The Body Shop's Elderflower Eye Gel Review

Hey everyone! I received a 50% off coupon recently and I went into my local Body Shop store to take advantage of this awesome deal! I decided to purchase the Elderflower Eye Gel because I thought that it could be a potential dupe for the expensive Peter Thomas Roth Eye Patches.


Overview & Price
It retails at The Body Shop for $12 and you are getting 15 ml or 14 grams of product. It does come in a little container which I appreciate because I can see how much product is left inside the clear pot. I also like that there is no fragrance because your skincare shouldn't smell good or have any fragrance in it really. This claims to be both cooling as well as refreshing. 


Dupe for PTR Eye Patches?
I have tried the Peter Thomas Roth 24k Gold Eye Patches before and they retail for $92 for 60 patches which gives you 30 uses in total. This product did give my under eyes a cooling sensation but it did not last as long. I used my ring finger to apply this under my eyes and perhaps a small cold metal spoon would be best. I also want to try to store it in the fridge next time I decide to use it. I wouldn't say that this is necessarily a dupe because I felt that the PTR Eye Patches perform better overall. This eye gel is not the same consistency and the method of application is different. 


Final Thoughts
I feel like a little bit of this product goes a long way and be careful not to apply too much. Some reviews said that their under eye area felt sticky but they either didn't let it sink into the skin long enough or they applied too much product. It wasn't sticky at all on my face and it wasn't flaky either. If you are on a budget then definitely pick this up rather than the PTR Eye Patches. I don't have dark circles so I can't speak to that. I love that there is no fragrance to it and I will continue to test it out!

I also made sure to get the new Love Your Body card because they have a brand new card and there are more member perks! 


I really do like Elderflower and I once had it in a mojito which tasted delicious! If you want to find out more about it, I do have an entire blog post on it where I speak about the Benefits of Elderflower.

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY

Review on 5 Products from The Body Shop

Hey everyone! I actually featured these items in my Collective Haul and I have been testing them out therefore, I want to give you my thoughts on these 5 items from The Body Shop! They include: 3 Scented Shower Gels, 1 Ginger Shampoo and 1 Banana Conditioner. 


Banana Conditioner: I forgot how good this conditioner is and I love using it in the shower! It is not a watery consistency at all, it really does a great job at conditioning my hair and it smells incredible! This is probably one of my most favourite conditioners of all time.

Ginger Scalp Care: This did a great job at removing dirt and build-up from my scalp. It is more of a watery, liquid consistency so keep that in mind when purchasing. I do wish that the formula was more thick because you can end-up wasting a lot of product in the shower when it goes through the spaces in-between your fingers.The ginger scent is amazing and it did help with my dry scalp!



Fuji Green Tea Shower Gel: I actually can't find the exact bottle online anymore as they have redesigned it and are now calling it a Body Wash. The bottle is taller and more narrow with the exact same amount of product inside of it as the one pictured above. The top is now silver and you press down to open the cap. Anyway, this is a very clean, fresh scent and it reminds me of a spa!

Passion Fruit Shower Gel: I absolutely love the scent of Passion Fruit in general and they did a great job at capturing this scent in form of a shower gel. The formula is awesome because it lathers effortlessly onto the skin and makes my skin extremely smooth and soft after use! I'm so sad because I recently typed in Passion Fruit to the search bar online and there were no results! This is one of my favourite scents and it is no where to be found. Not sure what happened there but I hope that they will bring it back at some point!

Early-Harvest Raspberry Shower Gel: The packaging for this particular bottle and scent has changed on The Body Shop's web site. It is now in a different bottle with a clear top and it is an Online Exclusive. It has the exact same amount of product inside though and I'm not sure why they did that but of course, they had their reasons for the change. This is my second favourite scent out of the three and they did a great job at capturing the fragrance in this bottle.


In-case you are wondering, I took photos of the products before I began testing them out! Also, I purchased all of these products for 50% off their original price tag because there was a promotional offer happening on The Body Shop's web site.

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY
