Body Shop Stop

I walked into the Body Shop and I was trapped. To put it simply.

Make-up and facial skin care is currently on a 3 for 2 offer, so this, combined with my 10% discount card, and £5 free birthday gift obviously = multiple purchases doesn't it?

What to choose, what to choose....

So many reviews have absolutely raved about the All-In-One Instablur, 'Primer, Shine Control, Blemish cover'.  At £14.00 it took a while to decide to buy it, but I'm hopeful it will provide some shine control for my oily-combination skin. I'll let you know.

I've also been eyeing up a shimmer brick for a while now. I am lucky enough to get discount off the make-up at John Lewis, so I've been browsing the Bobbi Brown ones for a long time now, never quite sure enough to purchase. When I saw this pinky-peachy toned delight I couldn't say no! I love the shimmer in it, and I think it will be perfect for pale-blonde complexions.

Finally the skincare item - a Blue Corn 3-in-1 Deep Cleansing Mask. This product claims to exfoliate, cleanse and moisturise - three juxtaposing things right? It smells delicious and fresh, and what real drew me in (as with most Body Shop Products) is its' high ethical standards. As a geography graduate, and having pursued my career in the same field, I like to be aware of what's going on around me, and where the goods I consume have come from. The Shea butter is FairTrade and comes from Ghana combining two awesome things 1. That people who produce the product are paid fairly for the goods they source and 2. It's from Ghana - a place I would absolutely love to explore one day!

If you've tried any of these products and have an opinion I'd love to know! Have I made the right choices, or are there better products hiding in the Body Shop?

All makeup and skincare is 3 for 2 at the moment so I'd suggest you go and have a little browse!
