IF you want to smell like you just left a villa in Fiji, try Leah Kateb’s favorite after-shower beauty products.
The Love Island USA star was inspired to share her favourite budget buys because people always tell her how good she smells.
Fans have noticed that Leah has prioritised her skincare since her time in the villa, and many of her favourite products are inexpensive.
She recommended four products to ‘upgrade your shower routine’ in a viral video.
Lea (@leah.kateb) recommended four purchases to “upgrade your shower routine” in a viral tiktok video.
“The compliments I always get are A, that my skin is so soft, and B, that I always smell so good,” she said.
She decided to stop gatekeeping and share her ‘secrets’ with people.
Leah says she always starts her shower with an antibacterial wash to “get rid of all the gunk from the day.”
Next, she uses the Lush Sticky Dates Shower Gel, $12, which contains date syrup and vanilla.
She said it “smells like all the good things you can bring together in this world.”

Some viewers were already big fans and thanked her for popularizing it.
“I work at Lush and thank you for making Sticky Gates go viral. We’re getting body spray in Sticky Dates!” one person wrote.
“They NEED to make a whole Sticky Dates line,” added another.
Leah then uses the affordable L’Occitane Shower Oil, $12, for “gentle care.”
She explained that the scent is similar to baby shampoo, but not overpowering.
Next, she applies the Eos Vanilla Cashmere Lotion, $9 on Amazon, all over her body.
“This is it. It smells so good. I went all out and used it every day for three months. Wow. Wow. Wow,” she cheered.
Leah recommended the Kiehls Creme de Corpse Body Butter, $38, as a pricier alternative with soy milk and honey.
She described it as “really nice” and an “amazing” scent that leaves your skin “so hydrated” and “so soft.”
She explained that the Kiehls product keeps your skin “hydrated longer,” but that the Eos lotion smells so good that she “just can’t stop loving it.”
Finally, she said she always sprays herself with her favorite vanilla perfume.
But don’t expect her to release the link anytime soon.
“I don’t know if I’m ready to share it with the world yet. I don’t want anyone to steal it. I’m sorry,” she said.
“Please share your vanilla perfume,” wrote one beauty lover.
“Luckily you didn’t share that perfume because it would have sold out by now, haha,” another commented.
