| bops_mom's Full Review: The Body Shop Strawberry Foaming Bath Personal Car... |
I believe it was back in May of 2008 that I was running low on The Body Shop's Coconut Foaming Bath and thus paid my local mall a visit to see about a replacement. What I saw was a brand new scent in the foaming bath - Strawberry. I took a few sniffs and quickly decided this would be perfect for spring and summer.
About the product
Packaged in a clear plastic flip top bottle which holds 13.5 fl. Oz, The Body Shop's Strawberry Foaming Bath will set you back $17.00. I was quite pleased when the sales girl told me the foaming baths were currently buy one get one half off which helped ease the pain of paying $17.00 a bottle just a little bit.
The scent is delightful if you enjoy fruity or strawberry scents. It is not a 100% natural scent; the strawberry does tend to smell a little fake. It isn't a gross or sickly fake smell but it also doesn't smell like freshly cut strawberries.
The Body Shop's Strawberry Foaming Bath, like all their foaming baths is meant to be used as bubble bath product. I very rarely take baths these days and rather use the foaming baths as a shower gel. I've found that the foaming baths are much gentler to my sensitive dry skin than The Body Shop's Shower Gel's. The Body Shop also has a shower cream product which is kind to my skin, however as a girl who lovers her some bubbles in the shower - the shower creams fall flat. This is why I tend to only purchase the foaming baths.
My Experience
I've used my bottle of The Body Shop's Strawberry Foaming Bath almost daily since I purchased it back in May and have only just come to the last few drops of product. This is good news since $17.00 isn't cheap - but if it lasts you 6 months or so - that's not too shabby!
As I said, I use The Body Shop's Strawberry Foaming Bath as a daily shower gel. I just pour some (not much is required) onto my bath pouf and scrub away. The bubbles this product produces will delight any bubble fanatic! I love the sweet, fruity strawberry scent, too. The scent tends to stay on my skin in an extremely mild form throughout the day. Your mileage may vary as I do have a pretty sensitive nose.
My skin can be problematic and is usually rather dry. That's a bummer because it means many popular bath and shower products (such as Philosophy's 3-in-1's) aren't a good combination for my skin. When I do use those products I'm left with fishy looking flakes and scales on my body and itchy skin. Thankfully The Body Shop's Foaming Baths are a more than suitable replacement for me - even if there aren't nearly the amounts of scents to choose from.
I've now tried The Body Shop's Foaming Bath's in several scents including Coconut, Mango, Strawberry (uh, yeah), Nut (now discontinued) and Shea. I plan to continue using them daily as I have found them to be hydrating and gentle to my sensitive dry skin. In addition I love the large amount of bubbles I get (without having to use a lot of product) and the scents are divine!
And so...
I do highly recommend The Body Shop's Strawberry Foaming Bath for those who enjoy taking bubble baths (or like a high foaming shower gel) and are fans of sweet, fruity, berry type scents. I don't think you'll be disappointed in the product and if you can find it on special like I did - all the better!
