The Body Shop

I am slightly, just oh so slightly obsessed with The Body Shop. 

I felt that I should chat about a few products I own and state that I will be their ambassador for specials on my blog ... whether they like it or not! 

1. Tea Tree Range : 
 - Tea Tree Skin Clearing Facial Wash 
 - Tea Tree Skin Clearing Foaming Cleanser 
 - Tea Tree Skin Clearing Lotion 
 - Tea Tree Skin Clearing Blemish Fade Night Lotion 
 - Tea Tree Blotting Tissues 
 - Tea Tree Concealer 
 - Tea Tree Skin Clearing Wipes 

I love this range as your skin feels crazy fresh afterwards and so soft! It always has that "first-try" feel after you use it even if it is like the 100th time!
The facial washes are excellent - I especially like the Facial Wash over the Foaming Cleanser. The day Lotion has a very light feel where as the Night Lotion has an almost covered feel which definitely makes you feel like your face will work whilst you sleep. The Blotting Tissues are little wax paper pieces with a tea tree undertone for a safe blot on skin that has been a bit over exposed to the elements at any given time. They soak up excess oil on your face and keep you fresher all day without needing to wash your face and re-apply make-up. 
The concealer is my best item as it conceals marks whilst actually working to get rid of them. How great!?

2. Peppermint Foot Range :
 - Peppermint Reviving Foot Soak 
 - Peppermint Cooling Foot Lotion 
 - Peppermint Cooling Foot Spray 

The Peppermint foot range is awesome after a day of shoes! It feels so cooling - as it says - and really refreshes your feet. The smell is amazing and I guess it would take away any stink for sure! 

3. Vitamin C Range : 
 - Vitamin C Skin Boost 
 - Vitamin C Eye Reviver Duo 

This range is made to enlighten your skin and add an extra vibrance. There are two sides to the Eye Reviver Duo - a creamy pad and a liquify ball - and both work equally with your sleep to make your eyes radiate and to freshen them in the morning. The Skin Boost lotion has a velvet feel which is very surreal when used and I usually mesh it with my make up for a smooth blend onto my skin whilst adding an extra radiance. 

4. Cucumber : 
 - Freshening Water 

I use this if it has been a hot day and generally mix it in with some water to splash on my face for a fresh, "awake" feeling! It really works and smells great! It also helps to remove impurities and sometimes is used as a toner. 

5. Rainforest Radiance Range : 
 - Shampoo for colored hair 
 - Conditioner for colored hair 

Being The Body Shop's first eco-friendly range, this duo of shampoo and conditioner really makes you feel as though you are showering in a waterfall in a rainforest using the juices of the trees to make your hair feel beautiful. They worked it well with this to make you feel one with nature. Well with NO silicones, NO sulphates, NO colorants and NO paragons they aren't left with anything but natural clean!

6. Make- Up Range : 
 - Oil-Free Balancing Foundation 

At the moment I use their foundation with SPF 15. It really is non-greasy and does the right amount of covering up without looking too much. I especially like to mix a drop of the foundation with the Vitamin C Skin Boost for a cream that has a tint. 


7. Earth Lovers Range : 
 - Cucumber and Mint 
 - Watermelon and Eucalyptus 

These are their latest range and they are also the second of their eco-friendly range. I absolutely love watermelon and was tempted to take both watermelon bottles when I went to get in on their opening special of buy one, get half off a second. With around 7 options of essences to choose from these were my two favorite and I alternate everyday on them. 
These are my new favorite product from The Body Shop!

I encourage you to get to The Body Shop for a complete treat that works for you, the environment and the native countries of the world. The Body Shop card costs you nothing and gives you so much reward back for your luxury shopping. You earn one point for every R10 and you need to earn a minimum of 50 points per quarter to redeem a Cash Back voucher. 

You also will get notified about "secret specials" that no one else will get but you! How exciting - I have already used my secret special and it was very exhilarating getting 20% off my purchases whilst everyone around me was spending a lot! 

The best thing… just walk in and smell the watermelon, tea tree, oranges, cucumber, strawberry, vanilla, rainforest smells, peppermint and much more!
