Hi All,

Today, I am going to share my thoughts on the Early Harvest Raspberry Body Scrub By The Body Shop.
I love raspberries and hence,wanted to try out this scrub.So,went ahead and purchased this body scrub.What was the result of purchasing this product let's find out together.

Let's get started!

This exfoliating body scrub contains raspberry extract and has a gorgeously jammy texture. It leaves skin feeling softer and smoother.
  • Seasonal Early-Harvest Raspberry scent
  • Removes dead skin cells
  • Massage on to stimulate skin micro-circulation
  • Leaves skin feeling softer and smoother

Price : AED 75 / $22 / INR 1095

Quantity : 200 ml /7.2 oz / 206g

Shelf-life : 12 months

Ingredients :
Aqua/Water/Eau, Glycerin, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Juglans Regia Shell Powder/Juglans Regia (Walnut) Shell Powder, Rubus Idaeus Seed/Rubus Idaeus (Raspberry) Seed, Silica [NANO]/Silica, Polysorbate 20, Parfum/Fragrance, Benzyl Alcohol, Phenoxyethanol, Mel/Honey/Miel, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Sodium Hydroxide, Benzophenone-3, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Disodium EDTA, PEG-30 Dipolyhydroxystearate, Trideceth-6, Rubus Idaeus Fruit Extract/Rubus Idaeus (Raspberry) Fruit Extract, Denatonium Benzoate, CI 14700/Red 4, CI 17200/Red 33, CI 42090/Blue 1.


How to use?
Apply to damp skin in a circular motion, then rinse thoroughly. Use two to three times a week.

My Experience:
Packaging:
The product comes in a plastic tub.The theme of the packaging is raspberry as the product is made up of raspberry-fruit-extracts.All the details such as product-quantity,shelf-life etc are mentioned on the tub-packaging.Ingredients are mentioned on the official site of The Body Shop though.The body is made up of transparent-plastic .The twist-open lid is made up of opaque deep wine-pink coloured plastic.In case we are running out of the product we can easily check that out through the transparent body of the tub.Cool!The packaging is very sturdy ,compact and travel-friendly.I love the packaging.
                                               



Formula & Texture:
Oh my god!Just look at the ingredient-list.The raspberry body scrub is made up mainly of water,glycerin,castor oil,walnut-shell powder,raspberry-seed,honey,raspberry-fruit-extract.I love these ingredients.Glycerin,castor oil ,honey are supposed to keep our skin moisturized.Walnut-shell powder and raspberry seeds are meant to exfoliate the skin.The red coloured product has semi-gel like consistency.The body scrub smells nice and looks like raspberry jam...yummy:).It's not runny or too thick.Not sticky in any way. Adheres to the skin very well.

Effective?
Yes
  • First of all as we open the tub,the smell of fresh raspberries just spreads all over the place
  • The fragrance of the product is very strong and I love the smell of raspberries
  • Apply the body scrub on the damp skin and rub well in circular motions.
  • It works well as claimed.Leaves the skin soft and smooth.
  • The body scrub is not greasy at all and works well on dry and damp skin not on wet skin
  • Leaves no cast on the skin after usage
  • The scrub is not harsh on the skin and exfoliates skin well and removes dead skin-cells nicely
  • Even after we are done with scrubbing,the skin smells of raspberries which is really cool!
  • Of course,after using the raspberry body scrub ,the skin feels a tad bit dry but,not stretchy.Use moisturizer
Cons:
  • Tub-packaging allows product-contamination.Use a spatula to apply the product onto your skin.
  • Like most of the scrubs it leaves the skin a little dry and we definitely need to apply moisturizer after using this scrub
  • In case you do not like strong smell of raspberries,skip purchasing this product(suggestion)
  • Quantity is less according to the price being paid
Will I re-purchase?
Yes,definitely.Love the product's raspberry-fragrance and the product is effective too.

Overall,I really love this body scrub and would recommend it to you in case you are looking for an effective body scrub.Suitable for all skin types but,specially best for normal to dry skin types.Use this body scrub thrice a week to see it's effect.The product will last for about two months if used two to three times a week.

  • The product comes in a transparent glass-bottle that has a silver cap made up of plastic
  • The shade can be easily identified if we have more than one shade from the Colour Crush nail paint collection
  • The details such as shade name,number,quantity,shelf-life are mentioned on the bottle
  • I like the packaging and its's sturdy,compact plus travel-friendly
  • The applicator-brush attached to the cap is a flat one
  • The length of the applicator-wand is a little shorter than the usual wands
  • The silver-coloured cap of the bottle comes in very handy and gives control to the user while applying the product on the nails

Formula & Texture:
  • The formula is not very runny or thin.I actually like the consistency of the product.
  • Product is very pigmented and gives full coverage to the nails in two coats.Do not layer up the nail-polish it will start looking patchy and gloopy on the nails
  • The formula is nice and the nail-paint has a satin and elegant-looking finish
Longevity:
The nail-polish lasted for about five days straight.After that it started chipping off from the tip of the nails slightly.Glossiness of the nail paint was still there intact(98%) even after five days.Of course the sheen had faded(2%) just a little bit after five days ,but, nothing to bother as such.I am happy with the formula of the nail-polish.

Cons:
Nothing

Will I re-purchase?
Yes,surely.

Overall,I really love the shade Apricot Kiss and I suggest that you check out the entire shade-range of Colour Crush nail polishes as they have everything ranging from the nudes to the bold greens,pretty pinks to ravishing reds! Vibrant shades...I must say.
