My take on The Body shop White Musk libertine Body Lotion:

Packaging-The lotion comes in a pump dispenser bottle with no glossy or hi-fi packing. Its simple and no messy types. What I most liked about the packing is the dispenser comes with a twist lock that ensures no spillage and leakage.

Fragrance & staying Power- The fragrance is similar to the white musk mists and the EDts. A musky note blended with a floral scent. Not overly floral/fruity scent, but musky in a feminine way. It’s not that kind of teenager’s peppy fragrance, but a little mature. I absolutely love it. And the staying power is super good. The scent lingers on me for at least 4 hours. Isn’t it good?? I layer it up with the EDT sometimes and I can sniff the mild musky smell for 6-7 hours and then it starts fading off.
Consistency- The consistency is that of a milk lotion. See the pics.Its neither too runny not thick like their body butter. I take a small amount shown in the pics and start working on my skin and in seconds it sinks. There is no greasiness or oiliness after you apply the lotion, just the smooth skin and the lovely scent.

Moisturizing quality– Understanding this is a lighter body lotion, unlike their body butters, I stocked it up to use once the scorching summer. This is a lotion that would not server the purpose in winters and extremely dry skinned girls will not be benefitted. But for me, I felt my skin smooth and hydrated for 3-4 hours and after which I feel the need to reapply.

And this 250ml bottle retails for Rs.1095 .But I’m sure this would last me more than 2 months.

IMBB Rating- 4.8/5

To wind up, this is a light body lotion which will not perform great during winters .But the heavenly smell is to die for.When layered with the body mist or the EDT, this lotion is surely a topper in terms of staying power.

  1. This sounds reallly good for summers. I love the white must fragrance for TBS. But guess this might not suffice my dry skin requirements. Good review and lovely pics. 🙂
