Laura Eccles: The Body Shop Body Butter

Lets just start off by saying I absolutely LOVE these body butters!

I first got one back in march when my mum got me the new sweet lemon body butter. I wasn't sure whether I would like the smell or not seeing as I don't always like the smell of lemons. But I was pleasantly surprised at the sweet yet delightful soft smell of lemons. It really does smell divine!

I have never really tried a body butter before so I was curious whether or not it would be to thick and heavy for the skin, luckily however it is just right, not to greasy and not to thick and sticky. It's amazing! The sweet lemon body butter is for normal/dry skin so I think that's why it is just right with the consistency. It is a very moisturising product and I would definitely recommend. I have actually used all of this up and need to repurchase soon.

So seeing as I loved this body butter so much I went back and purchased another around June. I didn't really like many of the scents and I couldn't smell them properly in the shop because inside the shop it is very fragrant. But in the end I got the mango body butter and I also got some lip butters which I will talk about in another post.

Anyway so when I got home I opened it up (obviously) and smelt it. It smells delicious like you are eating a mango! But I have to admit I do prefer my sweet lemon body butter. The mango body butter is for very dry skin as it states on the top of the container. This one is maybe slightly more moisturising because it is for very dry skin which also means it is thicker and stickier, but still a lovely, buttery consistency (hence the name 'body butter').

Overall I would say my favourite is the the sweet lemon because it is less thick and absorbs quicker and in my opinion has a nicer, fresher smell that you can never dislike even if you keep sticking your nose into the tub (who would do that? *cough cough*). The price of these butters is £5.00 for a 50ml tub and £12.50 for a 200ml tub which I think is slightly pricey but even so I think the product is worth every penny and makes up for the cost.
