Advantages: makes your skin oh so soft!

Disadvantages: too sweet for me

I love body butters and believe that the Body Shop ones are the best. This in mind I thought I would try another of their range and plumped for Strawberry! I bought it for £12.50 from Amazon using my vouchers hurrah so at least if it turned out to be a disappointment I wouldn't have lost any real money!

I bought the big 200g tub which is a dark red with strawberries on the top. The actual butter is a light pink colour. As soon as you open the lid you get a whiff of the strawberries and cream. This reminds me rather of those strawberries and cream lollies you can buy so pleasent but a little artifical perhaps.

The consistency of the body butter is the same as the others being very thick and buttery. Indeed you can open the pot hold it upside down and none will drop out. I then normally get a largish dollop and put it on my legs and feet and spread it all over. This is when the smell really comes out and I'm starting to think smells REALLY sweet! It does feel lovely once it has melted onto your skin though making your legs (or whatever bit you have put it on) feel soft. The fragrance also lingers for ages!

So would I buy this again....I'm not sure to be honest. My little girl loves it but I think it is a little too sweet smelling for me and in the future i'll stick to the less scented ones!

Summary: A very sweet smelling body butter
