Lush Big Buffy Body Butter Review

I got this product in a Lush gift pack and was really excited to try it. It looked intriguing and I was interested to see how it worked.

The smell was average. I like quite a strong scent and to me this was more earthy which is something I wouldn't personally purchase. I found using it straight under water melted it to much so I had to wet my body, make sure my hands were warm and then use it. It moisturised well but I didn't find it gritty enough to exfoliate. This product didn't excite me much and to be honest I forgot about it till recently when I threw it out. I did use over half but found it didn't do a lot so just got rid of it. U would not purchase this one again but have purchased a different one in hopes I'll like that one more!

It's not that I outright disliked this product, but I was a little underwhelmed and disappointed with it. I use a lot of Lush products and I think this has been the first one that I haven't loved. I received a generously sized sample of this with another purchase.

The rich creamy scent was delicious but not as strong as some other things I have tried. I found that it melted away really quickly and left a hell of a mess in the shower. Unless I was using it wrong, I figure that you're meant to wet the bar and apply it to your skin like you would with a bar of soap?

It did an okay job of exfoliating but I wouldn't have deemed it better than anything else I have tried. As for lasting moisture, the initial soft feeling was great but it felt like it was gone as soon as I dried off and I had to use a separate moisturiser.

It wasn't a terrible product but I feel there are better things I could use in its place. I probably wouldn't go out and buy this.

I love scrubbing to stop ingrowns, smooth and polish the skin and to remove any fake tan! I brought this specifically for my legs to 'buff' and hydrate after shaving. Im not sure if I got an average batch but I did not find it very exfoliating at all, there was the few patches that were better than others but felt more like I was using an old hard soap than anything. It did leave my body feeling smooth thanks to the Shea Butter in it, the smell its self was pretty average. I dont think I will be repurchasing.

This was something i got in my Lush Legends pack, honestly, it didn't excite me, i didn't even notice it. It wasn't until i went into lush and tried it, that i needed to buy it.. and then had the happy moment when i realized i already had it! Yay.

This bar comes in a small square, and is a bit smaller than the palm of my hand to give you an idea of the size. For the size, i do think this is quite pricey, and not an economical as i would have hoped. However, i did receive it in a pack, so i'm not too disappointed.

They way this works, is you use it in the shower and apply it to wet skin, just like you would a bar of soap. It gently exfoliates,and hydrates at the same time. It feels nice using it, but i have to say that you do go through a lot of product. I'm not sure if that's just me personally. I used this all over my body because i want to exfoliate and hydrate my whole body, and i found because of this, this product only lasted a few weeks :(.

I will say my skin did feel smooth in the shower, but the buffy bar left a residue where i felt like i had to wash my skin again to get rid of it, but once my skin was dry, it felt silky smooth and amazing!

I still feel undecided on this product. It has pros and cons. It did exfoliate, but i dont think it did anything to my cellulite. It also hydrated my skin, but left a residue in the shower that i didnt like, but once my skin was dry it felt amazing. At this stage, i won't be repurchasing this product at this stage, but might reconsider in the future

I found this left my skin more oily that moisturized, also it was a bit of a harsh exfoliator, I now only use it on my feet and knees and its amazing for those areas, but not the rest of my body. Its a novelty item not a necessity

I'm on a bit of a scrub obsession lately, and I thought this would be an interesting one to try. It comes in a bar form, and is quite solid (like you'd expect a soap to be)

The scent is unusual... it's a bit earthy, and definitely not my usual 'go-to' scent, but I actually didn't mind it.

What I am not a fan of is how sharp the scrubby bits are! They feel a bit too scrape-y against my skin. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but it just isn't really my favourite scrub.

I also found the bar format a bit inconvenient overall. I couldn't keep it in the shower for fear of it dissolving, so I find myself having to reach out to the shelf to use and return it when I'm in the shower. Lush do sell a tin that you can store it in, but I wasn't keen on a metal tin in my shower (rust) and I thought the price for the tin was a bit steep for what it was.

What I did like is how wonderfully moisturising it is! This is a really beautiful moisturiser, leaves my skin feeling really silky!

Would I buy it again? I doubt it. I can see where it would be ok if you're travelling, easy to carry... but for every day use I don't think it's the best choice. Go with the Rub Rub Rub shower scrub!

I walked into Lush and told them I was too lazy to moisturise my body and so they handed me Buffy. You can imagine my surprise when they told me it will help smooth my back cheeks and reduce the appearance of cellulite. I stood there thinking to myself hmmmm I have no care in the world if my back cheeks are smooth or not until they jumped in with “but it can also be used as a body moisturiser in the shower”...ahhhhh I see.

I love this product and recommend it to those who are: 1.Lazy like myself to moisturise after bathing 2.Prone to dry skin 3.Wanting a great exfoliator and moisturiser in one

I loved it so much the first time round that in my next purchase I bought my besties a piece each because it’s just one of those small affordable luxuries you want to share with others. It comes in a solid bar but unfortunately for an amazing product it looks absolutely dull and boring. The exfoliator can be a bit rough for some people so best to ensure your body is completely wet before using Buffy. I run it all over my body (back cheeks too tiheeee) and it does an amazing job at exfoliating and moisturising. There is a light fragrance of shea butter mixed with almonds and I notice that the water just glides off my body. Once done in the shower I pat myself dry and jump into my PJs – all done. No need to moisturise – halleluia!!!

The issues I have with this product is that you need to be very careful when hopping out of your shower because your tub will be slippery and unfortunately you’ll probably need to clean the residue left behind. Another issue I have is the fragrance on my skin AFTER I’ve patted myself dry – it tends to smell like ‘fatty oils’ which doesn’t make me gag but I’m not overly happy about it. It’s not overwhelming so I use a perfume oil roll on ball (favourite is MOR in Snow Gardenia) to glide over my décolletage and my problem is solved. Last issue is that it can feel like an ‘oily’ residue on your skin but honestly it’s no different to putting coconut oil on as a body moisturiser you just need to give it time to soak in.

Buffy comes in 2 sizes and I buy either one depending on my budget at the time. How long it lasts me and the price point depends on how often I use it a week, how long I keep it under running water and how well I store it and all up it’s not too bad. The smaller size (90g) lasts me probably 2 months if used 2x a week and the bigger size (200g) lasts me just under 4 months. Another Lush must-have!

I've used this from a gift pack I received for my birthday. It is strongly scented, it is hard to describe the scent, but it is not unpleasant, but I wouldn't say I love it either. The 90gram bar lasts me 3 uses, so it is quite expensive per usage. This works amazingly as a body buffer scrub, my skin feels really smooth afterwards. It is also very moisturising. Water beads on my skin after using this product. I like this product because after leaving the shower my skin feels smooth and very moisturised.
