Ahhh, Papaya Body Butter, the one I was so desperate to get my hands on that I almost ordered off of the British site and payed in pounds. But then I found it in the German store...and on the online USA Body Shop website. But anywho, I payed ten euro for it, which is about twelve bucks.
The Body Shop claims:
An intensive, creamy all-over body moisturizer. It absorbs into the skin easily, helping to condition, soften and smooth the skin providing up to 24 hours non-stop moisturization.
Scent:
Upon first sniff I found that this smells extremely similar to the Passionfruit Body Butter. But at the same time it smells a lot like the shower gel, perhaps not as fruity. I would recommend this one over the Passionfruit scent. The scent though doesn't really stick to me and is gone in less than twenty minutes. Another thing is that I find that when I rub it in it's not as fruity as when sniffing from the pot..but that could be my body chemistry. Also important to note, I don't think this smells like a real papaya but I've only had the fruit once, IMO this smells better.
Moisturization:
Pretty nice. It lasts quite awhile but it does take a minute to sink in but not to the point that it bothers me. I really like the consistency too. It's thick but when I rub it into my palms it transforms into a light almost whipped texture. Note that this one is for normal skin, but I think it would work for moderately dry skin.
Packaging:
Orange is my favortie color so of course I love the packaging. Some people have problems with it being in a pot because of "hygiene" concerns but I just use it when my hands are clean so it doesn't bother me.
Would I recommend? If you really love fruity scents and your not bothered by the fact the scent won't stick around.
