    This is the first time i ever used any sort of body butter, now i might actually switching from lotion to this!
    It added a thicker coat to my skin after applying than any other lotions. My skin used to be dry and flaky, but with the butter it has improved so much.
    This product actually looks like butter and has a great feel to it. It also has a unique refreshing scent to it.
    I would definately buy this product again it makes my skin feel amazing

    Love this product~!

    It works really well on dry skin and it leaves your skin soft and moist til the next morning. Also, the smell is great! For $20, this pot would last you quite a while because you don't need to slab on a lot for it to take effect.

    As for the drawbacks like long absorbing time and the smell becoming really strong after you put it on your whole body, just put on a thin layer. That should do the job because it's really thick, you really don't need a whole lot. As for the smell, you can't really do anything about it unless you want to open some windows to let the smell air out in the middle of winter.

    So any complaining boyfriends you just have to remind them how much they love touching your skin after you put it on!

    Wow. I have never used Body Shop Body Butters... until now. It`s amazing. It has a super nice texture, it`s absorbes sooo nicely and quick, it hydrates so well, it smells so good and it just feels right. My biggest problem with most body lotions, even the organic or home made, natural ones, is that I get irritated, and I break out, especially on my shoulders and back. This has to be the first product that hydrated and nourished e skin, without any side effects.
    I loved the texture and I loved the smell. It`s a really really wonderful product. I can`t believe the feel of it... I just wish I knew about it before.
    A must have.

    I've never used body butter before but my skin gets very dry in the winter so I thought I'd give it a try. I think his product is very good for dry skin!

    As a "butter" its consistency is much thicker than lotion, in fact, it's a butter-like consistency :P It did take me a bit to get used to scraping it out of the container as opposed to pumping it out like I normally do with lotion. I also found that I had to rub a little more in to get into my skin. The result was that my skin felt very hydrated. I used it in the morning and at night (after I shower) and find that does a really good job and I don't feel that I need to moisturize again during the day.

    I really like the smell of this too. For some Body Shop items I find the smells are too much but this was a bit more subtle. So it smells good but isn't too overwhelming.

    The only thing I don't like about this product is it's price, $20. For me, that's a lot to spend on a lotion. But I don't need to use too much on my skin so it'd last quite a long time. If I were to buy this again I'd probably just use it on my extremely dry areas - feet, hands and sometimes legs, just so I don't waste a product this expensive on other parts of my body that don't need it.

    After only using this product for a few days I noticed a significant improvement to the texture of my skin, as it is now smoother and more supple. There are no dry flakes in sight, and I am happy that this lotion worked so quickly and efficiently! I have received many compliments on how soft my hands are and I have also been asked what lotion I use because the scent of it is appealing.

    I also like the texture of this product as it is more solid than other more liquid forms of body lotions. It is easier to apply, as I have had many annoying experiences with pouring out too much watery lotions! The packaging of this product is classy and a convenient size to fit in a medium-sized handbag, which is where I leave mine so I can use it whenever I'm on the go.

    I would definitely recommend this product. Though I've used other lotions that have had similar effects, I like the aesthetic appeal to this product as well as the scent. I encourage you to splurge on this little piece of luxury! Your skin will thank you.

    This is my favourite beauty product I've bought in forever! It has a warm, natural smell that's not overpowering. A little goes a long way, and when I put it on before bed, my hands are still soft in the morning. I've even got my boyfriend addicted!

    Since ChickAdvisor sent me a new tub (I was overjoyed!), I decided to go wild and try this product on my whole body. The verdict? Still good, but because the moisturizing is so intense, your body is a little tacky for a while. I think I'd use the Shea Butter mostly for hands and feet, and stick to a faster absorbing lotion for the general bod.

    Oh, and as for my boyfriend's addiction, it's still going strong. He might even use it more than I do!
