Hello Everyone 😉
I am back with another review this week! This time its one of my favorite brands –The Body Shop! I love how The Body Shop integrates natural ingredients with the some most popular scents like floral,musky,citrus to give us the most fragrant and amazing body lotions,shower gels,scrubs and mists. They create some of the most beautiful marriages in the smell department 🙂 I also love the fact that their fragrances and effects of their products are so long lasting.
Since they have entered the Indian market, I have been stocking on their products like a total shopaholic normally does. I bought so many body butters and lotions ,shower gels, scrubs this year and soo enjoying using them every day. I am almost done with a few of them so I am ready to review them, Today I will review their bestsellers in one of their newly launched lines in the honeymania range-The Body Shop Honeymania Body Butter.
About the brand: The Body Shop International PLC, known as The Body Shop, has a range consisting of 1,200 products, including cosmetics and make-up in its 2,500 franchised stores in 61[2] countries. The company, which has its international headquarters in Littlehampton, West Sussex, England, was founded in 1976 by Anita Roddick and is now part owned by L’Oréal.
The thing that I love most about this brand is that they are free from Animal Testing. Now I am kind of touchy and feel sad about this subject .As we all know the poor animals are made to suffer a lot during the tests. 😦 Hence I always try and use brands that are free from animal testing. And would request all of you to also try and buy stuff free from animal testing.Hats off to The Body Shop!, great job ,you guys!

Packaging: The packaging is typical of all Body Shop’s body butter packaging,its in a tub! It comes in 6.75 Oz and small 1.69 Oz sizes.I have 6.75 Oz one ,although the tub is very strong I would not say it is necessarily travel friendly as it is a little bulky ,the smaller one maybe more travel friendly,The tub is very colorful and cute and I will definitely not be throwing it after I am done with the body butter!

My experience with the product:
I loveee the smell,It smells of flowers ,flowers and some more flowers. A very nice floral scent! So if you are expecting this to smell more of honey then beware,it does not. Yes it does smell of honey too,but honey is a submissive smell in this body butter,this smell is dominated by wildflowers. If you are a floral fragrance lover then you will definitely love this. Otherwise do not even bother to pick this up. It would surely give you a headache. I love floral fragrances however not the very heavy ones. Hence I make sure not to apply a lot of the butter on to my skin,that way I get a nice ,light smell of flowers throughout the day without giving me a headache 😛 Another thing that I do in order to deviate from the one dimensional floral smell is to apply a mist/perfume with musky notes.
The consistency is quite thick ,luxurious and rich for sure,it looks and feels like real butter. It will work great for winters and people with dry skin(on body) like me can use it in summers too. The color of the butter is very very light orange 😀 Not sure how to describe hence attaching lot of pictures for reference:)
I usually apply this body butter after I take a nice hot shower,I apply it all over my body. I notice that all body shop butters usually get absorbed instantly with no oiliness or sticky feeling. I get this hydrated feeling and my body feels soft as silk after this ritual.
And mind you,this stays on for almost 12 hours. I would not say 24 hours , that is a little far fetched. Atleast, I cannot smell it past 12 hours.But yes the hydrated feeling is still there after 12 hours also.So you do not need to re apply it again during the day which is great!. I feel that is the reason I have not been able to finish up this one tub even though I have been using it for the last few months. I am waiting for this finish so I can try out some others from them 😛
Overall ,it is great value for money. One tub will last for a good 3 months even if used everyday.
Aviatrr Rating: 4.5/5
(cut 0.5 as the smell maybe a little too heavy for sensitive noses )
Would I recommend this to my friends?Definitely yes. This range is too good.Go for it if you are a lover of floral scents and soft skin:) I also have the scrub from this range and loved that too! Review coming up soon!
Thanks for Reading 🙂
