REVIEW - The Body Shop - Shea Body Butter :-)

Hullo Ladies!

So I fancied writing another Body Butter review today, they're my favourite products to use on dry skin so I have lots and lots of them, I'm also slightly obsessed hehe

Last month I reviewed the Mango Body Shop Body Butter which you can see here

The Shea Body Butter is probably the most moisturizing out of my collection the Mango coming a close second.

 I bought my first two tubs of Shea Butter for just £1 :-0

 It was before and after the Christmas sales because I had spent more than £25 at both times.  Amazing right?

They had a selection of three butters you could choose from, this one, Dreams Unlimited or Candied Ginger and I picked this up each time. As soon as I smelt It I knew I was in love :-) 

This is my second tub and I haven't used a lot of it lately as I've been reaching for the more fruity scented products due to the summer but this is my favourite to wear in winter and when I'm going on a night out and don't want my body products to over power my perfume :-) 

Like I said earlier this product is for very dry skin and boy does it work, I really notice the difference when I use it continuously, The Body Butter are the only products I have tired where I can say that my skin still felt soft and hydrated for some time after my last use. 

"The Body Shop Shea Body Butter and Garnier Shea Body Lotion"

I wanted to test the scent to see if it really was as gorgeous smelling as I thought it was compared to another Shea Body Lotion. I think we have all smelt Shea butter at some point as it's a rather popular scent with body lotions so I tested these against each other to see if they really did smell the same. I put a bit of the garnier on my left hand and the butter on my right. Firstly I noticed that the Garnier had a weak synthetic smell to it and the Butter was much more rich and sweeter smelling, stronger but not over powering. The scent lasted a lot longer on my right hand compared to the left too. 

So I have enough Body Butter to last me awhile now but I really wan't to try the cocoa version that the Body Shop have at some point as I have heard great things.

The Chocomania version I'm hoping to get very soon too, as a chocoholic it sounds amazing to me! 

I'm waiting for another Sale though hehe :-) 

You can buy The Body Shop Body Butters here.

Have you tried this product? Love it or Hate it?

The Body Shop Body Butters

                                                                            Hello!

       The Body Shop Body Butters are amazing to me, I've collected a few over the years, have smelt probably everyone they have made and these are soem of my favorites.

Satsuma Body Butter

This is my all time favorite smelling body butter, but its for normal skin so not the best for my-very-dry- and- in- need -of- top moisture- skin sadly but I still use it every chance I get :)

Sweet Lemon Body Butter

Nice but not sweet smelling enough for me I find it very sharp for my tastes but for some reason I love using it when I'm under the weather. Probably because It's the only thing I can smell that doesnt turn me ill.

Mango Body Butter

This is my second tub, I love the smell and find it really refreashing. It's for very dry skin which is great for me and i find that if I use it constantly for a few week's thats when my skin  is at its best. So I try to always have some at home :)

Almond Body Butter

This is one of my least Favorite smells, I had many fruity body butter and wanted something sweet but I bought this when It was on offer online with out actually smelling it. I also bought the Passion fruit, Brazil Nut and Blueberry that day and I disliked them all. Lucky I got them on sale because now my nan uses them for her feet!

Wild Cherry Body Butter

This is a nice smelling body butter but it's not one I would repurchase. It's for normal skin so not the best moisturiser for me but good when you want something a little bit different smelling.

 

Shea Body Butter

This is another I have gone through and bought again, It's great because it's extreamly moisturizing but also not too strongly fragranced so it messes with your perfume. This is one I wear out in the evening or when I'm going somewhere and I want someone to smell my perfume :) Also I got my two tubes of this for only £1 each when The body Shop had them on offer, if you spent a certain amount you could pick one out of three body butters for just a £1! Bargain!

Vanilla Body Butter

This is my newest Body Butter and I had it free with my last order from there online store, It was good luck because at the same time I was buying there Vanilla EDT, so I use this to layer the perfume to make the scent last longer. This is one of they're new Body Butters, they give you two seperate butters, one thats for dry skin and one thats for normal. Making it easier for you because your able to use the same moisturizer for your whole body.
