I have not tried the Shea Body Butter from the Body Shop but I am a huge fan of the body butter in general. I am one who struggles with dry skin and I love how soft and smooth my skin is after I use body butter. I am a huge fan of the Coconut or Mango during the summer months and am currently using the cranberry one for more of the winter. I also have a small papaya body butter container at work for just my hands, I am not the hugest fan of that scent but it does soften up my hands!

I received this product as a part of the review club (thank you!!). I love the quality of the body butter. It is so thick and luxurious, it moisturizes so well, especially in the winter. I am pregnant right now and my skin has been so itchy, the shea body butter really helps relieve the itch. I find it keeps my skin hydrated all day long. I don't love the scent of this product. I find it quite masculine, but the benefits of it outweigh my dislike for the scent. I will most likely buy another body butter from the Body Shop, but in a different scent.

I received the Body Shop Body Shea Body Butter from Chick Advisor (thanks!). I first noticed the smell and how good it was! I like the fact that the smell stays for a while - not just fade. I dont particularly like the consistency of the body butter as it is very thick, however, when you apply the body butter it rubs in quite nicely and a little goes a long way. I like how this is not overly greasy and leaves your skin feeling so silky! I find that you can apply this every other day as it really gives your skin moisture that it holds on to. After using this product for a week I notice a huge difference in the way my skin feels - and I dont have anymore dry skin!

I would absolutely recommend this product to someone who suffers from dry skin and I will definately be buying more once I run out.

Thanks again, Chick Advisor!

I received this product to review as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club, and have been using it for the past week. The Body Shop's Shea Body Butter is rich and creamy without any greasy feeling after it has been applied to your skin. This is a great product, particularly for the harsh winter weather that is setting in. My skin is always extra dry between December and April so I am always in search for something that will help to keep my skin soft, smooth and moisturized.

What I love most about the Shea Body Butter: makes my skin feel super-soft and hydrated! I would definitely recommend this for anyone looking for an easy to use product that will leave skin feeling pampered, moisturized and soft.

I don't mind the smell. In fact, I love the way that shea butter has a distinctive scent. However, it can overpower the smell of your perfume so this product is best used in the evenings unless you don't typically wear perfume during the day.

My winter skin tip: before bed, generously massage your feet with a small dollop of The Body Shop's Shea Body Butter, then put on a pair of comfy old socks before going to sleep. Wake up with soft, smooth skin.

Thank you to the body shop for sending me this product.

I would like to say that while I would not use this product in the future, it is more because of the form it comes in than the product itself.

I have extremely dry skin, and I did find that it made my body feel very silky. It's odour is not unpleasant at all either. However, I much. much prefer a pump bottle than a container that I have to use my fingers to get it out. I just find it much easier with a squeeze or a pump.

So, as I said while I wouldn't personally buy it again, I would recommend it to others that were looking to try something new

I could not stop sniffing it cause it smells amazing and since I'm pregnant, I am VERY picky when it comes to smell!!!!!!!!! I've never tried a body butter before so I was really impressed. It's great for winter because it makes your dry skin smooth and moisturized! Luckily for me, I can also use it on my growing belly! :)
It has a thick consistency so a little goes a long way - so it really is worth the price.
I would recommend this product for anyone - especially during winter cause you know how the cold makes your skin feel!

I really liked this product, Thanks Chickadvisor!!!!!!!!! It is the only body butter that made my skin feel smooth, and moisturized. My skin was dry and flaky but after I used I noticed a difference after just a few times I put it on. The products looks and feels great, and I would definitely buy it again and I recommend it for anyone who has dry skin. :)

I got this product to review through the review club (thanks chick advisor!) and I really like it.
It makes your skin amazingly smooth and really works on dry skin too. It absorbs quite well for a body butter and is not sticky or overly greasy. I find that with this product I can even skip a few days because I find that the softness stays since it really is moisturizing.
At first I was not really into the scent, but I have found that is has grown on me the more that I have used it. i will defiantly buy the body shop body butter again, but I will pick a different scent (like wild cherry!)

I received the Body Shop Shea Body Butter via Product Review Club. I absolutely loved this body butter. It feels luscious on your skin, and it does not become sticky. Usually with other body butters, I have the problem of stickiness. But with this body butter, the application is smooth and my skin soaks up the product quickly and effectively. I have been using it for a while now and my skin has already changed. It feels soft and moisturized even without the butter. I will absolutely buy the Shea Body Butter again. I found only one con in this product: it's masculine scent. It smells like men's cologne a bit and it was a bit of an annoyance in the beginning, but I got used to it and found that spraying perfume on myself made the smell disappear whilst still gaining all the benefit of moisturizing and hydrating. Everyone needs to try this product out, especially for rough patches on elbows, knees and legs.

QUICK TIP: If you are going to wear anything that bares your legs or skin, mix the body butter with a tad of bronzer. The color from the bronzer and the luminous shine that comes from the body butter gives you amazing results, making your skin look flawless and gives it a glow.

Have fun with your Shea Body Butter, girls! Enjoy!

Thanks product review club and The Body Shop for sending me this product to review! I've always been a big supporter of The Body Shop because of their community trade program, natural ingredients, and high quality products.
I've been using this product for about a week. The Shea Body Butter works great for dry skin. This time of year is when my skin is the most dry. The butter is a very thick consistency so a little goes a far way. I really liked this especially for my knees and heels, it was amazing how much it healed these especially dry areas! The product sinks into your skin and my skin stayed moisturized all day.
I didn't really like the smell. I agree with the others who have said it is slightly masculine. The other butters I have tried had a much better smell. However, it's not extremely strong and I usually just used the product before bed anyway.
I have seen many competitor body butters who have tried to copy The Body Shop- and those definately do not compare. If your looking for a body butter this is definately worth the price. When this runs out, I'll definately purchase another one- but probably in a different scent! (The mango smells delicious!)
