REVIEW: The Body Shop COCONUT and SHEA shower creams
I was very excited to receive as a gift these 2 cute little shower creams: The Body Shop Coconut Shower Cream and The Body Shop Shea Shower Cream. I tried each one of them once and I decided to write a review. My general opinion was that they are good products, more hydrating than regular shower gels, but a little bit too pricey for what they have to offer.
I will write below my impressions about each one of these shower creams.
The Body Shop -Shea Bath & Shower Cream
The scent is a little bit masculine. It is very beautiful. I couldn’t say it is my all time favorite scent, but I definitely like it.
What I really like about it is that its parfume lasts a few hours. I spend a lot of time sitting in front of the computer and I like to smell my skin from time to time to feel this really nice scent.
The Body Shop Shea Bath & Shower Cream is also the most hydrating one, but, unfortunately, it is not as hydrating as I wished it was. I still need some hydrating body cream after shower, but the skin feels definitely more hydrated than it feels after using other shower gels / creams.
The Body Shop – Coconut Bath & Shower Cream
This one is very cute. It feels as if I was in Bora Bora. The downside is that it is not as hydrating as the Shea shower cream and the scent doesn’t last. Otherwise, its perfume is very funny, it really smells like coconuts. In fact, it smells so good, that if I would pour this shower cream into a fancy glass and put a tiny colorful umbrella, I bet someone would try to drink it. LOL
Will I repurchase?
Since my skin tends to be very dry, I can’t use a lot of shower gels, that otherwise are very nice. The Body Shop has only 3 shower creams, that are obviously more hydrating than the gels, and the one that I didn’t try yet is the Almond Milk & Honey Soothing & Caring Shower Cream.
I will definitely repurchase some of these shower creams, although I would like to try a different aroma, probably the Almond one.
P.S. I really like the package’s design. I like how the logo is placed on the main ingredient’s photo. Very nice.

Because the universe is a small place, I actually did try the almond honey one. Gift as well, what do you know. I think you’d like it, you should try it. Smells so good, sweet but calming. I have the body lotion as well which I forget to use, because I’m not good at that. But when I do remember, oh boy is a treat 👌

Wow, that’s so cool! Thanks for your comment! After reading your opinion about the Almond one, I will definitely buy and try it! I already have 4 different body lotions that I opened and didn’t finish, but after I finish them maybe I will also try the Body Shop body lotion. ^_^
