Butter. I am cautious about butter. It’s rich, decadent and heavy and should only be consumed in moderation – so what are we to expect from a body butter?
Body butter. Just saying it makes me feel greasy. I normally reserve body products that leave a shiny film for toast-tanned legs in summer time. But a recent visit to the cold, dry air of London has changed my mind.
I have been packing around a sample of Bliss’s Plum Body Butter in my travel toiletry
case for about a year now, convinced that it would be too rich even for my dry skin. I finally ripped it open in a desperate attempt to combat the dry conditions in my hotel room.
The body butter was not like butter at all, at least not like body butters I have tried in the past (mainly the Body Shop’s version). It went on thick but disappeared quickly into the skin, leaving hardly a trace of shine. And best of all, the plum fragrance didn’t have an over-powering, jam-like sweetness to it, like many other fruit-fragranced products do.
