I don't really remember which set this shower gel came in. I probaby bought it for less than RM10 to meet the minimum spend etc.
Like other Body Shop shower gels, this one is easy to lather (but not alot of bubbles or foam). No issue in rinsing it off too.
What i love best about it was its scent. Reminds me of something very exotic. Like, on a vacation to a breezy place.
This just arrived today..
The Body Shop is having a sale on their webstore. I was in luck as my favourite White Musk Body Mist is on 70% off :D
They charge a flat rate of RM10 for shipping by PosLaju.
Shipping took about 3 days (excluding weekends); and came properly sealed. No spillage and I immediately took a whiff.
Ooh I love the Passion Fruit Shower Gel! I love Body Shop shower gels and would usually buy when they are on sale. I checked the web again today and these shower gel is no longer offered :S
I also picked up:

Nett Wt: 250ml
Scent: Very watermelon!
Price: RM29.90
Body Shop's shower gels are usually a "luxury" for me. I know for shower a normal bar soap would do just well, but there's something about indulging in yummy scented body washes...
I got this when they have a buy one free one promotion. RM29.90 for 2 isn't too expensive I think (now that I'm not on a student's budget).
This doesn't lather alot, but when used with a wash cloth, cleanses really well. I love love the fresh scent of watermelon. So yummy. The fact that this is biodegradable and without sulphate and parabens is just an added bonus.
Rinses well and won't dry out skin, won't leave an oily residue as well.

Nett Wt:30ml
Scent: Mildly sweet
Price: This was a gift
Texture: White, cream
This was a surprise gift from a friend at work. He just knew what to get for a lady! Hehe. This 30ml tube last about 4 months - because I alternate with my Crabtree hand cream too.
I like that it is non sticky. I wash my hand like 8 times a day at work, and must massage cream on after each wash. Does not make me icky about using the keyboard after the cream. Hands are comfy with this cream too, it does keep dryness at bay. Feels supple.
Now the thing with the scent.. it is not bad, but its not my favourite scent. Smells sweet, if anymore would appear plasticky.. like super sweet vanilla.
The packaging in foil makes it easier for me to use all of the product. Simply roll it with a pen, no wastage! :)

Scent: Fruity
Texture: Gel
Nett Wt: 250ml
Price: I think it was RM29.90 for 2 (sale)
I've just finished the first bottle (lasted about 3-4 months). The smell is really fruity, but sometimes I find it a little stale-ish.
This cleanser is not for evening use - not good for removing makeup or sunscreen. It is however very suitable for morning use where you need very very mild cleansing. It cleanses alright with a cool rinse after that. Doesn't dry or make skin feels tight.
It lathers slightly, rinses off pretty easily. Doesn't sting my eyes.
But that's about it I guess. Not much to love, but I think I would repurchase this if they are on sale again. RM15 for one 250ml bottle is very worth it :)

I bought this during one of The Body Shop sale. Last minute score :)
And I'm so glad I got these!
The granules are coarse enough for a good scrub, yet not abrasive to the skin. I love the smell of tea tree oil (I'm a fan). After each scrub, my skin feels smooth and clean; but can be a little drying if not followed by toner / moisturizer.
I use this every other day, instead of twice a week as advised ;)
Some nights, I leave this on a few mins longer as a mask. It does a great job in keeping zits at bay.
Definitely will repurchase, only if they still produce this...

Texture: Jam like, with seed and tiny granules
Scent: Deep sweet cherries
Nett Wt: 200ml
Color: Raspberry
Price: RM59.90 (I got this at 70% off)Made in: UK
One of my first few uses, I felt a lil confused. This scrub has a very deep sweet smell. Almost like cough syrup. But after a few more uses, I thought it smelled rather pleasant! Left my skin lightly scented after each shower.
For less than RM20 (sale) I'd say I'd be re-purchasing this. For full price? Nah, not really.
Its tiny granules (crushed walnut shell) with kiwi seeds, did a great job as a scrub. On damp skin, I use a plastic ice cream spoon to scoop some product; and then rub lightly on my skin. Not to be used on face.
As a deodorant / anti-perspirant user, scrubbing the pits daily is a must for me. I dislike the rubbery residue when using anti-perspirant. And this scrub did a fabulous job in removing those residues.
