The Body Shop Coconut Beautifying Oil

The Body Shop Coconut Beautifying Oil 100ml - £9

After trying the Palmer's Moisturising Body Oil (Review can be found here), I just had to try another. I had been looking at The Body Shop ones for a while, so when an offer came along, I added the coconut variety to my basket. This body oil is very similar to the Palmer's one. It absorbs into my skin incredibly well and doesn't leave a greasy residue (Body oils seem to be less oily than body butters!). It's less greasy than the Palmer's one, which is good, but it doesn't leave my skin as soft and moisturised. It still does a better job than some of my body butters though. The scent is amazing - It smells just like coconut and reminds me of Summer.

£9 for 100ml is expensive, especially when the Palmer's one is £5 for 250ml, but The Body Shop always have offers on, so you will never have to pay the full price of £9. At the moment, The Body Shop's body products are 40% off, making the body oils £5.40. 

If you want a cocoa butter scented body oil, I would favour Palmer's over The Body Shop's, but if you would like another scent, I would definitely have a look at what The Body Shop have to offer. They offer a range of scents, such as mango, strawberry, sweet lemon, pink grapefruit and more.

Palmer's Moisturising Body Oil

This is the first body oil I've used. In the past, I thought body oils would leave me oily and do very little moisturising. I didn't know why someone would favour one over a body butter. Everything I thought was incorrect. I am really enjoying using this product and have already bought another body oil! I use this after I've had a shower and I can moisturise my entire body and get dressed within a few minutes. The scent is delicious, like most of Palmer's products. However, this is much more delicate than their other Cocoa Butter Formula products, so if you find them overwhelming, you'll probably prefer this scent. It absorbs into the skin incredibly well - Some of my body butters leave me more oily than this does. Just like the product claims, it leaves my skin silky soft. This feeling lasts all day, as does the scent (The scent is very subtle, remember, so it doesn't overpower my perfume). You receive 250ml of product, and a little goes a long way, so this should last a while.

Like most Palmer's products, you can purchase this from many stores. Superdrug and Boots are selling it for around £5.10, but if you would like to get your hands on this product without leaving your home, Feel Unique is selling it for £5, with free delivery.

If you cannot tell from my review, I would recommend the Palmer's Moisturising Body Oil!
