On a recent trip to the Metrocentre my housemate bought a coconut flavoured body butter, which, at the time, was the only one left on the shelf, and I instantly became quite jealous. It smelled delicious, and looked exactly like the body butter I'd previously been eying up in the Body Shop (but didn't fancy forking out almost £15 for). At £7.95 each I was tempted to find a Boots employee and purchase a body butter of my own, but resisted, telling myself that I had far too much body butter to use up at home already.
As you can tell from the images in this post that that didn't work. In fact, when I went back to the Boots in Durham, and got left alone for 5 minutes while another friend was being matched to a No7 foundation, I ventured upstairs to be faced with a 3 for 2 on indulgent bathing. Cue me ending up paying for 3 body butters, instead of the one coconut one I'd originally wanted. I really must stop doing this...
I'm so glad I picked up these body butters though, they've triumphed all of my other body lotions that I have on the go at the moment - which is saying something! Boots state that their body butter 'intensively moisturises and hydrates, leaving skin soft and smooth', and I couldn't agree more, which is a good thing considering I bought three and as ever, the smell enticed me in! There's just something about coconut, vanilla and cocoa bean scents that I can't get enough of at the moment.
The consistency of the butter is so silky it's like applying satin to your skin, and the scent lingers, but not too powerfully, for a little while after application which makes me want to lick my skin (which, or course is a little odd and I don't actually do that...). The result? Beautifully smooth and hydrated skin which makes me a happy girlie. What's more is that they're all fair trade and the cocoa butter and coconut butter are both organic - *waves goodbye to nasty ingredients*.
I can't praise these highly enough, I might even ask for some of the other scents for my birthday, the mango one also looked delightful...
What's your favourite scent?
I love the body shops coconut body butter. Its my all time favourite! x

Ahhhh body butters, probably the hardest thing it is for me to resist buying more when I already have tons!
ReplyDeletegreat review, you've really made me want to go out and try these :) Love the idea that they feel silky on the skin, nothing worse than a greasy heavy body butter that takes ages to absorb x
ReplyDeletei love buying body butter, i always buy far too much, love having a pot kicking about! i agree though, the body shop ones are just slightly out of my price range. i haven't tried the boots ones, but the vanilla one looks great, i love everything vanilla scented. i use the superdrug body butters, i really rate them and they're even cheaper than the boots version. x
ReplyDeleteThese look so yummy! I haven't tried these body butters, but I've tried the Boots Coconut lip butter and it's really awesome! <3
ReplyDeleteI love their products! I have the cocoa butter cream and that smells and works fabulous. I love the coconut scent they use and have got myself the body wash of it. Had no idea they done a Vanilla scent! Will have to go and check it out! X x
ReplyDeleteI literally love these body butters! All the scents smell amazing especially the cocoa butter :)
