The Body Shop - Smoky Poppy - Poppy Seed Scrub

I wanted to love this. I love the smoky poppy line.

But this was so disappointing.

The scent is more oily than smoky poppy (which is the finishing scent).
The poppy seeds are too big and round to scrub, and get stuck in the puff/mitt/sponge that you may be using with it.

It is SO oily and you need to wash at least twice afterward to get the greasy feeling off your skin.

This was just an all round ineffective product.

Price: 1/5 ($29.95 for 200mL)

The Body Shop - Smoky Poppy - Body Butter

I love the body butters from The Body Shop... but this scent is the business!
It smells SOOOOOOOOOOOO good!

This was a limited edition scent (I think for Valentine's day) and is so sensual!
To me, I detect notes of incense and red flowers.
As far as formula, it contains shea butter, soybean oil, cocoa butter, sunflower oil, brazil nut oil and poppy flower extract.

I loved this so much, I went out and bought two more containers the day after the first one!

The usual Body Shop body butter rules apply as well; rich, thick, soaks in well, leaves your skin feeling great.

Price: 2/5 (rrp $23.95 for 200mL)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5
