I may possibly have splurged a little....oops!
It was completely worth it though thanks to a little luck and good timing.
The first week of October The Body Shop had a promotion for card holders; 20% off all items (make-up and skin-care) a free gift if you spend over £25, and additionally I was on the last stamp of my card, giving me another free gift worth £10. Life was good.
It was difficult deciding exactly what to choose as I hadn't long brought a few skincare bits, but you can see the items I chose below, along with a review snippet from the tried and tested so far!
Prime to perfection face and eye duo
Now this one is cheating a bit, as I have used the face primer before and therefore its' a repurchase. This means only one thing; I love it!
The face primer seems to work well on my oily-combination skin, smoothing, resurfacing and stopping that midday shine.
The eye shadow primer is still good, but I wouldn't rate it as highly. Tends to have a little more slide to it. If it wasn't in the duo set I think you could find something better.
Carbon eye definer - purple
I can't lie, this was a disappointing product. I brought the gorgeous smoky purple colour, to brighten and contrast with green eyes. Thing issue is, the product barely comes out. It has very little pigmentation on the waterline, or anywhere else. Beautiful colour, but definitely won't be repurchasing.
Camomile cleansing butter
So good for such a small price! A little goes a long way, and this buttery goodness just melts off my makeup after a hard day's work. I do use a few other products after, like the Garnier Micellar Water just to ensure all the eye make-up is off, but all-in-all its' good stuff!
The other bits are still in the pipeline to be tested, but I'm sure I'll be reviewing soon.
Have you tried any of these?
What do you think about them?
