My Opinion:

I've got 2 of these body butters and was surprise to find out that their texture is totally different. As you can see from the last picture above, the coconut body butter has a very thick texture and although I do not like using it on my body, I've been using it as a hand cream, it doesn't take too long to be absorbed and it really moisturizes and softens my hands.

With regards to the pink grapefruit body butter, it has a very watery texture, but once you apply it on your skin it feels super sticky and you need to wait for ages for it to be absorbed. Even though it has the most delicious grapefruit scent I have only been using it on my legs...
