Hey everyone! I have been shopping at The Body Shop since I've been in high school and needless to say, I have tried many of their products! Some of them have worked out well for me and others haven't. I have complied a list for you of my 7 favourite items that I have repurchased several times and/or ones that I would buy again!
Face
Vitamin E Cream (Travel Size) - I was in-store wanting to purchase their Vitamin E Cream but I was told that they have discontinued the travel size. I was so heartbroken because that is my go-to for when I get a tattoo or when I have scars that I want to apply this onto. The associate recommended that I go online because they are still selling whatever they have left there. She was nice enough to give me a sample of Vitamin E cream though because I actually needed to use it right away and couldn't wait to order one online. I will just have to purchase the larger size in-store from now on when they are completely out of the smaller jar everywhere else. In the photo above, the clear container on top is the sample I was given and underneath it, is the Vitamin E Nourishing Night Cream.
Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Balm - I really can't say enough good things about this and I do have an entire video where I compare this to a more high end cleansing balm. This retails online for $16 CAD but I was able to purchase my tin for 50% off because they were having a promotion around the holiday time. This really does an excellent job at removing my makeup and leaves my skin feeling petal soft. You are getting 90 ml of product which should last you a little while and it is great to travel with because it is not in liquid form and it will not spill everywhere. Keep in mind that if you are traveling to a warmer climate, this can melt in your suitcase so just a heads up!
Luxury Flannel Facial Washcloth - This is honestly amazing and I can't believe that I have been without it for so many years! It is very soft, easy to clean with a bar of Dove soap and it does the work for you! I use this in conjunction with my Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Balm and it makes taking off my full face of makeup at the end of the day, something that I actually look forward to! It hardens when it dried and you just re-wet it for it to start working its magic again! It retails for $8 CAD online, but I did get 50% off of this washcloth but I would pay full price for it because it is that good! I plan on purchasing more of these in the future.
Body
Passion Fruit Shower Gel - I should have stocked up on this product because I absolutely can't get enough of the scent! When I searched 'Passion Fruit' on The Body Shop's web site, there were no results! I have no idea what happened and I really want this product to come back because once my bottle is done, that's it!
Atlas Mountain Rose Eau de Toilette - I actually featured this in My Top 5 Current Favourite Fragrances video and this is one of my favourite scents! It smells like fresh roses like if you were in a garden of roses! This scent is very nostalgic to me and the bottle is beautiful! This is going to be a great Spring and Summer fragrance!
Hair
Banana Conditioner - This is a Best Seller and it honestly smells amazing! The conditioner is thick and very creamy. It leaves your hair feeling soft and shiny. They do use real banana puree in the formula which is definitely an added bonus. I used this many years ago and I am so glad that I rediscovered this product!
Grapeseed Glossing Serum - I featured this in my Boxing Day Haul video and when I used it for the first time, I was very impressed! It leaves your hair looking healthy, shiny and glossy! You have to be careful not to use too much or else your hair will end up looking greasy! It is an Online Exclusive and it definitely helps with dull, frizzy hair!
Other Products:
In my honest opinion, their Body Butters smell great but they are way too greasy to apply on my hands or all over my body. I have used countless ones over many years such as the Mango Body Butter and the Smoked Poppy scent. I just prefer to find my favourite scents in other forms and in other types of products that they carry. I have a Lip Balm from them that I don't really care for but I have heard great things about their Cocoa Butter Lip Care Stick! I did use their Lip Scuff a long time ago which reminds me of the one from ELF which is basically a lip scrub in tube form. It helps exfoliate your lips and it was decent but not one of my favourites. I also used their Vitamin C Energizing Face Spritz which is a best seller on their site. I did enjoy using it but my ELF Makeup Mist & Set is a holy grail for me and it is hard for anything else to compare to that.
Until next time,
