut, look away now. Coconutty smells feature across the range, as well as other delicous tropical scents like blossoms and fruit oils. The product above, a shower gel tounge-twistingly named gel douche bain au monoi vanillier, is scented with vanilla flowers and promises to be gorgeously moisturising. Yum!
€17.25 from HQhair may seem a bit steep for something you’ll wash on and off in the shower of a morning but in the absence of me getting any holliers this summer, I think I’m sold. If I can’t go on holidays, my logic is that at least I can smell like one!

Tried this once in a v swanky hotel, it’s larvely! Packaging looks a bit naff but it’s v nice.
oh have wanted to try this for ages but cant justify it just yet as ive loads of stuff in the bathroom waiting to be used.
This is a well known brand in france. their best product is the monoi oil, that you can use in lots of way: body oil, bronzing oil, hair oil (mainly).
I had the chance to meet the two brand creators: they are an old couple, totally hippy and absolutely lovely. but very hippy… The brand could be very famous, the products are good, but they don’t want to bother with a big international brand, they just want to enjoy life. Honestly, they are a very refreshing sight in the beauty industry
It was in France that I used it alright, the shower gel is a bit goey – very heavy, almost like a bath foam if you know what I mean…but used with a cloth or a puff thingy, a little goes a long way. The smell is just so summery!!
eh, admin – did i dream that you were in japan a few months back.. n paris.. n london, twice?
glitter – yeah a lot of that was for work though!
I tried the aftersun once and it made my skin burn like crazy after I put it on (and I wasn’t even sunburned) – I had to jump back into the shower to wash it off
It had a very fake, plastic-y smell too. I wouldn’t recommend it…
ah sure i know admin.. ‘work’
xgirl – saw you blogged about bobbi brown there – I am a recent convert too, tghe stonewashed nudes palette is just divine
Isn’t it gorgeous? I always thought her stuff was boring before, but the palette is 100% “me”
