My Take on The Body Shop Japanese Cherry Blossom Body Puree

Anything that derives its benefits from Mother Nature is close to my heart. The Body Shop is one such cosmetic brand whose products are inspired by nature and this tempted me to lay my hands on the Japanese Cherry Blossom Body Puree.

The body puree comes in a clear pump bottle for 250 ml and for 60 ml it is packed in a flip top bottle. It is a puree body lotion with a little runny consistency. The lotion is light baby pink in color and works well for normal skin.  It has amazingly addictive fragrance..! That’s all how I can sum up this review. It has such a surprisingly delightful, sensual floral scent that at times I don’t feel like wearing any perfume at all.

It is a lightweight moisturizer that gets absorbed by your skin in seriously no time and leaves a cooling sensation for a few minutes. The cooling effect may be great for a hot summer day, but for the nippy season, you may have to stash it away. While the fragrance completely swept me off, but since the moisturizer is supposed to hydrate your skin, I was extremely disappointed by the fact that it didn’t moisturize at all. Another downside that I didn’t like was that it made my skin feel a bit sticky. Moreover, for just 250ml of body lotion, the price is definitely on the higher side. Despite of the fragrance, not impressed by the product at all… L
