The Body Shop Body Butters - Review!

Hey Beauts,

I'm going to start todays post off by saying that I really don't like body creams. I hate the way they feel, the sticky feel they leave on your skin and how they feel when you climb into bed after applying it and you just stick to the bed sheets. I mainly put this down to only using 'cheap' body creams and I just haven't found one that doesn't do this to me yet.

However, a couple of weeks ago I discovered The Body Shop Body Butters (RRP: £13.00). I was given one as a present during Christmas 2012 and just left it in my draw thinking it would be the same as any other body cream I have ever used. But boy was I wrong. I tried it out and it just soaked right up into my skin not only leaving my skin feeling hydrated but it had none of the 'side effects' of body cream such as the sticky skin syndrome. The next morning my skin was feeling lovely and soft. Even bits of fluff or my hair were not even stuck to the sides of my legs. Everyones a winner!

But as well as this, the smell was amazing! I had the coconut one at the time and as soon as you open the lid, your nostrils are filled with such a wonderful scent. Even if applied onto the likes of sun-burn I don't think it wouldn sting just because how soft, creamy and silky the body butters are. Since discovering how much I loved this little pot of happiness I went onto The Body Shop website and did a little bit of online shopping picking up Cranberry Joy and Shea Butter which equally smell UH-Mazing and super softening!

I would highly recommend these body butters to anyone, especially if you aren't a fan of body creams! Have you tried any of The Body Shop Body Butters out before? And if so, what did you think of them? I'd also be curious as to if you know of any amazing body creams I should try?

The end of Christmas sales!

Hey Beauts,

So about a week ago now I did the last of my Christmas sales shopping! It was about 4am and I'd rediscovered a Body Shop Body Butter the night before that I loved. I hadn't shopped in The Body Shop for over a year so I popped on to their website to see what they had on offer! 

As you can see, I didn't go too crazy! I ended up spending £25 on all of this which is pretty good if you ask me! The snowman contained a 200ml Shea Body Butter & 50ml Shea Body Scrub, The Christmas cracker contained three Lip Butters in Shea, Coconut and my all time favourite - Mango. I then picked up a full size Cranberry Joy Body Butter which smells exactly like my dinner table on Christmas day with all the candles lit and finally I purchased a 250ml Passion Fruit Shower Gel which is perfect for a mouth watering morning shower to wake you up.

I have to say, I have never bought anything online from The Body Shop before and didn't know what to expect, but it arrived on my door step about 28 hours later which I was genuinely surprised with. I expected it to arrive in 3-4 working days - Not the next day! Impressed. Yes!

Sorry for the mini post today beauts, I'm absolutely shattered and thought I'd get this up as a review or two of these products will be following in the next couple of weeks! :) Have yo tried any of these products in the past? And do you recommend anything else from The Body Shop that I should try? Also I'd like to thank you for following on GFC, I've hit 50 followers and think this is a bit of an achievement! So thanks! <3

Be happy, Be beautiful and Be YOU!
