[Review] - THEBODYSHOP MANGO SHOWER, SCRUB & LUXURY GIFT SET

Okay everyone it's time for a good ol' review before I bombard you with Korea posts!

Today's review will be on the MANGO SHOWER, SCRUB & LUXURY GIFT set from THE BODY SHOP!

This set includes these 5 items that I will be writing more about below: Mango Body Scrub, Mango Body Butter, Mango Shower Gel, Mango Soap, and a loofah.

I would have liked to post this picture first but the other one was more eye-catching. This is what the gift set looks like closed.

And here it is when opened. Do you like the snow in the background? I thought it made a great contrast to the orange colours ∩(︶ᵕ︶)∩

Okay! Moving on to the first item - the

Mango Body Scrub (200 ml)

"This fruity body scrub contains real mango seed oil. It effectively exfoliates, leaving skin soft and smooth."

The consistency of this scrub is grainy yet very fine as there are no larger seeds as in the Cranberry Joy Body Polish from the Cranberry Joy Shower Scrub And Moisture Collection that I reviewed HERE. It's very greasy to the touch but will be absorbed into your skin faster than THE BODY SHOP's lemon scented scrub - which is a plus for me!

According to THE BODY SHOP, this scrub removes dead skin cells, stimulates microcirculation, and leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth. To start off, I'm nowhere near being a biologist or whoever deals with microcirculation and I won't pretend to know more about it than I do so I can't really comment on this part. It does however leave my skin nice and smooth so I'll agree with them on that and the point that it removed the dead skin cells. Right after coming out of the shower (and also while in the shower), my skin felt greasy from the oil but now ten minutes after, as my skin has absorbed it, it just feels soft. According to my mom it left a mild scent of mango - I couldn't tell it myself.

〜How to use〜
"Apply to damp skin in a circular motion, then rinse thoroughly. Use two to three times a week."

〜Ingredients〜
Octyl Palmitate (Emollient), Sucrose (Depilatory Agent), Sodium Chloride (Salt) (Viscosity Modifier), Helianthus annuus (Sunflower Seed Oil) (Emollient), Silica (Absorbent), Mangifera indica (Mango Seed Oil) (Emollient), Glycine soja (Soybean Oil) (Emollient/Skin Conditioner), Parfum (Fragrance), Benzyl Benzoate (Solvent), Phenoxyethanol (Preservative), Ricinus communis (Castor Oil) (Emollient), Hexyl Cinnamal (Fragrance Ingredient), Prunus dulcis (Sweet Almond Oil) (Emollient), Linalool (Fragrance Ingredient), Tocopherol (Antioxidant), Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane (Avobenzone) (Sunscreen), Amyl Cinnamal (Fragrance Ingredient), Limonene (Fragrance Ingredient), Capsicum frutescens (Capsicum Extract) (Natural Additive), Citral (Fragrance Ingredient), Eugenol (Fragrance Ingredient), Amylcinnamyl Alcohol (Fragrance Ingredient), Benzyl Alcohol (Preservative), Rosmarinus officinalis (Rosemary Extract) (Natural Additive), Methyl 2-Octynoate (Fragrance Ingredient), Propylparaben (Preservative), Anisyl Alcohol (Fragrance Ingredient), Farnesol (Fragrance Ingredient), Geraniol (Fragrance Ingredient), CI 77891 (Colour), CI 19140 (Colour).

Next up is the

Mango Body Butter (200 ml)

"Our super-rich and creamy Body Butter is a feast for the skin. It melts straight in to leave skin feeling soft and smooth. It contains Community Fair Trade cocoa butter and has an exotic mango scent."

This body butter is my favorite item of them all! It has a veeeeery soft consistency - like actual half melted butter but without the buttery smell or greasiness. It easily spreads across the skin and you won't need too much to cover your entire body.

I used this body butter on only one side of my body so that I could compare to the effect of the scrub. This product promises 24-hour hydration, that it's great for dry skin, and that it has an exotic mango scent. Sounds great, right? But does it live up to it? - The answer is yes, yes it does.

On the side of my body that I used the body butter on, my skins feels both smooth from the scrub AND hydrated. The mango scent is stronger than in the scrub and feels just slightly more perfumery although it's nothing noteworthy. As for the promise about being great for not just dry skin but very dry skin, I have to agree as well. For many, dry skin becomes the enemy #1 during winter and I always happen to be a victim of this - especially when applying BB cream. Yesternight I put some of the body butter on my face (don't apply too much or your face will get sticky) and 12 hours later my skin still felt hydrated.

〜How to use〜
"Massage into skin. Be generous! It works even better straight after a bath or shower."

〜Ingredients〜
Aqua (Water) (Solvent/Diluent), Mangifera indica (Mango Seed Oil) (Emollient), Prunus dulcis (Sweet Almond Oil) (Emollient), Theobroma cacao (Cocoa Butter) (Emollient), Glycerin (Humectant), Cyclomethicone (Emollient), Glyceryl Stearate (Emulsifier), PEG-100 Stearate (Surfactant), Cetearyl Alcohol (Emulsifier), Lanolin Alcohol (Stabiliser/Emollient), Phenoxyethanol (Preservative), Parfum (Fragrance), Methylparaben (Preservative), Propylparaben (Preservative), Xanthan Gum (Viscosity Modifier), Benzyl Alcohol (Preservative), Disodium EDTA (Chelating Agent), Hexyl Cinnamal (Fragrance Ingredient), Linalool (Fragrance Ingredient), Amyl Cinnamal (Fragrance Ingredient), Benzyl Benzoate (Solvent), Limonene (Fragrance Ingredient), Potassium Hydroxide (pH Adjuster), Sodium Hydroxide (pH Adjuster), Citral (Fragrance Ingredient), Eugenol (Fragrance Ingredient), Farnesol (Fragrance Ingredient), Geraniol (Fragrance Ingredient), Citronellol (Fragrance Ingredient), CI 75120 (Colour).

Mango Shower Gel (250 ml)

"This soap-free shower gel contains real mango seed oil and has a deliciously exotic scent."

The shower gel has a thin, liquid consistency like most of the shower gels from THE BODY SHOP but is thinner than their Chocomania Shower Cream.

This product should be soap-free, lather-rich, and contain an exotic mango scent. I was a little unsure what soap-free meant as shower gel is just.. liquid soap to me so I contacted THE BODY SHOP and asked them to clarify this. This was the response I got:
"A soap is a defined chemical material that is described as the salt of a fatty acid. Soaps tend to have a high pH and, with water, leaves soap foam in bathrooms and the skin may feel dry and taut. Soap is not a generic term for a cleaning / cleansing product, it is a specific chemical description of an ingredient type.

SLES or Sodium Laureth Sulphate, is not chemically pure soap, it is a sulfate surfactant. SLES cleanses the skin at a much lower pH and therefore leaves no soap foam in bathrooms when mixed with water, but more importantly, it is also considerably more gentle on the skin than soap without SLES.

The cosmetic and toiletries industry would classify a cleaning product as "soap-free" if it does not contains salt of a fatty acid, ie, a "soap" in chemical terms. SLES and soap are often confused because they essentially have the same purpose - they are being used to clean the skin. But they have very different properties with respect to how the skin feels, gentleness, pH, use and chemical composition, therefore the terminological difference is relevant. Being "soap free" is relevant to the people who think soap or other products based on products, which cause dryness, are unpleasant to use, but might find products made with other surfactants less annoying."

It's definitely lather-rich and the mango scent is very strong - stronger than in the body butter and also much sweeter in comparison. I fear that, without using the body butter afterwards, this gel would add to the dryness of my skin since my hands felt rather dry after washing my hands using it.

〜How to use〜

"Lather up in the bath or shower using hands or a bath lily. Rinse thoroughly."

〜Ingredients〜

Aqua (Water) (Solvent/Diluent), Sodium Laureth Sulfate (Surfactant), Glycerin (Humectant), Cocamidopropyl Betaine (Surfactant), Cocamide DEA (Surfactant), Coco-Glucoside (Surfactant), PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil (Emulsifier), Parfum (Fragrance), Phenoxyethanol (Preservative), Sodium Benzoate (Preservative), Citric Acid (pH Adjuster), Carthamus tinctorius (Safflower Oil) (Emollient), Limonene (Fragrance Ingredient), PEG-55 Propylene Glycol Oleate (Surfactant), Propylene Glycol (Humectant), Linalool (Fragrance Ingredient), Benzophenone-4 (Sunscreen), Hexyl Cinnamal (Fragrance Ingredient), Disodium EDTA (Chelating Agent), Mangifera indica (Mango (Mangifera Indica) Extract) (Natural Additive), Butylphenyl Methylpropional (Fragrance Ingredient), Citronellol (Fragrance Ingredient), Benzyl Alcohol (Preservative), Citral (Fragrance Ingredient), Geraniol (Fragrance Ingredient), CI 19140 (Colour), CI 15985 (Colour), CI 17200 (Colour).

Mango Soap (100g)

"This mango-scented soap gives a rich lather and leaves skin cleansed and refreshed."

I'm not a fan of hand soap, like I also mentioned last time I reviewed one, because I don't like the feeling it leaves my hands with - so this time I made my dad use it first! Muahahah! But then again.. reviewing a product without having tried it myself felt too dishonest so I sacrificed my hands and gave it a try.
This too should give a rich lather and have an exotic mango scent. Well, the lather was nowhere that of the shower gel and the smell was not mango but more of a citrus. As soon as the soap was washed off, all I could smell was a generic bar soap smell - no mango, no citrus whatsoever. BUUUUT my hands are softer now so that's a plus.

〜How to use〜
"Lather up in the bath or shower. Rinse thoroughly."

〜Ingredients〜
Sodium Palmate (Surfactant), Sodium Palm Kernelate (Surfactant), Aqua (Water) (Solvent/Diluent), Glycerin (Humectant), Sorbitol (Humectant), Palm Kernel Acid (Surfactant), Mangifera indica (Mango Seed Oil) (Emollient), Parfum (Fragrance), Limonene (Fragrance Ingredient), Linalool (Fragrance Ingredient), Hexyl Cinnamal (Fragrance Ingredient), Butylphenyl Methylpropional (Fragrance Ingredient), Tetrasodium EDTA (Chelating Agent), Tetrasodium Etidronate (Chelating Agent), Citronellol (Fragrance Ingredient), Benzyl Benzoate (Solvent), Citral (Fragrance Ingredient), Geraniol (Fragrance Ingredient), Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde (Fragrance Ingredient), CI 19140 (Colour), CI 17200 (Colour).


Then comes the last thing:

a bath lily

Aaaah, truly a majestic loofah! (I know bath lily is probably a more specific name but I like this word).
It's... made of plastic and doesn't have the slightest scent of mango. Not that it was supposed to, but it'd be cool, right? It has a cute colour though and fits perfectly into a hand and is thus very travel friendly - if you absolutely need a loofah when traveling, that is. I won't be bringing mine with me on my next trip though.


And that was is for my review! Thanks for reading! ｡＾ヮ＾｡
Have you tried this set? Would you buy it?

[Review] - THEBODYSHOP SPECIAL EDITION LIP & CHEEK DOLL

It's been half a lifetime since my last make-up review but today I'm back with a new one for y'all! Woop woop!!

Today's review is going to be on one of the presents that I received  when I graduated last month - the SPECIAL EDITION LIP & CHEEK DOLL from THE BODY SHOP.

*Please note that this doll version was a limited edition packaging that came out during Christmas 2014 and has probably sold out online already on many websites. However, you might still be able to find it in a local store - just like my friends did even though it's summer here.

In case you are unable to find this version you can always get their LIP AND CHEEK STAIN instead which, according to THE BODY SHOP, is very similar and gives the same effect. I have yet to try that product but from what I have observed, the only difference would be the packaging and that the normal version seems to have a more watery texture (and perhaps lack the sparkles).

〜Packaging & Size〜

The container is about 4,5 cm wide and 6,5-7 cm tall and contains 28 ml product (0.9 US fl oz). I am completely in love with the packaging and it seems that THE BODY SHOP was not just inspired by the idea of gradient lips but also by the way many Asian cosmetic brands appeal to their customers with cute packaging. I see why others could find the size a bit troublesome given that you cannot put it in your wallet and bring with you everywhere but for me it's not a problem - I have it in my shoulder bag and there's still leftover space.

〜Colour & Durability〜
The colour is a beautiful blood red that looks looks good even on pale skin. The tint also has tiny gold sparkles as seen in the picture below. These are only visible close up though and don't add any significant shine or sparkle to the overall look. I feel like it looks more and more pink as it wears off but my lips are naturally very pigmented and the effect could very well be different on you.
It's pigmented but in order for me to get the desired gradient look I'll have to apply 2-3 layers. It takes 2-3 layers as well to show up properly on my cheeks.

Compared to other tints I've tried, this one does not stay on as long. It gradually wears off throughout the day and I will often have to reapply after having eaten - especially if I have something to drink with my food since since it seems to wear off quicker once your lips get wet.

〜Texture〜
The texture of this product is as thick as your average lip gloss and compared to the other tint that I reviewed, the Love Fairy Tint Glow Lipstick from Peripera, I feel like this could just as well be a lipgloss with a tinting effect.

〜Application〜

The fuzzy applicator

Lips:
THE BODY SHOP writes that when applying the tint you should put some on the center of your lips and dab it outwards with one of your fingers. When applying it this way I feel like too much of the product is getting on my fingertip rather than my lips so, in case of a gradient look, I apply the tint on the center of my lips and press them together a few times to avoid waste. If I want a full lip look I apply the tint as if it was a lipgloss. However, because of the texture, you'd have to be careful doing it this way since it's a bit harder to make a precise outline. Also, if you apply too much your lips can get sticky.

 Natural lips

 Gradient (only applied to the center of lips)

Fully covered

Cheeks:
In case of a clean, make-up free face, dab the tint on your cheeks 1-3 times using the applicator and use a finger to spread it out; whether you dab it out or move the finger in circular motions is up to you, though I prefer the latter.
If you want to wear make-up, use the tint AFTER BB creme/foundation and BEFORE powder. Applying it like before would easily get other make-up products on the applicator and make it super gross - especially when you're going to use it on the lips again. Instead, put the tint on the back of your hand and use your finger to dab it onto your cheeks.

Make-up free                                                                   3 layers

〜Ingredients〜
Aqua, Glycerin, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Phenoxyethanol, Panthenol, Methylparaben, Mica, Aminomethyl Propanol, Tin Oxide, CI 172000/Red 33, CI 19140/Yellow 5, CI 77891/Titanium Dioxide, CI 77491/Iron Oxides.

Pros: 
• Multiple uses
• Looks fine on dry lips (neither dries nor moisturizes them)
• Adorable packaging
• Good for building up intensity
• Looks good on pale skin too (red can often be a problem for us)

Cons: 
• Packaging might be impractical (it's round)
• Wears off gradually when eating/drinking
• Too much product will cause lips to become sticky temporarily

Would I recommend it?
Yea definitely! The size doesn't bother me and several friends have commented on it and asked if they could try it. I have to say that I prefer tints with a thinner texture though but seeing as it's also meant for the cheeks, I'm okay with it being like this. I especially like using this tint all over my lips because it's not as POW-in-your-face as an actual lipstick, meaning I could wear this to school and for outings without being accused of 'being too pretty for the occasion'.

Have you tried this? Or perhaps the normal, non-special edition version?
Would you get it?

Thank you, ladies (Monika, Karoline, Mette, and Maria) for the present!

[Review] - Cranberry Joy Shower Scrub And Moisture Collection

Hello everybodiiiiiiiiies! ^o^

Merry Christmas! Feliz navidad! Frohe Weihnachten! Glædelig Jul! สุขสันต์วันคริสมาสต์!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with friends and families (or perhaps you went on adventures in foreign countries like several of my friends did) :O

This year I mostly got money because I had told my family that I preferred experiences over materialistic gifts. I did get a few things however, and one of them was from my little brother Frederik (Thanks again!).
He had bought me the Cranberry Joy Shower Scrub And Moisture Collection from THE BODY SHOP.

I thought the set was super cute and I really wanted to share with you my experience of it, so here you go. My review!

Description:

Enjoy the fruity, limited-edition scent of cranberry from top to toe with this pampering box set

Cleanse your skin with the shower gel or soap. Exfoliate with the body scrub and help seal the moisture with the body butter.

Inside are four wonderful limited edition items:

• The Cranberry Joy Shower Gel
• The Cranberry Joy Heart Soap
• The Cranberry Joy Body Scrub
• The Cranberry Joy Body Butter

Cranberry Joy Shower Gel 

"This gentle, soap-free shower gel has a festive cranberry fragrance. It’s a limited edition, created just for Christmas."

I followed their advice and started out with the gel. It had a very strong and fruity smell. I can't tell if it really did smell like cranberry since I've never smelled those, but it was nice indeed. They say that for a more foamy result, you can use a loofah to apply it. I didn't know this before I used it but using your hands will work just fine as well.
My skin was left clean and soft.

Cranberry Joy Heart Soap

"This limited-edition heart soap makes a great stocking filler. It has a fruity cranberry fragrance and contains ground walnut shell."

I'm not a big fan of hand soap, if I may call it that, and have never been; therefore, I can't say much about this one. Instead of using it in my shower, I used it to wash my left hand a little earlier today. It is softer than my right hand and also smoother. Once again I'm not sure about the exfoliating part, I'll leave that to the body butter. 

The scent from this is not as strong as from the other items and when washed off, it leaves more of a clean scent than of cranberries (or perhaps my nose has just gone finally numb).

Cranberry Joy Body Polish

"This limited-edition festive body exfoliator is gentle enough to use every day. It removes dead skin cells, leaving skin feeling softer and smoother, and has a fruity cranberry fragrance. It leaves a natural Christmas glow."

Like the gel, the polish also had a very liquid consistency. It contained what looks like little seeds.

After using the gel, it said to apply the body polish. I believe a body polish is different from a body scrub because it is so gentle. It left my skin super smooth and very soft. I'm not so sure about the exfoliation part though...

The minor red grains didn't scrape like they would in a body scrub. The smell was a little more sour than the gel, which didn't impress me. I did, however, like how it didn't leave my skin greasy-like like my lemon body scrub does. 

Cranberry Joy Body Butter

"Our iconic Body Butter in a limited-edition festive fragrance. It melts straight in to leave skin feeling softer and smoother."

Last step was the body butter. 

Since the consistency was so thick, I had to apply a bit to cover my whole body. It probable won't last long if I have to use that much every time.

It says to seal the moisture within your skin and leave it moisturized up to 24 hours. My plan was to write this review yesterday as that was the day I used these products but here, 24 hours and 45 minutes later, my skin still feels super soft and moisturized. THAT sure was a surprise!
My skin feels soft and smooth and my mom constantly tells me how nice I smell (my pyjamas that I wore all day after showering yesterday also has a strong scent). Even though you might not smell it after half an hour, everybody else will.
It smells better on than in the little container so don't let that fool you. A big plus is also how this does NOT feel greasy and sticky on the skin after application, I guess because it really does "melt" into your skin. 

~~~

Overall I really liked the set and I think it's pretty cool how it's limited to only be sold around Christmas time. I do like the scent but I think it'd be a little too strong for my every day life. Maybe others will be able to pull it off but it wouldn't fit me that well. For Christmas and big events I think it's great! It adds that one extra little thing to make your appearance complete~
If you think this sound like something you'd like to try, don't hesitate to go get it!

I also reviewed the Cranberry Joy Lip Balm if you are interested in more products from the series. You can find the post about it HERE

[Review] - Cranberry Joy Lip Balm

This review is delayed by a week or so... I was supposed to do a review on it the day after I bought it but then it hit me that I'm quite hung up by 4-5 assignments that had to be done and therefore my schedule was pushed a little > <
Anyways, today I want to do a review on my new Cranberry Joy lip balm which is part of The Body Shop Holiday 2013 collection.


I'm really happy about Body Shop because all their products seem to natural to me (and because they always give me recycled paper bags).
My friend Balslev and I went shopping one day and as we were sitting at McDonald's, she pulled out this little beauty. She let me try it and I was sold, I HAD to get one!

The balm is hard so it will take long before it is used up completely (I can't help but to worry about what happens when I've used it so much that the "dome"-shape is gone). It gives off a rather strong but nice smell that is half-fruity-half-artificial. I can't tell if it actually smells like cranberries since I've never smelled those ... sorry ㅠㅠ

This is my own actual photo of it.. the first one seem too Photoshop'd if you ask me. It measures about 3,8∙3,8∙3,8 cm (3,8 cm = 1.5 inch) and it seem like a lot of it is the actual product itself.

It comes in 3 different "flavours"; cranberry, ginger, and vanilla. Since mine is so dark, it also gives off a bit of colour. What I really like is that it is not a "thick" layer of colour, but a subtle tint that leaves the lips look natural and with a tiny hint of shimmer (My lips look HORRIFYING with red'ish lipsticks hence this is a big plus for me). I can't tell of the other two will give off colour though.. 

What disappointed me a little was that it did NOT moisturize my lips. During the holiday season, they tend to chap like crazy so I really need something that will keep them moisturized. Although it does add moisture it DOES prevent my lips from becoming more dry.

Pros:

• Won't be used up quickly
• Has a nice smell
• Gives off a nice soft red colour
• Stays on for quite some time even when you eat

Cons:

• Does not moisturize
• Mid pricey

Would I buy it again?

I have nothing against this lip balm but as long as it doesn't moisturize, I'm afraid it might not be enough for me when December comes. My friends, however, are completely in love with it and always ask if they can borrow it. I DO love how it adds colour without being too much so perhaps I'll just combine it with a normal chap stick to get the effect of moisturized AND pretty lips~ 

[Review] - Bodyshop's Chocolate Heart

As promised I'm back with yet a review!
My review will be on the Chocolate Heart gift box from Bodyshop!

Have you ever walked into one of their stores and, after going through the entire collection of fruity-smelling lotions and soaps, stopped right in front of one of these and thought to yourself:

"I wonder if I should try one of these once"

I have! 

To be fair, Bodyshop isn't exactly the cheapest store, but the clean look and promises about natural ingredients makes me come back almost every time I'm downtown.

I always take a look at these boxes but walk away when I see the price (poor student here hahah).

"Is it worth it? What if I don't like it? Will I have wasted half my money on stuff I will never use?"

But we all have to take chances once in a while!

Let's get to the pictures~

The package is a thin metal box and with a brown bow wrapped around it (sorry, I took that off)

It measures about 5.5*18* 20.5 cm

The heart contains 4 different items that I will all try to describe as well as possible :)

To make sure that the little containers would stay neatly in place, they put in a big piece of hard plastic

The first thing I was to show you is the smallest one: the Lip Butter (aka lip balm)

(No this is not low picture quality, that is just how the lid looks)

So the lip butter was the first thing I tried. 

The smell wasn't as chocolatey as I had expected, actually it smelled more like nutella with extra extra hazelnuts! 

Don't you just love the look of unused lipbalms?

It has a rather "hard" consistence and you have to warm it up a little with your finger before you can actually apply it to your lips.

You won't be able to apply much at a time so it will definitely last for long.

When applied to my lips, it left a kind of pearly shimmery effect (Nothing too bad! Usually I don't like that stuff but this looked really nice). Other than that it was completely transparent but it transformed my lips after just a few seconds of being on. My lips looked MUCH healthier.. as in.. I have never seen them look so soft before.. ever.. so that's for sure a plus!

Even though it smells like hazelnut, DO NOT EAT IT! It might smell good but the taste is a mix of perfume and caramel (weird since it's chocolate).

Also, it doesn't last THAT long on so if you use this, make sure to bring it with you if you go somewhere.

Next thing up is the Chocolate Body Scrub!

This one too has a strange design... the picture on the lid looks as if it was taken by a low quality camera.

When I first grabbed the container with it, I realized that it had leaked a little. This is completely normal as the body scrub sometimes "parts" into the harder part and the oily part.

This is what it looked like when I first opened it. I took my finger and mixed it up a little and soon it was as good as new!

It looks like porridge! hahah

So the body scrub is also really nice, however, it doesn't smell that much like chocolate. The scent isn't very "strong" if you can say so... but it has a certain "freshness" about it. For some reason it made me think of lemons. When you rub it on (I did it on my leg) it feels like a softer version of sandpaper or... imagine going to the beach and drying your body with  a towel that has just been laying in the sand. 

When you have rubbed it in, your will be able to see the tiny little grains of whatever was in it. 

After use, my leg felt MUCH smoother and super soft! (In the beginning it also gave me a rather oily look as if I had just applied lotion). I think this is perfect for (rather) newly shaved legs as it will give them that finish touch! (Just don't do it right after shaving, I think it'll hurt!)

+ even after you've washed it off, there will still be a slight smell of chocolate (Yes, NOW it actually smells a little bit of chocolate)

Third item is the Body Butter!

This one had a much nicer lid!

This did not smell like chocolate AT ALL! Instead it had a smell like a typical fresh soap.

As you can see, it's thicker than normal lotion.. more like butter, hence the name.

There are no clumps at all and it spreads out very very easily on the skin. Like melting butter on bread!

It made my skin look a LOT more hydrated + it made it slightly more soft :)

My skin was left healthy looking without the least feeling of being sticky or greasy.

The last item is the Chocomania Shower Cream!

I would say that this smells more of caramel than of chocolate.. like the caramel sauce you put on ice cream!

It is runny like normal body- and hand soap and has a cute pearly shimmer to it :)

Nothing much to say about this one. Even after being washed off, it will leave your skin with a very nice scent of caramel.

These were my thoughts on the Chocolate Heart gift box from Bodyshop!

I probably wouldn't buy it again but how about you? Have you ever tried it yourself?

If not, would you consider buying it? Why/why not?

Leave a comment! :)
