Hi everyone! I got a little held up with my planned posts because I was busy during winter break (and also some of my hauls I ordered got delayed from Christmas shipping times) but I'm back in business now! Let's kick off the year with a The Body Shop review!
The amount of shower gel they give really doesn't feel like a lot LOL;;; but as it turns out, you only need a little bit to cover a lot of area so it should last maybe 10-15 washes?
The body butter also doesn't look like a lot at first sight but a little goes a long away here as well, so this little mini tub of body butter should actually last quite a few applications.
The gift box also comes with a mini bath crinkle thingy. Apparently TBS's shower crinkly things are really well-known and well-liked since they're soft and gentle on the skin and exfoliate well. They're also supposed to help the shower gel lather up better. I really like the colors eheh it's such a nice shade of red <3
The scent of the shower gel is really nice and fruity, but not overly sweet. It's a sweet-tart fruity scent that smells very much like cranberries. I love fruity scents, so this was right up my alley. The scent from the shower gel didn't linger very much after the shower though ;_; it was very subtle. Felt really nice and a bit moisturizing/very gentle on my skin though, compared to soaps and other shower cleansers!
Here's the body butter! It's a very pale, pretty shade of pink and smells amazing. It's the same sweet-tart fruity cranberry scent as the shower gel, and I love it a lot. The butter kind of shifted to one side of the tub during shipping I guess. One thing I noticed was there's no protective seal on it though D: Just the lid that screws off the tub. Hmm, would've liked a seal just for hygienic purposes.
The texture is quite thick and creamy, but it spreads well and melts into the skin fairly quickly, leaving it feeling very moisturized without being greasy or heavy. Also leaves your skin smelling wonderful~ I'm kind of sensitive to scents, and this one doesn't come across as overwhelming in any way, so I quite like it. I can't stand heavy/greasy/oily feelings from moisturizers, so the quick absorbancy of TBS body butters always wins me over hahaha.
Overall, I'd definitely recommend the body butter. I actually bought more after trying this this small gift box ahah ;;; The shower gel though, although it's nice, it's not something I'd repurchase for the price (I bought a full-size bottle but only because it was on sale for 50% off). TBS products are a bit on the pricey side, but they do have sales and promotions quite often. At $8 a bottle for full-size shower gel and $20 a tub for full size body butter, I only buy when there are sales because I'm cheap HAHAHA. I think for the amount of body butter you get though, the price might be worth it since it'll last a long time.
Final Ratings:
Shower Gel: 7/10 (scent doesn't linger)
Body Butter: 9/10 (pricey)
Repurchase?
I already did! :D On sale though.
Until next time! I'll try to do a game-related post next time =P
