A few months ago, I joined a giveaway by Scarlet Aces. In order to win the giveaway, we had to post a picture with the colour red in it on Instagram and use the hashtag that they gave. So I tried and ……… I WON!
The winner gets free Scarlet Aces Body Butters. And here I’m going to review their body butters. From the giveaway I actually received the Green Papaya Frost Body Butter and the Caipiriñha Body Butter, but I also bought their BFF - Almond Milk Shimmer Butter and the Power of Friendship - Bergamot Musk Shimmer Butter.

The Green Papaya Frost is my favourite out of all four body butters that I got. It comes from the Floral X Fruity Series. This body butter contains Shea Butter and Jojoba Oil. The smell is super fresh, perfect for summers or daily use during the day. And since the smell isn’t very thick, you can still put on perfume and both smell won’t clash with each other.

Caipiriñha Body Butter comes from the Cocktail Series, along with Scarlet Margarita and Long Island. The Caipiriñha Body Butter contains Shea Butter and Cocoa Butter, along with Mangosteen Skin Extract and Jojoba Oil. I, personally, am not a big fan of this product because the smell is pretty strong. The owner, Diah, told me that this body butter contains Rum. And I’m not the kind of person who fancies these kind of smell. I even think that it’s not a really good idea to be using this body butter together with a perfume, because then the smell will clash. However though, if you guys like the smell of cocktail, then this series might be the perfect choice for you.

Between the two Shimmer Butter that I got, I prefer the smell of the Bergamot Musk, it's more fresh and just what I like. However though, the colour of the butter is more gold than the Almond Milk Shimmer Butter, so you really have to be careful not to apply too much of it.

This is the perfect shimmer butter for daily use, I think. Although I'm not a fan of Almond, but the shimmer in this body butter is not as gold and as strong as the Bergamot Musk, and so it creates a very subtle shimmer.

In general, I think that all the body butters from Scarlet Aces are very light, yet it has a strong smell. And since it's light and not sticky, you don't need to worry about getting your clothes sticky too (well that's what I experienced), and that's what I love about the most. Except for the Bergamot Musk Shimmer Butter, I feel that this body butter is sliiiiightly thicker than the rest of the body butters that I got. On the other side though, I think the packaging can be fixed because it's kind of difficult to lock (or is it only me who just can't close it properly? hahaha).

Always wanted to get some of these! I think the Almond Milk Shimmer Butter would be perfect for my baby-like skin :)
