What I liked: 

1. My past experience with TBS BB has been that they fall into either of the two categories. They either:

a.       Moisturise well (Hemp)

b.      Smell great (Japanese Cherry Blossom)

They were never both, until I met lychee BB. Which is strange because I don’t like lychee as a fruit (honestly – I have never eaten a lychee, I hate the way it looks). This not only smells really lovely (as lovely as JCB – almost) but is it also super moisturizing.

2. Absorbs instantly without any greasiness

3.  The fragrance lasts for 4-5 hours. It is quite faint but detectble. 

4.  Softens skin incredibly

5. I used this on my face too for a week – it didn't break me out (I added a drop of sesame oil to this prior to application)

6. It is a steal for the price (400 bucks)

What could be better:

1.  This is a LE product

Overall: This has become my fav. body butter. It is a pity this is a LE - because it smells so amazing & at the same time is so softening & nourishing.


P.S.: I generally try out products for a longer time before reviewing,  like 3 weeks or even more. But since this is LE & on sale as well, I thought I would review it quickly so that more of you can avail the offer.
