Full review
I bought the Mango Body Butter at a Body Shop party. I'd seen them in the body shop before but never bought one after thinking they seemed a bit overpriced…but we all got a bit carried away buying things, plus it was my friend hosting her first Body Shop party so I wanted her to feel like she'd done well!

At the party a strawberry sample of the butter had been passed around. It was far too sweet for my liking, but I really liked the texture and decided to buy one in another flavour. I chose Mango as I usually go for fruity, refreshing body lotions. It was £10 for a 200ml tub.

Packaging

The body butter arrived about a week later. I really liked the packaging, it came in a big orange round pot, with a big picture of a mango on the top of the lid, with the body shop logo on the middle and 'Mango Body Butter' written in white lettering at the top. I was really pleased with how big the pot was, it justified spending £10 on a body lotion!
The Body Lotion

I opened the pot and absolutely loved the smell. The butter is a very light orange colour, and it smells how you would expect mango to smell, but so much more fruity and natural than other fruity body lotions I have used…which have more of an artificial smell.

I first used it after a bath when my skin felt really dry. The lotion does literally feel and look like butter, which I really liked. It was a lot thicker than other normal body lotions, and kind of creamy feeling. And it feels so smooth, especially when you start to apply it to the skin.
It takes a while to rub in because it is so thick but it left my skin feeling really refreshed and smooth. It just felt very luxurious and like a treat.

I find I don't need to use a lot each time because it is quite thick and it spreads quite easily.
I don't use it every day as my standard body lotion, but as a treat when I'm going out somewhere or having a relaxed night in. Therefore it has lasted quite a long time. However I think even if I were to use more often it would still last quite a while as you do only have to use it sparingly and the pot it so big.

The only downside to the body butter is that it doesn't dry very quickly, it leaves the skin feeling a little bit greasy which means if you put it on then get dressed soon after it makes your clothes stick to you a bit and feel a bit uncomfortable. However I generally use it when I'm staying in or not in a rush so I have time to let it dry. Once it has soaked in it leaves my skin feeling really smooth and fresh!
Overall Opinion

I still think it is a bit overpriced and wouldn't use it as my daily moisturiser but I would definitely consider buying it again once this one had run out, to use a treat every week or two.
