The Good
- I have tried body oils in the past and though they left my skin soft and moisturized, they always felt greasy and heavy. This oil has a lightweight texture and feels non greasy on skin.
- The cocoa butter scent is to die for. It smells wonderful like the softest most comfortable subtle chocolate.
- It’s perfect for summer – light, not sticky, and it sinks right into your skin. Really does beautify my skin. I will definately replace body butters with this for the summer.
- I find that the oil is easily absorbed in the skin. I intially thought it would be too oily, but my skin just slurped it up and stayed happy! You can use beautifying oil rather than lotion if you’re in a rush.
- Can be used after shaving your legs or even as a shaving oil.
- My hair and skin look shinier than ever. Just be careful not to put too much on your hair though, it can get really oily. One or two drops on your palm, rub your palms together and apply on your slightly wet hair for best result.
- I applied a small amount to the frizzy bits and voila! It smoothened it out, and even defined my curls without weighing it down.
- Yes, this item is on the expensive side, but a little really goes a long way.
The Bad
- The fragrance doesn’t last long.
- The packaging is not travel friendly. The Beautifying oil can leak from the cap.
For Oily Skin Beauties: Avoid applying this oil on face. You can enjoy using this on your body.
For Dry Skin Beauties: Use it with body butter for extra moisture and glow on your skin.
Final Verdict – I use it on my hair, face and body. And have been very pleased with the result. Will definitely repurchase ! :)
My Rating : 5/5

Great review! I think I might try this one unless it’s a limited edition item! But I have tooooo many oils and moisturizers to be used up, before I allow myself to get a new one :)

Same here I want to try different body butters but have so much to be used up :D
…. a good news for you is that this one is not limited edition :) so you can try whenever u want <3
yay ;) I look forward to that day, even though it’s far away!
I’ve seen someone talk about this and now I’m curious as well! Never understood the concept of beauty oils, but it’s still interesting! :D
Even for me it was difficult to understand what dry or beautifying oil was till I found this magical bottle :D… I guess this kind of oil has a very lightweight texture :) :)
I love the body shop’s products! Once I’ve bought body lotion and fragrance did last for next day also, but unfortunately they stopped produce that lotion n :(
Awww that’s sad I hate when companies discontinue products that we love :(
Nice review :) seems to be a great product
I have normal to dry skin but I am little skeptical in applying oil on my face
Yeah even I was very uncomfortable with the thought … but this one absorbs like a serum and gives a lovely glow to d face :)
From what you say must be so good! Definitely to try! Nice and very useful review! xo

Let’s talk about everything
Thanks a ton Neha …. You have a awesome blog dear <3 <3
WOW. I have never tried a beautifying oil before… the review is really tempting me to try one :)
Is it different from the regural oils (coconut, olive, sesame etc)? Can’t those give the same results?
Hey dear Beautifying oil is quite different ! This is more like a cosmetic thing den a skin care product… It is mostly used on body or hair to give a healthy glow. It absorbs quickly den normal oil. Its kind of dry oil with a very light texture.
xoxo Shreya <3 <3
this seems a pretty good product and the fact that it helps in managing frizz pleases me. Very nice detailed review dear :)
Thanks sweets <3 <3 Really great product ! It also gives lovely fragrance to my hair without making them oily :)
I have dry skin, so your tip about using it with a body butter sounds great!

Thanks Ellen dear :) If you have dry skin you can use this after applying body butter…. This combination really makes dry skin smooth
I’d love to try this oil!

I love the sound of this oil, and anything made with cocoa butter has my attention. Thanks for your suggestions on my previous post :) Happy Friday!
I’m a huge fan of cocoa butter products …. Thanks for your lovely comment dear <3 ….
This sounds interesting – I am only just starting to realise the benefits of beauty oils, lol!!
But I haven’t used anything from the Body Shop for years, maybe its time to revisit…!!

I never thought I would love a beauty oil so much … In the past I had tried many products which made my skin greasy but this one is just perfect !
xoxo Shreya
Sounds like a nice one. Great review :)
Thanks Sahana <3
Nice review….will surely try it out
Hey Lavanya I’m sure you’ll luv it …. do let me know :)
Thanks for the review. I definitely wouldn’t try this on my face (oily!) but I could use it for other things :-)
Hey dear if you have a oily face do avoid it ! But in winter you can try using 1 or 2 drops on your face …since its super gentle on skin :)
Great review!
I love this cocoa butter..
