| moonsista's Full Review: Avon Naturals Body Spray |
I am a body spray freak - I have lots of them, from Bath and Body Works to Avon. They are a nice, lightweight scent for summer, as well as a nice thing to use after showering at night.
When Naturals Body Spray first came out, I didn't try them. It wasn't until several years later that I tried them after being tired of paying $11.00 plus for Bath and Body Works. Avon often had their body sprays on sale for $4.99, so of course I had to try them!
Details:
Naturals Body Spray comes in a newly re-designed plastic bottle with a pump spray. The bottle is made of slightly shimmery, opaque, clear, shatterproof plastic. The bottle measures 8.25" in height and has the Avon name embossed in the plastic on the front. The pump spray is a corresponding color (i.e. burgundy for the "Spiceberry" fragrance) and also screws off. The pump spray is covered with a clear protective cap.
Each bottle of Naturals Body Spray contains 8.4 fl. oz., which really does last a long time.
This body spray is currently available in the following 13 scents. The Spiceberry scent, which is a seasonal fall scent, is not listed on Avon's website, although it is still available from your Avon representative.
*Spiceberry
*Gardenia
*Raspberry
*Green Tea
*Bright Sky
*Peach
*Vanilla
*Honeysuckle
*Sea
*Chamomile
*Cherry Blossom
*Lily
*Pear
Ingredients:
Please note that the ingredients listed below are the ingredients for the Spiceberry scent. The other scents will not have the cranberry fruit extract and will have different colors added. For example, the Gardenia scent has gardenia florida extract and red and yellow coloring added. You should check with your Avon representative before purchasing a scent if ingredients are important to you.
SD alcohol 40-B, water, fragrance, benzophenone-1, cranberry fruit extract, cinnamomum cassia bark extract, triclosan, propylene glycol, isopropyl myristate, glycerin, disodium EDTA, FD&C red no. 4, D&C red no. 33, ext. D&C violet no. 2.
Coordinating Products:
Avon also offers body lotion, foam bath, shower gel (and sometimes body talc and candles) in the same scents listed above. For example, I have seen the talc in the Green Tea, Cherry Blossom and Gardenia scents only, but have not seen these items in the brochures over the past few months...making me wonder if they are still offered.
My Experience:
The newly re-designed bottle is attractive, as well as easy to grasp and easy to hold while spraying. The pump spray works nicely on all of the bottles I've had; it sprays evenly and does not spritz out too much of the body spray at one time.
I currently own three of the above-listed scents: Bright Sky, Gardenia and Spiceberry. These are unique scents that you will not normally find anywhere else. Bright Sky is hard to describe, but it has a fresh, watery, yet green scent. Gardenia smells exactly like a fresh gardenia flower. And Spiceberry is a cranberry scent mixed with the scent of spices.
The scent of Naturals Body Spray is fairly long-lasting for a body spray. On the days when I wear it to work as a cologne, I take it with me in order to touch up the scent after about three or four hours. I have also used this body spray after showering in the evening, and have smelled it the next morning. So the scent does linger nicely for a body spray (compared to a cologne or perfume).
I have not experienced any stinging or irritation when spraying Naturals Body Spray all over my body. I have psoriasis on about 5% of my body, and I have not experienced any irritation while using this spray.
You will get a lot of use out of each bottle. If you use the body spray regularly, you will get at least several months' use from one bottle.
The regular price for this body spray is $8.00. However, Avon frequently has it on sale for around $4.99. It definitely pays to wait for a sale, and when the sprays are that cheap, it's almost like buying one and getting one free. I couldn't stop at just one scent; there were several that I wanted to try..so it helped that Avon had frequent sales!
Purchasing Information:
You can purchase Naturals Body Spray online at www.avon.com or from your local Avon representative. If you do not have a representative, you can call 1-800-FOR AVON.
