The Body Shop Shower Gels – British Rose and Moringa

The Body Shop Shower Gels - British Rose and Moringa

Another bane of my life apart from finding the perfect moisturizer is finding a good soap or a body wash which does not dry me up. LÓccitane almond shower oil seems to be a perfect choice for such a body wash but it is too pricey to be used daily. I was definitely intrigued by the British Rose range of body shop and wanted to try it for myself. And, then, the prices were reduced or sale was on or some such thing so I got these two body shop shower gels for myself among other things.

Unfortunately, the body shop shower gels smell amazing but do nothing for skin except cleaning it. Leaves skin dry and if you do not moisturize, it gets all white and flaky which is not a pretty sight.

The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Cream

Do you have a good day time moisturizer to recommend for me? I am looking for something without sun protection. Among the plethora I have tried in the last year itself from Kama Eladi Hydrating face cream to Just Herbs Indian Ginseng Elixir to Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting cream, I love Kama as a brand but their moisturizer felt too heavy for summer use, liked Just Herbs but not enough and Olay Regenerist is worth a second try. After all that, I got the body shop vitamin E moisture cream on a whim. Be forewarned, this is not a product for you if you do not like silicones on your face.

The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Cream

Price : approx. Rs 1,095 for 50ml though I am not sure

Not exactly inexpensive for a moisturizer, The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Cream is light and fluffy. On application, it spreads smoothly and gets absorbed instantly.  It hydrates well and makes skin look plump and soft. The hydration has to be locked in so I would follow it up with a face oil (wrong routine though, oil should go first). The combination would keep me happy for half a day at most but if I skip the oil, skin gets dehydrated very quickly, especially in drier weathers.

4 Luxury Beauty Products I am Loving

luxury beauty products

You can simply say that these are the products which I am absolutely in love with. Okay, there must be a few luxury beauty products in your stash which you have spent an inordinate amount on but have not regretted the expenditure. I am sharing my such products here. I have been using them for quite sometime but I have not finished any of them yet and they are all my first buys.

All four of them are luxury beauty products and come under indulgence category, if not absolutely expensive. The least cost is Rs 1200 which is equivalent to 18$ which does not look very expensive dollar wise but rupee wise comes under luxury segment. So, let me start. I am starting with the least expensive and moving on.

Luxury Beauty Products No. 1 – Kama Ayurveda Kokum & Almond Body Butter

Price : Rs 1195 for 250 gms

Smells delicious. Absolutely heavenly. Must for winters. Moisturizes and keeps skin soft and hydrated for more than a day. Must have for a pampering session. And, I smell delicious with this. In fact, I love to smell myself when I use this 😀

A definite winter product for extremely dry skin. For regular use, I prefer something inexpensive. Currently, I am using St. Ives mineral therapy which is absolutely not for this season. I need to get something else! So, if you really love to douse yourself in delicious products, this is one must-have.

The Body Shop Oils of Life Intensely Revitalizing Facial Oil Product Review

I was so excited for Oils of Life that I got it the first day of its release. Yeah, the advertising works 🙂 And, I have been using it on and off for almost six months now (got it in November). I am nearing the end of the bottle so decided it is time to review it. So, let me start.

The Body Shop Oils of Life Intensely Revitalizing Facial Oil Product Review

Price : Rs 3,095 for 30ml

Skin Type, Fragrance and Texture

I think it would suit all skin types. The texture of the oil is not heavy on skin, gets absorbed in a jiffy and has cumin oil which would, according to me, sit well on oily and combination skin.

The oil is colourless and smells awesome. It has the subtle cumin smell which is amazing and soothing for my nerves. It helps me calm down and does not linger long either.

Some Random Product Reviews – The Body Shop Disappointments

The Body Shop Wild Argan Oil, The Body Shop Cocoa Butter Shower Creme

When a product fails to live up to its expectations, inexpensive or not, we do get a little upset with the brand overall. Somehow, this happens with me on a regular basis with The Body Shop. Let me tell you why?

The Body Shop Wild Argan Oil

Price : Rs 1795 for 125ml

My Experience

First. The product has a long list of ingredients but I was disappointed to find silicones in it!

Secondly, I hate the packaging. It comes with a spray pump which dispenses just enough of product. For me, this pump did not work properly after day one. May be it is a batch issue. I have to open the pump and pour out the product. Another issue is that the product dries off around the cap which looks really bad in the long run.

The Body Shop Wooden Shaving Brush Product Review

So, guys!!! I am back with a little different product review. I went to TBS in February and came across the body shop wooden shaving brush. It was really soft and amazing so I thought about gifting it to a friend of mine who had birthday around the same time.

The Body Shop Wooden Shaving Brush Product Review

Price: Rs 495

Obviously, I haven’t used the body shop wooden shaving brush but only rubbed the bristles on my skin and the bristles are so soft and don’t really hurt the skin at all as opposed to other shaving brushes available. Now, I don’t know how many people still use the shaving brush (since the advent of Gillete gels and foams and all) but it really glides on the skin without hurting it or scratching is what I have been told. It is supposed to have been made from synthetic hair and it really feels so.

The Body Shop Spiced Vanilla Body Scrub

This is my first haul of The body shop and I got quite a few products in my stash now. For today, I shall be talking about the body shop spiced vanilla body scrub. So, let us start.

The Body Shop Spiced Vanilla Body Scrub Product Review

Price : Rs 875 for 200 ml (very expensive, though it seems normal now!!)

Let us start with smell. It just smells awesome – vanilla with a lot of hint of spice. The Body Shop Spiced Vanilla Body Scrub is creamy colored inclining towards brown due to cocoa butter and has a lot of spice and walnut shells. The walnut shells may feel harsh for the first time. I think sensitive skin should pass on. But, the second and third time were amazing with the scrub.

Using it after shower when the skin is thoroughly wet and warm, the butter gets absorbed well and moisturizes the skin from inside. And, the granules do not feel that harsh. The Body Shop Spiced Vanilla Body Scrub is extremely creamy and moderately thin in consistency so it keeps on sticking to the cap of the tub if it gets tilted or turned upside down.
