I Love Strawberries and Milkshake Moisturising Body Lotion Review

I am totally in love with I love…strawberry face mask. So, when I saw “I love..Strawberries and Milk Shake” Body Lotion on an e-shopping site, it was love at first sight. The cute bottle with pink lotion and hearts on it was impossible to resist. I went ahead and put it in my cart without as much a second thought.

My Experience with I Love Strawberries and Milkshake Moisturising Body Lotion:

The packaging is absolutely attractive. The lotion comes in a sturdy transparent bottle with a pump to dispense the lotion, but because it comes in a pump bottle and there is no cap over, it is not at all travel friendly, but hey, who actually travels with a 250 ml body lotion bottle! When I had just bought this lotion and it was sitting pretty on the dressing table, my husband walked into the room picked up the bottle and was like “Oh wow! Strawberry milkshake in a pump bottle! Interesting!” *hihi* *hihi*

Now, back to the review. The lotion is a cute shade of very light pale pink (okay, all shades of light pink are cute). The fragrance, it actually smells like strawberry milkshake! It smells so much like actual milkshake; it’s difficult to resist tasting it ‘;) The lotion has a very light texture and though the fragrance lasts for 3-4 hours after application, somehow, it does not smell as pleasant as it smells in the bottle. The original strawberry milkshake fragrance that is there in the bottle disappears once it touches the skin. After application, it neither smells like strawberries nor strawberry milkshake. So, I am a tad disappointed with this aspect. The moisturizing ability of this lotion is decent. I have dry skin and though the texture of this lotion is light, once applied, it keeps my skin moisturized for 6-7 hours without re-application. I use it during the day time since I prefer heavier lotions at night. However, a big negative in using this as a day lotion is that there is no SPF in this and like I mentioned in one of my previous reviews, I am very particular about having SPF content in my day moisturizers/lotions. All in all, I would say that this is an average product.

No. I had bought it mainly for the fragrance. I am disappointed with the transformation in fragrance from “oh so yummy” fragrance to “not sure what is this” fragrance.

    1. yeah..you can give it a try Saloni..now that you know what to expect from it 🙂 its moisturizing capability is quite ok..just the change in fragrance is a little disappointing..it doesn’t have the original yummy strawberry fragrance once applied..somehow the fragrance changes to something else!

  2. I so wanted to try it… Thot of ordering it online many a times.. I would now like to have its body butter rather than the Lotion.. Thanks for the review

    1. its a decent light moisturizer..but for the changing fragrance..sushma has also mentioned in the body butter review that it smells like ‘strawberries dipped in diluted rum’ for the first few minutes..after that it smells like fresh strawberries! i think the difference in the body butter and this one is this one doesn’t ever regain its strawberry fragrance *headbang*

  3. Hey thnx dear….. *thankyou* for dis review…Bottle indeed looks tempting……but the SPF made me sad… *nonono* ……
    but i wud lik to ask you about strawberry mask…dat u ahve mentioned…plz give its full name….i am also dying to buy a strawberry mask…..
