Hi ladies,
Here are some goodies I picked up in The Body Shop. I haven't been in there in years. I feel that the products are very over priced for the quality. Their products are not tested on animals and all their butters are fair trade so that's good!
I got Passion Fruit Body Butter (€17), Shea Lip Butter (€7), Cream Blush and Rose Petal Blush (both reduced price) The body butter is very very sweet smelling (think it might actually put me off eating chocolate when I'm wearing it!) but it is incredible moisturising, my skin feels extremely soft and bump free, Yay! The Shea Lip Butter is a little drying, don't think I would re-purchase it.
This blush looks so pretty.The colour is cute, it's quite similar to Benefit Dandelion. I love the flower embossing however, there are chunks of glitter added in to the top layer...a very unwelcome addition! I think these retail for €16, I got it for €9. It definitely isn't worth the full price; it's quite chalky and the colour isn't great on my skin!
The liquid blush reminds me of MAC Peachykeen. It is a tawny colour but gives a similar flush to Peachykeen. I wanted a cream blush as powder is a little heavy for summer. I paid €7 for this, it was reduced so I'm not sure what the full retail price is. The colour is gorgeous and it is quite pigmented, a little goes a long way.
Think I'll stick to buying body products instead of make-up from The Body Shop! I don't know how they justify their prices.
Here's my video:

I like the Moringa body butter alot. Also strawberry one too. The good thing with bodyshop in the U.S. is that you can return products that you don't like with no time limit.

I remember going into the Body Shop when I was younger, becouse the lip butters were a "hot" item at my scool... But never bought anything becouse of, yes... the price...

I agree that the prices are a bit much for the quality and sometime the quantity of the product. I used to buy the body butters but have stopped since they are now $20CDN and most of them don't smell as good as they used to; they smell a bit too much like plastic. One of the few products that I do really like is the lengthening/defining mascara.

I also think that The Body Shop is very overpriced. Their body products are nice but not really worth the money. I am also not keen on the makeup. I bought their foundation brush and ended up giving it away!!! xx
