L'Occitane Verbena Shower Gel

Given description:

Fresh, clean body shampoo loved equally by men and women. Each squeeze of the non-breakable plastic bottle releases the crisp, citrus scent of L'Occitane verbena. Essential oils of verbena, orange, geranium and lemon tree smooth and nurture even the most sensitive skin, and permeate the room with a winning aroma.

What caught me most about this product was the scent. This body gel smells extremely fresh, like lemongrass, citrus fruits, and lemon.




When used, my skin was left lightly perfumed and invigorated. I like the consistency of this gel too, light but not too liquidy. What was good about this was also the fact that it can be easily washed off and really refreshes you. Would be good after a long day perspiring and sweating under the sun.




The scent of this product is also pretty unisex. Guys can definitely use this without the fear of smelling too sweet like a woman.

Body Shop strawberry puree body lotion

Given Description:

A light, creamy and easily-absorbed all-over body moisturizer with sumptuously sweet strawberry scent, which helps condition, soften and smooth the skin. It contains strawberry extract and moisturizing Community Trade organic soy oil.

Pump a generous amount of lotion into your hand and smooth onto the skin. Apply after a bath or shower, as often as required.

Since I'm a fan of strawberries and it's scent, i had high expectations for this product. Sadly however, I was quite disappointed.


The lotion came out with a pretty good consistency, but after rubbing it all over my skin, it becomes sort of watery, like it's water-based or something. Anyway, i didn't like the way it spread at all, too thin and too watery. One good thing though, was that it was absorbed really quickly and left NO grease at all. Some moisturizing products claim to leave no greasy residue but they do, whereas for this, this doesn't at all. So you will have no trouble turning doorknobs, or leaving grease stains on seats when you sit down.




The scent wasn't really nice either. Too artificial, and had a weird smell.




Rating: ♥♥ It fulfils ita job as a moisturizer, and leaves no greasy residue, but I wouldn't recommend this nor would i buy this ever again.
