The Body Shop Review

So I was very naughty last month, online shopping has been the death of me (more importantly my bank account). As you may know The Body Shop is a brand which caters for all aspects surrounding skin, this includes beneficial products that contain natural ingredients sourced from all around the globe. The distinctive brand name echoes luxury but can be considered quite pricey, this is why I would only usually purchase products when that sale is on gurl! As I have the app on my IPhone I can easily keep updated and purchase things whilst being on the move, this has proved to be the case in this instance. So without further ado let’s get on with the review…
 
 
 

 Where do I begin, well first off I am utterly besotted with this product! It is literally love at first wash…the smell is very subtle and is able to find a perfect balance between sweet but yet not too overpowering. I have been using this product non-stop throughout the month of June and I can safely say it is my number one body wash. It not only serves the generic purpose of making your body smell nice, but also manages to leave your skin feeling extremely hydrated and smooth to touch. I have previously tried both the Blueberry and the Pomegranate shower gels, and they have equally had the same effect. The packaging is simple yet informative as it gives a brief description of the product and also includes a segment about the packaging itself, as it states ‘we make our bottles with 30% recycled plastics’. I am unable to say any negative points about this product, as I feel it has been a positive purchase. RRP: 250ml - £4.00 (I got mine in the sale online for £2.70)
 
 
This product combined with the shower gel is just immense, together they make you feel like one big almond (if only haha). I literally have five of these bad boys (check the picture if you don’t believe me), I feel somewhat like a hoarder but this just proves how amazing this product is. I first purchased the Coconut body butter around 2 years ago and since have purchased the Moroccan Rose, Brazil nut and now obviously the Almond edition. This has proved to be my favourite as it gives off a fresh scent which I have received a lot of compliments about, and also has a lightweight consistency. The smell is exactly the same as the shower gel and is something I will never get bored of. The only con I would mention about the product is the price as it is £13.00(200ml), however I would definitely recommend getting these when they have a promotion on, as I managed to get mine for £3(absolute bargain, if I do say so myself).
 
 
 
 I think I should confess, I am Almond obsessed! Again this product does exactly what it says on the tin (Ronseal), it moisturises your hands and conditions nails whilst giving off a phenomenal scent. This product is a must for me, as I do suffer from eczema and so always need to keep my hands hydrated. A little goes a long way with this product and it isn’t heavily fragranced which prevents my skin from flaring.  It is quite small and therefore handbag size which is great for me and my Mary Poppins bag. Similar to the body butter the only downside is the price, as it is £5.00 for 30ml but I have noticed a significant difference about my skin and so I will continue to use this, until a better alternative arises.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Finally a non-Almond associated product! This mist is carried with me at all times, you never know when I mist moment could arise. As I do use public transport the atmosphere isn’t always that perfume-friendly, and I also go to the gym, so this product is definitely convenient in these situations. Just one spritz of this is enough as it is highly fragranced, meaning the product won’t be used up too fast. The packaging is yet again simple but quite elegant as it features quite neutral colours. Every time I do spray this I am fondly reminded of the Rubicon advert (she like da mango, o-o-o she like da mango! How very sad haha). As with some of the other products the price is the only let-down as it is £7.50 for 100ml(I got mine for £4.00 in the sale), but I suppose you only get what you pay for.  
 
 
 
If you’ve made it this far, praise the LAWD! As you’ve probably realised there’s a slight trend within this review, 3 out of the 4 products are of the Almond family (favouritism much..). I can’t recommend these products enough, I acknowledge that the price may prove quite expensive for some, however the overall quality of each product proves its worth, without forgetting they are free from animal testing! I hope you have enjoyed this mini review, of some of my personal favourites from The Body Shop collection, I would love to hear any other product recommendations as I passionately love this brand.

 
Many thanks for reading,
