The Body Shop's Ginger Sparkle body butter was a bit of a surprise. For cute packaging with a picture of a gingerbread man, I expected it to smell like gingerbread. Instead it smells like ginger beer. Kind of a fizzy scent, but I like it! The packaging screams Christmas and after I finish using the body butter, the case would be cute as a storage container.
The colour is like a bubble gum pink, and almost feels like the consistency of hair product. When rubbed into my skin (my arms were the test subject), it softened and moisturised.
I did this while getting ready for work and forgot about it until I was under some downlights. There is the faintest shimmer, but not chunks of glitter. Just looks like a pretty glow on my skin and now it has settled into my skin it smells like gingerbread men. It smells nice, but it's subtle, which is good, as I don't like to draw attention to myself with overpowering scents. I am currently wearing Taylor Swift's 'Wonderstruck' over the top and the layering of scents has worked well in this case.
I bought the body butter off eBay, as The Body Shop Australia is ridiculously expensive. The Body Shop USA is more reasonably priced, however shipping to Australia is ridiculously expensive. I think wearing this over my regular moisturiser Nivea Soft is a better option for going out and the summer weather, as it's not as greasy as the Nivea.
You can buy me here!
Haha have to say I'm mildly disappointed it's not gingerbread because I LOVE gingerbread but hey I'll deal with it ;)
ReplyDeleteIt smells like gingerbread once it melts into the skin ;)
