    How does the papaya range smell? Particularly the body and lip butters?

    Have been wary of trying any because I really dislike the smell of the actual fruit... I know this sounds awful, but I find it smells a bit like sick :lipsrseal


    Not sure what the body milks are like but ordered 2 of the coconut ones, a raspberry puree and a coconut lip butter. With the 20% and free delivery came to £8 plus another 18% with quidco, pretty good I think!

    I think the milks and puree will be nice to use in the summer as they're light and quickly absorbed. Hope so anyways lol! If not then will use the other one as a gift!!

    Can anyone tell me what the coconut body milks are like? I usually prefer the body butters? Are they worth the money, the bottles don't look very exciting? ? ?

    I don't know about the coconut one but I've used BS body milks in the past and really liked them. They're not as luxurious as the butters as they're not as thick, but because they're not as heavy they absorb really quickly and its more convenient to apply them. There doesn't seem to be as many offers on the body milks as well, which is why I've went for this one.

    I really like it. It's very sweet & fruity smelling. Can't remember what a real papaya smells like though!

    A bit disappointed the butters seem to be out of stock at the moment.

    Hi all

    I have bought and used the coconut body milk now on three occasions ans absolutely love it. I took a bottle with me on my hols to Goa in february and used it every day as an aftersun, absolutely brilliant. Also i dont know if just a coincidence but never once got bitten by the mozzies this time yet every other time ive been there have looked like a pin cushion. Would definitely recommend it :beer:

    Sounds like I might like it but think I'll need to pop into my local branch to have a sniff, before the next glitch :rotfl:

    If you've got a branch near you it may be worth popping in to have a look if they've still got some in the Sale. My local branch had loads of the almond and papaya ones at Sale price all stacked up and lip butters in a basket!

    I've made a wee rule that I won't buy anything more until I've used up what I have. However, there are exceptions to every rule and a raspberry body puree just fell into my shopping bag. Oops.;)

    So, £2.00 less 20% off = £1.60 and 18% Quidco :rotfl:

    BTW I've just noticed that the Papaya Body Butter is still in the sale. Only the small one is out of stock, the 200ml one is still at £5 so with just £4 with the 20% off code plus additional quidco, it's not too bad for full size body butter!
