Today is officially the last day of winters in New Zealand. Who else is excited for the fast approaching summers ? I love light weight body sorbets and moisturisers for summers. Any product which is greasy or oily is a big ‘NO’ for me when it’s summer time. I have been sent this absolutely awesome Body Sorbet & Body Splash from The Body Shop New Zealand team. In today’s review I am sharing my thoughts on The Body Shop Virgin Mojito Body Sorbet & Body Splash.
The Body Shop Virgin Mojito Body Sorbet – NZD $27.50 / INR 795 ; 200 ml
The Body Shop Virgin Mojito Body Sorbet is a limited edition product. It’s a very light weight body moisturiser to quench your skin with moisture.
How I use it
I just glide some of this product onto my body area and massage it gently.
Insider’s tip: Put your Body Sorbet in the fridge for an even more refreshing moisture sensation.
The reason I love it so much is because it instantly melts into your skin and leave the skin non greasy. It smoothe the dry areas of body and the fragrance is perfect for summers. It absorbs quickly too. The Virgin Mojito fragrance is the extract of Caribbean lime and mint and is not over powering at all. It instantly uplifts your smell senses. I pretty much layer it on every part of my body and then splash the body splash all over my body for that long lasting hydration and protection. It’s best suited during the summer time.
This Sorbet’s packaging is good too. The tube packaging makes it convenient to use in shower as well. I lvoe to pair this with other products from the same range and that I get that full blown fragrance which lasts almost the entire day.
