I decided to order stuff online because my local Body Shop no longer carried the Raspberry Collection. I'm guessing the collection was seasonal? I love that scent so much! I really wanted to get the body mist/perfume of the scent but they were sold out when I went to place my order... I have, however, tried the body scrub (I might do a review of it sometime) and it is heavenly! It smells SOOOOO good and it exfoliates quite well.
Anyway, my parcel finally came in and I thought I'd share what I got. Getting mail is honestly the best feeling..
Also how cute is the packaging?! When I first opened the box, I actually squealed. I'm not even gonna lie. That's super embarrassing but it was honestly so nice! I've never received a package like this before! Some of the products were buried under the paper shreddings but this is kind of what it looked like when I opened it up. I was too excited to stop and take a picture when I first opened it... oops. For some reason I am just loving the shredded paper!
The first product I got is from the beloved Raspberry Collection. I've always loved the consistency of The Body Shop's body butters. I figured if I mixed an awesome formula with a delicious scent, I couldn't go wrong.
To continue the raspberry obsession, I also got their Lip Gloss in raspberry and mint. I haven't tried them out yet but I think they'll be good!
My skin has been acting out more than normal recently, and I've decided to go back to using Tea Tree Oil to see if it will help get rid of and prevent future blemishes. I have used Tea Tree Oil before, but never from The Body Shop.
I find it does dry out my skin a bit, but it doesn't get horrendously dry. If you're struggling with pesky blemishes I would definitely recommend trying Tea Tree Oil.
I also splurged a little and decided to try out a candle. The entire site was 40% off so I thought it would be the best time to try out some new products. I also love when they do their Buy 3, Get 3 Free deal! Anyway, I've recently gotten into trying out candles and I find that I really enjoy the fresher scents. I ended up getting the Aloe and Soft Linen scent. I haven't lit it yet, but I'm planning on lighting it soon (hopefully tonight).
Lastly, I bought a spray that can be used on your body, room or linens. I got the Pomegranate and Raspberry scent. I was a little skeptical about this but, like I said, the whole site was 40% off so I decided to give it a try.
This stuff smells AMAAAAAZING! I can't even describe how good this smells! I think it might be one of my new favourite scents... It's just fruity, sweet, and fresh. Three things I love when it comes to scents! It's definitely perfect for Spring/Summer. The only negative review I've seen on this spray is that the scent doesn't last very long.
After using it a couple times, I have noticed that it does fade rather quick.. But it honestly smells so good, that I'd be willing to re-purchase this once I run it. It's simply amazing. If they somehow find a way to make the scent stay longer, I will be on Cloud 9.
So far I am loving the products I've tried! If you've never tried anything from The Body Shop, I strongly suggest you do! Their products are not only amazing, but their company focuses are superb as well. They focus on defending human rights, protecting the planet, supporting community fair trade, and they are against animal testing! Such an incredible brand!
The next item I want to try is there honey bronzer! I've never tried bronzer before, but I've heard that their bronzer is amazing!
Let me know what your favourite products are from The Body Shop! Any recommendations?
