My fondness of body butters have led me to try them in all flavors and variants, and this one from Kiehl's has become an instant favorite from the moment I first used it. Imagine dipping into a soft souffle that smells of creamy milk and sweet honey combined, then slathering it all over your skin. It's heavenly!
Kiehl's Creme de Corps Soy Milk & Honey Whipped Body Butter (P2,500.00)
About the Product:
This luxurious air-whipped body butter is quickly absorbed to deliver rich hydration for a wonderfully indulgent (and addictive!) experience. Our Soy Milk and Honey souffle is enriched with Shea Butter and Squalane to help restore skin, along with anti-oxidant-enriched Jojoba Butter and Beta Carotene to protect and soften skin.
Ingredients:
Pros:
- Product is sealed upon purchase.
- It has an air-whipped texture that's light, airy, and moisturizing without feeling heavy. It almost bounces when you touch it!
- It looks, smells, and feels delicious on the skin. It smells sweet (like a creamy dessert) without being overpowering. The scent is a bit on the warm side - rich and comforting, so it's great to use when the weather is dry and cold. I apply this body butter at night, and I can still smell hints of it in the morning!
- It's thicker than lotions, but it's easily absorbed by the skin for instant softness!
- It keeps my skin moisturized, soft, and velvety smooth for long.
Cons:
- It only comes in one size - a big tub. It's not so travel-friendly, but then again you could always scoop some out on smaller jars.
- It's freaking expensive for a body moisturizer (but it does work in keeping dryness at bay).
- Since it has a thicker texture than lotions, I don't advise using it during the day in our country, where everyday feels like a hot summer day. Your skin is bound to get sticky when you start to sweat. (For this matter, I envy those who live in places with cooler climates as they can use this body butter to their heart's content even during the day. You'll smell so good wearing this!)
If you have extra budget to spare, and would like to treat your skin to a luxurious body moisturizer, get this! If I had unlimited budget, I'd get the entire range of Kiehl's Creme de Corps ASAP because it smells sooo good and it works! However, if you're trying to save up, there are other more affordable alternatives that could give you the moisturizing power of a body butter without burning a hole in your wallet.
For now, my skin is so enjoying every bit of this body butter. I'm using it every night and yet I hope it never runs out. Haha! I would like to know, what body moisturizer are you loving right now?
Love,
Helen
As of now, I'm not using any. Kasi I'm so lazy. Sa start lang ako masipag mag apply. Hehe. Thanks for sharing dear.
ReplyDeleteXX, IamJenniya
Do start while it's early. Your skin will thank you. :D
DeleteThe packaging reminds me of hair treatment tubs! ^_^
ReplyDeleteAnd whoahhh it's a whooping Php2,500! I don't think I'll ever spend such amount on a product no matter how good it is. Lol

Me too! It's expensive alright, but then again there are always more affordable options available for body moisturizers. :)
Deletewow! :) I like this one Helen! Kiehl's talaga is a hit among beauty bloggers. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's because their products deliver. :)
Deletewow it looks really good but it's sooo mahal! medyo the body shop na muna ako
ReplyDeleteMas budget friendly ang TBS for the body butters. :)
Deleteat nagsasale pa :D
DeleteCorrect! Madalas nga sila mag sale, kaya pag may gusto kang bilhin na item sa TBS, pwede mo hintayin na mag sale para mas sulit, kung hinde pricey parin kasi. :)
Deletecurrently using victoria's secret body butter,a christmas gift from my mom-in-law :-) i like its texture non greasy and the scent stays the whole night even after huggobg my baby boy and pillows lol
ReplyDeletei was actually surprised when i read this post cause im currently waiting for my kiehls creme de corp with spf which i purchased online through strawberrynet.com i get my kiehls from trinoma but i was informed that they dont have it locally...oh well still waiting for it hope ill get the same result like yours ms helen :-) pleasant eve!
I love it when the scents lasts long, and your VS body butter sounds like a wonderful product!
DeleteI didn't know there was a Creme de Corp with SPF, maybe we don't have it yet locally, but if it has additional SPF then that's even better!
As for the branch, I'm not so fond of the Trinoma branch, they're not generous with samples unlike other branches.
really? thats how they are with walk in clients? i purchase from them through phone and they ship it to me here via lbc ive done it twice and i got loads of freebies promise :-D i was always assisted by ms michelle ramos the store supervisor. maybe you can ask for her incase you drop by :-) i also get freebies in tubes :-)
DeleteMy friend and I experience the same from their Trinoma branch, tag tipid sila sa samples eh. Maybe they love you kaya dami mo freebies! Haha :D I will look for Michelle next time I shop, or I'll just buy from Greenbelt/SM MOA kahit malayo.
Deleteawwww yeah timing maybe..i havent even been there..baka siguro naawa sakin kasi tagabundok ako hahaha ive only been to their atc branch..nice din sila :-) have fun ms helen :-)
DeleteThen you're really lucky! :)
DeleteThough I love my Nivea body lotion already, I think I can use this for certain areas like my knees, heels, etc!
ReplyDeleteI have yet to use the Nivea lotion I have in my closet. Haha. Yes, this works for tough dry areas of the skin. :)
Deletei'm so bad at sticking to a brand of body moisturizer/lotion! currently i use the one from avon.. but gosh this one from keihl's is soooo expensive ha! yaman mo helen
ReplyDeleteThis one was from Maven. ;) Ako naman sobrang stick ko sa 1 brand which is TBS for my body moisturizer, but I like trying out other brands as well. Pero feeling ko babalik din ako sa TBS after. Haha!
DeleteI don't like the color ate... and i don't know.. cguro malungkot yung kulay.. HAhaha.. kung anu0ano naiisip ko. Lol :D Mabango po ba ate?
ReplyDeleteMabango siya. It has that subtle sweet and almost edible scent, parang dessert. Yung sa color, okay lang yun kasi pag inapply mo na sa skin mo di mo na makikita yung yellow. Haha :D
