I adore using products from the beautiful range of skincare products at The Body Shop, and in particular I am a big fan of the White Musk range of body care products, all of which carry the same beautiful musky scent that I adore. Several of my friends know that I am a big fan of The Body Shop in general, and I was lucky enough to receive some gorgeous toiletries from the brand for my birthday recently. One item presented to me was the White Musk Smooth Satin Body Lotion, and this review outlines my experience of using the product. Packaged in a tall, cylindrical bottle made of clear plastic, it is not difficult to see the liquid body lotion ...  Read the complete review

I have recently been trying out some of the Body Shop products and as I bought the white musk shower gel I decided I would buy the body lotion to accompany it. I love the white musk scent as it reminds me of when I used to buy it as a child. ~~PACKAGING~~ The body lotion comes in a clear plastic bottle which means you can see the white colour lotion inside and know exactly how much of the product you have left. The product name and the Body shop logo is on the front of the bottle and the back of the bottle has the product ingredients. The top of the bottle has a plastic flip ld which has a good sized hole in to allow the lotion to come ...  Read the complete review

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.

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. Musk History: Reference to musk did not appear until the 5th century, where it was recorded in use in India. Musk originally comes from the male glands of the musk deer, which is between the stomach and genitals. It is contained in a small pod, which is removed and dried. This pod is ...  Read the complete review

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
