I messed up...this morning when I woke up I was looking forward to sleeping. But then I drank a quart of caffeinated tea. And I'm caffeine sensitive so I'll probably be up until Tuesday. Whoops. But I'm killing some of the next 36 hours by blogging. About Body Butter. I used to be a little obsessed with these body butters. I tried to get my hands on all of them back in the day. Then I moved on. But then I thought about the hemp hand cream which is magical if your hands are dry. I couldn't find it in store. But I did see a mini tub of the this..so it went home with me.

My favorite body butter is the Almond one. I don't think they make it anymore..but it was THE BEST. I was thinking back to how much I liked that one and figured I would try this one out. Because..almond. This one doesn't smell as good as the Almond one...but it's really nice. It's a very calming and comforting scent. I definitely get the "almond milk" but it smells much better. Maybe I get a hint of honey. But I'm not sure if I'm just picking it up because I know it's supposed to smell like honey. If that makes sense. Anyway..I really do like the scent. And how much it sticks around and scents my room up in a very gentle way.
As for moisturizing...eh. It's fine if I'm going to stay in the house. But I don't feel it's moisturizing enough in the cold weather. My skin gets a little dry when I leave the house. Maybe good for normal skin in fall weather...but not so great once it's cold and if you skin is on the drier side.
The texture is nice. Absorbs easily and not greasy at all. It's not a thick butter..but more like a cream.
But perfect before bed (because it smells so good) and I don't need so much heavy hydration before bed.
It's interesting that it is made in Germany. All the body butters I bought back in the day were made in the UK.
The 1.7 ounce was six dollars and the 6.9 ounce is regularly $21.00. Way overpriced but they always seem to have a sale.
I like that the Shea Butter is fair trade. It's nowhere near natural.
