Hello!
I consider myself to be something of a strawberry addict. Anything that smells like, looks like or tastes like strawberry, I will love. So, when my friend gave me a baby bottle of The Body Shop Shower Gel in Strawberry, I freaked! Naturally, since it was only the baby bottle, I ran out even before the month was over.
Since I am eternally broke, as I have mentioned in my seven facts, the closest I have gone to owning another bottle is when I go to the Body Shop stall in V-Mall, Greenhills and simply smell the shower gel. Pathetic, I know.
Anyways, after my routinary sniffing of tester bottle at the Body Shop stall, me and the boyfriend went to Watson's. They were having a huge buy one get one free for one peso deal that they have there from time to time.
This is when I found this.
This is the Watson's Cream Body Wash in Strawberry Scented. I smelled this and I swear, I could've fainted. It smells the exact same way that the one from the Body Shop smells like. Not even kidding. I wanted to drag the boyfriend back to the Body Shop but he said he'll just take my word for it.
Anyways, this was a good Php200 cheaper and you get tons more product. So, he got it for me as a here-you-go-now-stop-sniffing-the-testers-you're-embarrassing-me present. What's more is that since Watson's was having the sale, we got two huge ass bottles for Php251. I gave the other one to my little brother, with the boyfriend's permission, of course, 'cause there is no way I would finish this all by myself.
The only difference between the two is the consistency. The one from Watson's has a cream consistency while the one from the Body Shop has a gel consistency. Kinda like comparing the Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel and Lotion with each other.
So, if you love the Body Shop Strawberry Shower Gel, I suggest you go on over to Watson's and get yourself a huge bottle of this.
But, I must add, I haven't been seeing a lot of this in my Watson's. Maybe it's just in mine or maybe it's discontinued.
But if you do see it, buy it!

@Kelly: Yup! What's more, I got it for free considering the boyfriend bought it for me. :)
@thomessa: Yay! The strawberry scent is a hit or miss for most people. My sister hates the smell of it!
@Kym: I know! That's why I made it a habit to check around first before making a big purchase!
@Donna: I know right? I feel like I cheated the Body Shop!
@hellomissa: Sure! I'm looking forward to that post! :) And have fun on your vacation here! :D
