THE BODY SHOP HAUL

Back at it again with a post, this time it's on a recent haul at The Body Shop. 

It's no surprise when I say that I flipping love The body Shop. Especially at this time of year, as they excel themselves when it comes to christmas gifts/christmas collection. You can never go wrong with purchasing something from this brand.

This haul was 100% enabled by the fact they had an offer online, spend over £50 and get £25 off your bill. This has now expired but if I get this post up in time *fingers crossed* they will still have their offer of 40% off in-store and online, which applies to most of their ranges. 

(I apologise if this offer has now expired, but they always have offers on so wait till the next offer becomes available before you commit to a purchase. You can always get a discount of the full RPR when shopping at The Body Shop).

So what did I get?

• I repurchased the vitamin C moisturiser (£16). I bloody loved this the first time I used it, and visibly saw my skin change once I stopped. I concluded that my skin loves vitamin C, and that I should never be without this. It evened out my skin tone by fixing my pigmentation issues. This is a great moisturiser for the more normal/oily skin types due to the gel constancy. It isn't thick so doesn't leave you greasy, but also hydrates your face for instant make up application.
• Vitamin C 10 day glow boosting concentrate (£16). I've never seen this in-store and stubbled across it online. Its a 10 ml serum containing 5% vitamin c once you've mixed the serum and powder together. It claims to improve dull tired and textured skin. You must use it within 10 days, and it can be applied AM and PM. I think it's an intense treatment to improve dark pigmentation. The reviews online are very promising. 
• Spiced apple and frosted berries candles (£10 each). I got these to burn whilst I'm at home for christmas. My boyfriend has insisted on burning one of them in our room (he turns into a 5 year old at christmas which is kinda cute). They smell unbelievable, and are a decent size for their price. 200 g and I picked mine up for £6.00!
• I ran out of body moisturiser and thought it was only fair to pick up the spiced apple body butter (£14). I must say The Body Shop's body butters are perfect for when the weather gets that bit colder, I find them too thick in summer. I've applied this for the first time today, and god I literally smell of christmas. It reminds me of my Grandma's signature "christmas scent" and takes me back to when I was 5/6 years old and we would have a huge family boxing day. I did find that this scent was slight different to the candle, may due to the change in formulation for each product. However, its super hydrating obvs.
• Oils of life intensively revitalising eye-cream gel (£20). I've never tried anything from the oils of life range, but needed a new eye cream and because I've previously love the drops of youth eye concentrate I thought I'd give this one a try. It was between this and the Origins GinZing eye cream, but I was a bit anxious about trying from a brand that I'd never used before even though it had great reviews! It claims to improve dark circles, smooth the eye contour and wrinkles. I bought it to target my dark circles and to hydrate my eye contour. Excited to see how it performs.

I shall report back with reviews in a month or so on the skincare items.
