The Body Shop Papaya Body Butter

== The Body Shop: Papaya Body Butter == == What is Papaya Body Butter? == Body Butter is pretty much what it says on the tub, this body butter especially looks like butter with its colour, and in the texture of the body butter, but it is moisturiser for all over body use! It is very thick and creamy and can be a little "slimy" when you first put your fingers into it, and unlike normal moisturiser you have to dig your fingers into it to get it out rather than it been quite wet in the tub. This for me is one of the downsides of the body butter, although I like moisturiser to be thick and creamy and not wet and slimy, this is a little _too_ thick, ...  Read the complete review

I've tried a few different 'flavours' of Body Shop body butter now, and its a real toss up between this one and the passionfruit for my favourite. I believe they have now discontinued the passionfruit, which leaves me with this one. Decision made, and no more stading in the shop agonising over which one to have. Sorted!

Price: £4 for 50ml £10 for 200ml From: The Body Shop For: Intensive 24 hour moisturisation to condition, soften and smooth The packaging is the usual Body Shop high quality, which looks quite plain and simple but is sturdy and looks nice. It's a plastic pot with a screw on lid which fastens nice and tight. It's a thick, rich, creamy butter with a nice smooth texture which feels really soothing when you apply it to the skin. It does take a while to fully absorb into the skin because of it's thick consistency. The scent is sweet and fruity with a little bit of zestiness to it that stops it from being overly sweet or sickly. It ...  Read the complete review
