Recently I posted the first look of their new collection 'The Body Shop Fuji Green Tea range' HERE.
It's inspired by the traditional Japanese Green Tea Ceremony. The Body Shop has created a reviving detox ritual for your skin with their new Fuji Green Tea body care range. Added with the power of antioxidant Green Tea for giving you a feeling of healthier skin.
After enjoying the feeling of a Green Tea party, the time was to try out the two products, I was sent from the new range. After using the two, I only can say that the new collection of The Body Shop is great. Anyways now I would like to write my views about these products in detail.

Packaging
The Body Shop Fuji Green Tea body butter comes in a lovely mint colored round tub. The tub has a screw on cap with lovely visual green tea leaves. The packaging is beautiful and travel-friendly too but as you all know, I'm not a fan of tub packaging. I always prefer a tube packaging for all face and body care products.
Smell &Texture
The body butter has a fine green tea fragrance. The scent is quite light and refreshing. It's not strong so those who don't like strong smells will love this. Yet the body butter has a light scent, the smell doesn't fade away quickly. It stays on me for around 4-5 hours. The consistency of this body butter is great for normal/dry skin like me. The texture is neither too thick like other body butters of The Body Shop nor too light like lotions, it's perfect for my skin texture. Okay,I know that I need more rich-textured body butter in winters when my skin becomes very dry but for summer and monsoon this is the perfect formula for me.
Application & Effect
I apply The Body Shop body butter usually after taking a bath. I apply it on the damp skin all over my bod by massaging lightly. The texture of the butter is soft and it absorbs into the skin immediately. It hydrates my skin very well and leaves it soft and silky. It doesn't make my skin greasy even in this humid weather. It's quite light weight and absorbs into the skin instantly so I don't need to wipe out the butter from my skin. I can put on my clothes right away. My skin feels hydrated for 24 hours and It's a great feeling to feel you body soft and smooth.
I have been using The Body Shop Fuji Green Tea body butter for two weeks and I love the effect of it on my skin. I notice my skin more hydrated and plump and smooth after using this butter. The texture of my skin is just perfect! I really love my body skin these days.

Packaging
The Body Shop Fuji Green Tea body scrub comes in a transparent plastic round jar with green tea leaves imaginary. The jar has a screw on silver cap. The packaging looks so refreshing with the light green colored body scrub inside the jar. But still I'll prefer a tube packaging for it. The screw on cap closes tightly and as the jar is made of plastic so it's good for travel.
Smell &Texture
The body scrub has a lovely green tea fragrance that is really refreshing. The smell is mild but very pleasant. The texture is light and quite unique like a gel with tiny green beads. You can definitely get impressed on seeing its color after opening the jar. It reminded me of the texture of Lotus Herbal Kiwi and Grapes Skin Polisher.
Application & Effect
The Body Shop Green Tea body scrub feels light on skin and it spreads wonderfully on the skin. You can apply both on dry and damp skin. I have tried it in both ways. The scrub exfoliates the skin nicely. Enough amount of beads are present to exfoliate the skin very well. The best part of this body scrub is that it feels quite gentle on the skin. It's not like ordinary body scrubs that often leave some redness on to the skin. I feel a revitalising freshness and softness after using this scrub. It never makes my skin dry. Applying The Body Shop Fuji Green Tea body butter after using this scrub is really a wonderful experience to me. The effect of both products is really magical.
Good points
Cute and refreshing packaging.
The mint green colored body scrub with tiny beads looks pleasant even after opening the jar.
The mild green tea fragrance is pleasantly great.
The texture is light like a gel.
It's super easy to spread over the skin.
It exfoliates the skin nicely.
Gives a soft and silky effect after every use.
Never makes the skin dry.
Bad points
I wish for a tube packaging for this body scrub.

Finally...
The addition of both products to The Body Shop line up is wonderful in my opinion. The Fuji Green Tea body scrub is perfect for all seasons and for every type of skin. But I think The Body Shop Fuji Green Tea body butter is ideal for summer and monsoon even it will be great for spring too. For oily skin people, it'll work in winters as well. I'm totally impressed by these two. They have worked exceptionally for my skin. I'm very pleased to see my skin's condition. I can say that both products are completely winners from their Green Tea line. I'm thinking of buying some more products from this line especially some skin care products. I'll highly recommend them to all my readers.
Ohhk, so the reviews have ended and now it's time for a small giveaway. The Body Shop was kind enough to provide me with two jars of the Honeymania Body Butter- one for me and the other, for my lovely readers! Believe me, it's an amazing product & you can double the fun by winning it! Just follow these simple steps and you're in!
Giveaway is International & ends on the FIRST OF SEPTEMBER. Good Luck!
