Yummm, I've used this one for ages.
I bought like 3 of the smaller sized ones, because I couldn't commit to using the big one. And yes, the smaller ones are much easier to tote around.
But I finally got a large one, and now I'm on my SECOND large tub of this Mango Body Butter!
My mom hates the scent, but I don't mind. She's a very floral person.
It's a strong, straight up, artificial-esque Mango scent. Very sweet. Someone commented on me a few years back saying it smelled like an air freshener, haha!!
I still love this, and I always go back to it. Recently, I've noticed that it was a tad sticky after use, but I love it anyway.
This has always been my favourite scent.

I love this product! The consistancy is quite thick and luxurious and it is very moisturing, making my skin feel wonderfully smooth and glossy following application and leaving a slight sheen. The packaging could perhaps be a little nicer to do justice to the product but this can easily be overlooked. By far the best thing about this body butter is the smell, it is beautiful! Unfortunately I have recently discovered the strawberry flavour and think I have been converted!
My favourite body butter from TBS - great smell, really moisturises my skins in the winter and comes in a big tub. I buy a tub of this every winter and it saves my skin from drying out.
i actually got this as a gift last christmas so i dont know how much it was. i do like this body butter. very moisturizing. smells great. everytime i use it, i cant help but keep sniffing it because it smells awesome! i dont know why some people dislike the smell or consider it too strong, i believe it is just peerrfect. i've used this mainly as a hand cream and have yet to try it for my body. yes, surprising i have not used it on my body after a year. i admit i neglected this, but this past summer, i really really loved it and i've only used a little. Hence, i used it mainly as a hand cream. i have used it on my arms and i never need or feel like i need to reapply this after wearing it for a few hours. my friends love this as well. they always ask to use this and likewise, they love the smell and how well it moisturizes. i am so very glad my sister gave this to me as a gift. =)
this is a good body butter. I am a huge fan of TBS body butters because of their great moisturization and because the company invests in empowering women in third world countried. This BB does no really smell like mango, more like a generic scent. But it does moisturize very well. I have purchased several tubs of this product for the winter time because I find it sometimes moisturizes better than the brazil nut BB. I sometimes even put some satsuma fragrance oil into this scent of BB to boost the fragrance properties of it.
LIke most Body Shop butters mango has a very strong smell that can be an issue for those who aren't a fan of it. When I apply it to my whole body I skip perfume as it tends to clash. I'm not saying it's a bad smell, it's just strong. However, it's VERY moisturizing and I used it religiously during my second pregnancy and didn't get any stretch marks. Since this is for dry skin, a little goes a long way and one tub will last quite a while, so I feel the price is more than justified. I reccomend this for pregnant mothers. Shea is also supposed to be great but I don't like the smell so much and this worked just as well for me.
This is the first TBS boby butter I ever tried and it has become a staple in my skincare regimine. I also love the coconut butter, brazil nut butter and shea butter versions. The scent is great but can be an issue if your perfume is not complimentary. I highly recommend these butters for dry skin and a little goes a really long way so the price is ok but I still try to wait for their big sales to stock up. These run circles around the BBW butters.
I got a sample of this with a purchase a while ago and just finally got around to using it. The smell is nice, I didn't find it too overpowering and my fiance liked it as well. It took forever to absorb into my skin though! I've never had that with any other Body Butters and I've got quite a few. I'm not sure if I will purchase this, if I do it'll be the small size and I'll buy it in the spring, because it's a very summery scent.
The body shop's body butters are probably my favorite moisturizer and the mango flavor is one of my favorites too!
