Technically The Body Shop Best Bits probably isn't its correct name, but I forgot to take any notice of details when this AMAZING Body Shop treasury caught my eye. I wouldn't call myself a frequent Body Shop shopper but I picked this up the other day and couldn't believe how great the value was and how considering it was January, the Body Shop wasn't trying to fob off naff products no one really liked...these where the real deal!! Popular products which I can hand on heart say I will use (or at least try) all of. The price of this bag is £20, but I think the product value of everything is something around the £75 mark. COULDN'T BELIEVE MY EYES. I even asked the cashier girl whether this seemed crazy to her also, and she told me that when she saw the promotion first come through she thought it was a mistake. So there you go how could I say no! And I'm here now to give you my first ever blog post ever review ever ever on the SEVEN FULL SIZE products you can find inside the pretty pink bag. I'm not sure how long this offer is running for but if you like what you see I would get a shuffle on pretty quick because I can't imagine The Body Shop being oh so generous for much longer.
Hemp Hand Protector £5
I am on big on hand cream, have about 3 tubes of the stuff rattling around in my handbag. And I have to say this stuff may be just worth the money!Personally I make my way through hand cream pretty speedily, I apply it more often than probably recomended but dry hands just make me miserable! The hemp hand protector comes in a pretty hefty amount, and on top of this it is super duper thick. You only need a tiny bit to cover your hands so it will definitely last you a lot longer than your normal nivea/vasaline/whatever you may use. Scent wise it isn't as pretty as I would normally go for, reminds me of candle and incense shops that you visit in the lake district. I'm guessing that it is because it is made from hemp seed oil and hemp seed oil smells like this. But anyway this 'hard working moisturiser' is GLORIOUS and I will be purchasing in the future.
Vitamin E Gentle Facial Wash £8 & Vitamin E Moisture Cream £10
Cautious are the first words that come to mind when I use this. It smells stingy. My skin is a combination of sensitive and oily so I often get breakouts on my chin no matter what kind of product I use. I sometimes can also get breakouts on my cheeks if I use something that really does not agree with me. Only had the chance to use the pair of these twice but so far so good, no volcanoes just yet. Hopefully the fact that these two are best sellers mean they are pretty decent, not sure if I wanna go out and grab again but we shall see. I am terrible for cleansing my skin on a daily basis so its nice to give the wash a proper go.
Lip Butter Chocomania £4 & Cocoa Butter Body Butter £13
Need I go into much detail? I may be wrong but I am pretty certain that a large percentage of the population know that these products are iconic! Currently writing this part of the post with my feet, one hand is manicly applying lip butter to well...my lips, whilst the other is glued to my thigh from the sheer amount of body butter I have applied. Basically I CAN'T GET ENOUGH.
Strawberry Shower Gel £4 & Elder-flower Unperfumed Eye Gel £7
I am 50/50 on these products. To begin the strawberry shower gel is gorgeous, already knew what to expect with this one because I have occasionally somehow ended up using my housemate's....not sure how that happened?! It smells delicious and gets super foamy like a good shower gel should! I'm reluctant to pay so much for an item I use on a day to day basis but still its great for those days I wanna smell like a strawberry of course. In the case of the Elder - flower eye gel I was a little like huh? What does this do? But I have had a browse on the website, and after initial confusion fallen a little in love with the product! I like my elder flower...especially in my vodka...and now as it turns out around my eyes also. For those of you who end up with runny eyes in the morning and awake looking like a mole rat I would highly recommend.
