The Body Shop White Musk Smooth Satin Body Lotion

Ever since the 1980s I've loved the smell of musk when it was probably at the height of it's popularity - don't get me wrong - I don't use it all the time but there's something quite comforting about wearing products which smell of musk. I think it's a kind of Marmite thing - some people hate the smell whilst others, like me, love it. I also love Body Shop products so was really pleased to receive a set of Musk products for Christmas last year. Mine is 125ml but you can also buy it in 250ml (around £9) or 400ml (around £12) which is pretty good value because it lasts ages because you only need a little to get the full benefit of the ...  Read the complete review

There is something about the smell of musk that is just seductive, this I hope has nothing to do with its history, but rather to the strong and deep intoxicating smell, that has captivated so many of us. In this review I will describe my experience with the Body Shop White Musk lotion, but just to get you some background will tell you a little about musk's past.

19 years (can't believe I've just gone back that long oh my word!) I was 15 years old. I attended an all girls school and one of the biggest memories I have was one of nausea. Not just because I hated school with a passion but the sights and smells I can remember from back then. To be part of the in crowd you had to wear about 5 pairs of socks all pushed down to the ankle like slouch socks to be anyone worthy of hanging round with. Caught with a blazer you were a total square. Wearing the tie properly meant you were a nerd and if your school bag wasn't a head bag well life could be made hell for you. We all looked the same with our hair in scrunchies and slicked back by ...  Read the complete review

White Musk is a really popular fragrance as it is subtle and doesn't overpower everyone around you. This product is part of a range with perfume, deodorants etc and i think it makes a great gift for a mum or nan. The packaging is simple and understated like the scent and it's easy to get out as you simply just squeeze it onto your hands. It's very light and quite runny which means a little goes a long way although i wouldn't say it was a particularly good moisuturiser especially if you need something richer for dry skin this wouldn't be ideal. As mentioned it's part of a range so it might be a good moisturiser for when you are heading out of an evening and want to ...  Read the complete review
