Japanese Cherry Blossom Bath & Shower Gel - The Body Shop - Review

Showing here is the 60mL travel size version, but if you have been following me... you would know I have also purchased the full 250mL size after trying this!

I recceived this as part of a Christmas gift with a few other things - you know those packs they have on special occasions all packed up? This can with the body lotion as well, whcih I will review at a later time :)

Smell

Lovely!! Very nice & not too strong or overpowering

Texture

Runny, just like a shower gel should be

Does the smell last on your skin after the shower?

Not sure, because I moisturise after... but after I get out of the shower I can smell a hint of the shwoer gel. I think unless you use a lot of this gel, you will not be smelling it on yourself all day because I have said, it is a nice and light fraganced gel.

Are there other products in this line?

Yes!

Do I have them?

Yes! I have the body lotion, body mist, and the eau de toilette!!

Do I like the scent?

Yes!

Will I repurchase this particular shower gel?

I have an unopened 250mL bottle of this in my beauty stash so safe to say I have repurchased it, however, because it is relatively expensive in Australia... with NO SALES!!!!!! I think i may have to pass on this in the future - unless I receive it as gifts because it is just a but too pricey for my budget at the moment. However, if you can afford it, I would recommend you give it a try, at least once! :D

Have you tried this before?

Did you like it?

I Smell Like Peaches?? The Body Shop Peach Body Butter Review

Talk about smelling like a full on peach!!

How?

Slather this stuff on!!!!

200mL

Packaging:

Comes in a tub (twist/screw tub) - I'm not a huge fan of these tub things... I am more of a tub - squeeze kinda girllll... but hey, these looked cool, and Jennifer Lopez raves on how she loves these (but in Coconut? Or cocoa? Or something... not sure haha... do you guys know?) so I thought I'd gives these a go. I purchased this & also a Guava one... will review when I use!

Product:

butter = cream = thick

Moisturising?

Yes!! Great for winter! :)

Greasy?

No, not at all! I find it is not a super fast absorbed but not slow... so yea... not sticky & it feels alright...

How is the smell?

YES, you can smell it! It can be a bit much if you have a headache and want to put it all over your body. I would recommend in low dosages if you get headaches over scents easily.

Will I repurchase?

Not this scent, but I would be willing to try other scents in the same line if I found them intersting or nice smelling! I can look past the packaging haha...

 

Have you tried these body butters before?

Did you like them?

Perfume/Fragrance Atomisers & The Body Shop Sprays Review

I never really bothered wearing fragrance that much because I just don't have the time. And the fragrance doesn't seem to last all day either.

I really wanted something small and compact to bring with me in case I needed a quick spritz as a pick me up or if I forgot to put fragrance on that day!


Pics of these CUTE atomisers/atomizers I picked up at The Perfume Connection:

They are sprays:

You unscrew the bottom & pour/spray your perfume in it!

What did I put in mine?



How did I like the atomizers?

Love the packaging! They are about 10mL each so they are compact & small.

The cons - if you are pouring fragrance in, the salesperson says "you just spray your perfume into the tube until you have enough". Umm... no thank you... how long will that take? I bought them because I was going to use... TBS Morocan Rose & Japanese Cherry Blossom Body Mists in them!

Have I used the atomisers yet?
Nope... and I bought them before Christmas!

I just haven't been anywhere, but when I'm out & about I think I'll bring them with me!

TBS Morocan Rose Body Mist

I didn't really like this smell that much until I used it yesterday! Prior to that I had used it a handful of times but just never really liked the musky smell. Now I do like it! :)

Overall Rating: 3.5/5

TBS Japanese Cherry Blossom Body Mist

Love at first sniff! Fresh, feminine & young-feeling! lol

Overall Rating: 5/5

What are your fave body mists?
I'd love to try Victoria Secrets'! But I don't think they are available in Australia?
