maddy's The Body Shop product reviews

hi!
for my first proper blog post I thought I would start things off by showing you and doing mini reviews of a few things from my favourite shop!

(sorry for the pictures not being the best quality, my camera has run out of battery!)

1. The Body Shop coconut body milk

I first got this in a travel size in a set from my friend, I used it all within a few weeks and desperately wanted some more. It was only after receiving a gift voucher that I got round to buying a big bottle. I love this moisturiser, as unlike a body butter (which I have always found too thick and takes ages to sink in)  it is really light and more of a liquid. It sinks in really quickly and feels really light on
your skin leaving it soft but not greasy. I also love how it comes with a spray top, which makes it really easy to apply. This bottle is taking me ages to get through as you only really need a few sprays for your whole body.



2. The Body Shop rainforest moisture hair butter for dry hair

This is by far the best hair mask I have ever used. It was actually Emma ( the co-owner of this blog) that recommended it to me and I am so glad she did. Most hair masks and conditioners contain an ingredient that coats your hair to make it look shiny rather than it actually making your hair healthier. This hair butter, however doesn't contain it, but actually makes your hair look naturally shiny and healthy. All you need to do is wash your hair and then after applying the butter you just have to leave it on for 10 minutes and then wash it off. Once I had used the butter and dried my hair, it was left looking really healthy, soft and manageable. I really recommend using this one every 2 weeks or so for much healthier hair!













3. The Body Shop Satsuma  perfume

I bought this perfume a few years ago but never really used it, but a few months ago I rediscovered it in my draw and started using it again. I really love Body Shop perfumes as they come in some really good scents but are never to heavy. I especially love this orangey one as it's really fruity and light and I feel like it just suits me. This kind of scent might not suit everyone but I'm personally not a fan of really heavy scents that don't really smell of anything in particular and so body shop ones are perfect for me.
( I bought this a few years ago so this exact scent might not be available any more)















4. The Body Shop lip balms

these lip balms are really moisturising and smell amazing. They give your lips a little bit of shine but no colour. Nothing complicated just a nice lip balm.














5. peppermint foot lotion

This is one of the best products for feet and an essential at any pamper evening . It leaves feet really nourished and soft especially if used with a foot scrub. It has a delicious peppermint smell and feels refreshing when applied, it's great if you've got tired feet and just need a pick-me-up. I put a generous amount on my feet and then put on socks before bed and woke up with much softer and moisturised feet. Perfect for sandal season.
