The Body Shop Products Review

 Hi there! 
So recently I have been really into face/body care products. My skin isn't TERRIBLE but I like to buy things for when something does pop up on my face. I think I was on Zoella's blog where I remembered that The Body Shop existed. I went online and found a good number of things for a pretty decent price because of all the sales that were going on when I bought them. I am actually really pleased with all of the products.

First of all, this is actually just a picture of the box that all the products came in. They were all buried under a HUGE pile of shredded paper things. I'm not really sure what to call them. I kind of had to dig through it to find everything. My cat does enjoy the box though so I've kept it.

This is the Mini Grapefruit Body Butter. I generally don't buy body butters and things like that because I like to stick to the cheap bottled lotion from a drug store but this was actually free. There was an ad on The Body Shop facebook page that offered a free mini product with the promo code "like" so I figured why not? Even though this was a mini body butter it was a little bit bigger than I expected which was totally fine with me. I love this body butter. A lot of the times I'm scared to buy fruit scented body butters or anything because they tend to smell extremely strong but the smell was really nice. It was light and you could almost eat it! Lastly, the body butter itself works so well. A few weeks ago I went to the beach and thought it'd be a good idea to NOT wear sunblock even though I was going to be in the sun for 10 hours. Anyway I ended up sunburned really badly and my legs started peeling (disgusting I know) but every time I've used this butter the skin wouldn't peel and it wouldn't look like it was either! So I am really really impressed with this product and if it is ever free again I'd definitely get it. 

Unfortunately I have not tried this Mango Sugar Body Scrub yet but it smells wonderful. I think all Body Shop products always smell good enough to eat. The mango scent is light and sweet but it is not overpowering. As I said earlier I got sunburned and my skin is peeling, so I didn't think exfoliating my skin was the best idea. I don't regret buying this for $10 seeing as it was 50% off!

This is the Pressed Face Powder in Shade 06. I paid $9.50 because this was also on sale. I think this is one of my favorite makeup items. I usually don't wear a lot of makeup so I'm pretty picky with what I put on my face. I trust that this won't ruin my skin too badly because The Body Shop is pretty much known for skin care and things. I did buy this online but I was smart enough to go to the actual store and find out my shade so I was not worried about the color at all. I use this powder basically everyday because of how much I like the feel of it. I usually use foundation, then a concealer that is a little too light for my skin so using the powder makes me not too pale. Also, when I use it my face is smoother than ever. It leaves a really soft feel so you can't even tell that you're wearing it at all. 

Lastly, the Tea Tree Blemish Gel Stick is awesome. This is mostly for the random pimples I get that are always extremely red. When I got it, I used it that same night and the pimple that I had was mostly gone. It was a lot more flat and the redness faded a great deal. Online it had good reviews so I thought I'd try it and I have to say they were pretty accurate. I'm in love with how fast this works and how all you have to do is dab it onto the spot and sleep it off. Then in the morning you're good to go! The best part was that I only paid $4.50 for this since it was a clearance item and those were buy one get one half off (the other item being the face powder). 

I love all these products from The Body Shop 
and I hope you found this review little helpful!

Love, 
Vy
