Advantages: Gorgeous scent

Disadvantages: a bit pricy

I am a big fan of Avon Pur Blanca perfume. Because of my liking for the fragrance, I recently purchased the Pur Blanca shower gel and matching skin softener as a treat for myself.

The skin softener comes in an attractive little pot (150ml) and a screw top lid. I'd say the packaging is "minimalist" and rather basic.

The gorgeous rich cream more than makes up for any dissapointment you might feel at the lack of imagination given to the packaging, however. With the subtle scent of Pur Blanca, and a rich almost "velvety" texture to the cream, I'd recommend it to anybody who likes a scent that is not overpowering or heavy. (I'd say this cream is ideal for daytime use).

After using, my skin feels soft and moisturised. I particularly like using all three products together. I.E using the shower gel first, then applying the cream, and finishing off with a few sprays of the fragrance.

This may seem as though the scent would be overpowering, but I find that the Pur Blanca fragrance is very light and fresh.

My only complaint is the price. At £3.50 for a fairly small pot, it isn't cheap when compared to other body lotions or creams, and with everybody feeling the pinch financially at the moment, i'd say it's probably best suited to using on special occasions, or as a treat. That said, it's probably a bit more expensive as it is part of the perfume range, as opposed to other body creams.

And don't forget, there are regular offers in Avon, and i find that this is usually the best time to purchase products like this one, as then they become much more affordable.

Summary: GOOD FOR A TREAT OR ON SPECIAL OCCASIONS
