The Body Shop Lip Butter - Review!

Hey Beauts,

So a quick review today of The Body Shop Lip Butters! I owned one of these about 5 years ago and discovered the empty pot of it just before Christmas which in turn made me remember how much I used to love these Lip Butters! After purchasing 3 more and trying them out again for the past few months, I am ready to give you my honest opinion! 

As you can see in the picture, I ended up purchasing the Mango, Shea and Coconut flavours, they came in a set of three but can be purchased separately for £4 each. Not bad for 10ml worth of product. The flavours can certainly be smelt/tasted when using them and are very true flavours for what they are representing and don't taste artificial at all. Along with that, the formula of these isn't sticky, which is a bonus as sticky things on the lips personally annoys me and just ends up making my hair sticky too. The product lasts on your lips for about 10 minutes in a pale white colour before disappearing, which again in my opinion is great because if you use it before applying make up, by the time you get to putting lipstick on, your lips will be perfectly soft. 

Now don't get me wrong, this product does leave my lips lovely and soft if used on a regular basis, but from reading other reviews and my own personal experience, if your lips are already chapped and flaky, this product won't help at all. It usually just forms balls of lip butter and dry skin on your lips and to me, it sounds and feels disgusting. I highly recommend having one of these in your stash for an everyday basis, especially one that tastes beautiful (such as the mango one) but also having something like Nivea for those days when your lips are chapped and need some extra care! 

Have any of you tried The Body Shop Lip Butters out? And if so, what do you think of them? What is your favourite scent? And do you have any other lip balms that you think I should try out?

The Body Shop Body Butters - Review!

Hey Beauts,

I'm going to start todays post off by saying that I really don't like body creams. I hate the way they feel, the sticky feel they leave on your skin and how they feel when you climb into bed after applying it and you just stick to the bed sheets. I mainly put this down to only using 'cheap' body creams and I just haven't found one that doesn't do this to me yet.

However, a couple of weeks ago I discovered The Body Shop Body Butters (RRP: £13.00). I was given one as a present during Christmas 2012 and just left it in my draw thinking it would be the same as any other body cream I have ever used. But boy was I wrong. I tried it out and it just soaked right up into my skin not only leaving my skin feeling hydrated but it had none of the 'side effects' of body cream such as the sticky skin syndrome. The next morning my skin was feeling lovely and soft. Even bits of fluff or my hair were not even stuck to the sides of my legs. Everyones a winner!

But as well as this, the smell was amazing! I had the coconut one at the time and as soon as you open the lid, your nostrils are filled with such a wonderful scent. Even if applied onto the likes of sun-burn I don't think it wouldn sting just because how soft, creamy and silky the body butters are. Since discovering how much I loved this little pot of happiness I went onto The Body Shop website and did a little bit of online shopping picking up Cranberry Joy and Shea Butter which equally smell UH-Mazing and super softening!

I would highly recommend these body butters to anyone, especially if you aren't a fan of body creams! Have you tried any of The Body Shop Body Butters out before? And if so, what did you think of them? I'd also be curious as to if you know of any amazing body creams I should try? Let me know in the comments below and remember to follow on GFC and BlogLovin' if you aren't already! <3
