Goodies Under IDR 100K : Bodycology Body Cream

by Affi — Thursday, October 9th, 2008 at 5:41 pm

I have seen Bodycology brand a few times in some supermarket but I never paid attention because I thought it’s just another Bath & Body Works wannabe. Until yesterday I was picking up some toilettries at Sogo Food Hall (is the entire supermarket called Food Hall or just the food section? I’m always confused). I checked out a few brands including Bodycology and found myself pleasantly surprised. It is a Bath & Body Works wannabe but with half the price and the same quality!

I decided to purchase one of their body creams – the Coconut Lime scented one and it smells positively delicious! All sweet and creamy with a little hint of citrus, perfect for an after morning shower ritual. It smells similar to Bath & Body Works Coconut Lime Verbena but maybe a little less strong. The cream itself is not bad either. Quite light, non-greasy and moisturizes fairly well. It also contains aloe vera, shea butter, Vitamin C & E. Another plus point is the smell lasts a long time. It’s 4.15 PM now and I can still smell a hint of creaminess on my skin. I think this body cream will be nice to layer with a coconutty or beach-y perfumes such as Creed Virgin Island Water, Bobbi Brown Beach or Michael Kors Island Hawaii.

Oops, almost forgot to mention the price. It’s only IDR 54,000! And for 220 ml of luxurious and delicious-smelling cream, it’s pretty hard to beat!

Bodycology body cream is available in Sogo Foodhall. Also comes in Pink Grapefruit, Vanilla Musk, Warm Sunburst, Peach Mango, Fresh Waters, White Gardenia, Sweet Petals, Vanilla Buttercream and Juicy Pomegranate.

Bluebelle,
Iya cobain deh, menurut gue sih buat harga segitu produknya lumayan banget. Daripada B&BW di sini kan mahal..

Emang bodycologi enak, dan wanginya tahan lama.. cuma suka bingung sama harganya dimana yang lebih murah. dikantor ada yang jual body butternya 75rb, tapi di watson 89rb. Kalo di sogo berapa ya?? Btw kemaren ada temen yang baru balik dari US, dan bawa BBW, body splash 150rb, and lotion 125ribu. Murahkah??

aku dah bbrp kali pake body cream nya, yg paling ok tuh yg mango..seger & wanginya natural bgt. yg vanila juga ok, fresh water wanginya lbh tajem, klo yg jasmin mirip buble gum.
aq biasanya beli di ‘star’ MKG, tp minggu lalu pas aq kesana mau beli lagi, ternyata dah ngga ada.
setelah aq tanya ama mbak yg jaga, katanya bodycology dah ditarik krn ngga ada POM nya…hikss…
bener ngga nih?
yg masih ada stok bodycology dimana ya?

kmarin gw dapet body spray nya di toko kosmetik holly yg ada di itc mangga dua lt 5 A 265 dengan harga Rp 60rb.
menurut gw white gardenia yg paling enak. waktu pertama kali spray memang baunya nyengat, tapi ga lama kemudian, nyengatnya hilang malah seger.
