Advantages: Rich Moisturiser
Disadvantages: The scent may be too overpowering for many!
- Price and Packaging -
Individually priced at £3.95 for 300ml. Asda recently had an offer on these products, 3 for £10 so this worked out so a slight reduction at £3.33. This comes in cylindricial tub with a screw top lid. Great packaging as there is no waste, unlike a tube, every last bit can be scooped out!
- What's on the packaging? -
~ Contains ginger extracts and shea butter.
~ Helps kick start your circulation when masseaged in to your skin.
~ Gives your skin a healthy glow.
- My Experience -
~ Smell and Appearance
This has a very strong smell and it's therefore not ideal applying this before a night out as the aroma lingers for quite some time and would either clash or overpower any perfume you may want to wear.
It reminds me of home baking and as odd as it may sound, it's a warm, rich wintery smell, lovely to apply after a bath on a cold winter's evening and let it soak in!
It is a light beige cream which when in the tub, looks very thick, however when you scoop a small amount out, it's not as thick as it first looks.
~ How does it affect my skin?
Fortunately I don't suffer from any skin conditions like eczema etc but I do, unfortunately have quite dry skin, particularly on my shins in the winter months.
This is a lovely, rich feeling cream when applied. A little really does go a long way and it absorbs quickly in to my skin without leaving any stickiness. I can't go so far to say that it gives my skin a healthy glow but it certainly moisturises it without any irritation whatsoever.

- Overall -
Although the smell of this will not be to everyone's taste, I feel quite pampered on a cold winter's evening after using this body cream. It leaves my skin feeling fully moisturised but I won't be using it before a night out because of it's quite heavy scent.
All in all, I'm very happy with the product and for once, a product that doesn't promise unattainable miracles for my skin!
Thanks for reading :-)
N.B. This review also appears on ciao.
Summary: A great moisturiser though for some the scent may be too strong - Good value for money!
