The first thing I noticed was the wonderful, fruity smell. Whilst I wouldn't have chosen a fruity smell myself, it was very pleasant and not at all over-powering or artificial. The scrub itself was very 'scrubby', which I personally really like. There was enough in the packet to scrub my arms, legs and chest, so plenty in there for a full-body application.
The packet says that it contains 'papaya seed oil to moisturise'. I was slightly apprehensive about this, as I generally dislike scrubs which leave a residue, or oil behind. I prefer to moisturise separately, and I just want a scrub to scrub! But I didn't have to worry - my skin felt very soft afterwards, but there was no residue left on my skin, so this is definitely a product which needs an additional moisturiser - a good thing!
So this one gets a Bristol Beauty Blog thumbs up. I'm pleased to note that there are a couple more samples of Body Shop body scrubs in my sample stash and I also received a full size Body Shop body scrub for Christmas, so I can get back into the habit of using them.
Do you prefer 'scrubby' body scrubs, or the ones which moisturise as well?
Thanks for reading! xx

This sounds really nice, i love body shop moisturisers cause they always smell amazing so id quite like to try this.
I love scrubby scrubs too, soap and glory flake away is my favourite :) xx
I've found that in the winter I don't mind a bit of oily residue afterwards. If I use those kind of scrubs I wash myself first and then use the scrub last so that when I get out of the shower I'm quite moisturised.
In Summer though I like a 'clean' scrub that takes the dead skin off without leaving a residue.
