[Body Shop] Favourites of the Day: April 15th

   

1. Sweet Sale Scores:    

Today's favourite's of the day are subsets of a bigger favourite of mine....Sweet Sale Scores! The Body Shop was having a sale a little while ago where if you bought 5 items you got 50% off, and if the total was over 50$ before the 50% discount was applied you also got Free Shipping. I also have a LYB Body Shop Membership so got an additional 10% off. In total, I ended up scoring all of these for a total of $41 (including tax) even though the total worth was $92. I was able to save $51 - more than I ended up paying. 

 

• Body Shop Rainforest Moisture Hair Butter: This is sort of like a hair mask, you leave it in for about 5 min before washing it out and it leaves your hair 100x softer than a regular conditioner. It also smells amazing! I highly reccomend it. When it's not on sale, it retails for about $14. The tub is huge though and a little goes a long way. 

 

• Body Shop Seaweed Facial Exfoliator:  Not too aggravating and yet leaves your skin perfectly smooth and clear. I use this daily and highly reccommend it to anyone looking for a new exfoliator/cleanser. Again, when not on sale, it retails for about $14.50, but again, lasts quite a long time.

 

•   Body Shop Tea Tree Exfoliating Pads: These are hands-down my favourite body-shop product. They are perfect for cleansing your face on the go! They are ideal for taking in your Gym-Bag post-work-out, or for travelling/times when you need to spend the night away from home. They are just as effective as a regular face wash but require no sink/water. You can even use them quickly in the car! They fully remove makeup and leave your skin tea-tree-y clean (that's a word...right?) They retail for about $15 but at 40 pads (you only need 1 - unless, you wear really heavy makeup, maybe 2) they are less than 50cents a pad. 

 

• Body Shop Vitamin C Microdermabrasion: This is amazing. Obviously it's not the same as getting microdermabrasion at a spa...but it keeps your skin extremely smooth and maybe this is just my imagination, but I like to think it gives it a bit of a glow as well. It's extremely rough...basically like rubbing sand all over your face...so I would not recommend it if you have sensitive skin. You are only supposed to use a tiny amount of it once or twice a week because of how strong it is, which is why this $20 75ml bottle lasts several, several months. 

• Body Shop Honey Bronzing Powder: I am extremely pale, so this is my Summer-Saviour. It comes in about 5 shades, so you can pick your shade based on if you're ghostly pale like myself, or already sporting a golden bronze... This bronzer isn't shimmery/sparkly - so you don't have to worry about dazzling in the sun like Edward. It's matte and stays on all day long. I couldn't be happier with this. I highly recommend it! It costs about $18.50 - how long it lasts you will obviously depend on how often/how much you wear - but a little goes a long way, and as mentioned, it lasts all day!

Ps. Despite my overenthusiasm I'm not in any way affiliated with the Body Shop/ am not rewarded in any way for doing reviews for them...although based on how much I praise them I should be :P
