The Body Shop Coconut Shower Cream

The Body Shop Coconut Shower Cream - £4.00

 

You may remember from a few weeks ago I did a haul which contained a load of The Body Shop coconut range products, and i've already talked about the eau de toilette and now i'm on to the shower cream.

 

I've used quite a few of The Body Shop shower products in the past and enjoyed using them. I've always used the shower gels though rather than a shower cream like this one is, so this is something different to try.

 

Shower creams are better than gels in some sense, they may not lather up as much as the gels but I can say this shower cream does a good job at lathering up. Also shower creams are more moisturising on the skin, after all they are a cream based product. This is something I really like in a shower product, and my eczema and dry skin really appreciates it.

 

Talking of eczema, that hasn't flared up when using this product, so that's a bonus. And I am in love with the coconut scent. The only couple of negative points that I have is that the plastic bottle it comes in is so tough that it is hard to squeeze the last of the product out when you are coming to the end of it. I've always had that problem with Body Shop shower and hair products actually, and it puts me off buying them if i'm honest. Also £4.00 is a tad more than I wish to pay for a shower gel really, but that's just me being a cheap skate.

 

If you're after a coconut scented shower product then this would be a good one to try, but I still think something like Original Source Coconut shower gel would work just as well and it is at least half the price of this and more than that sometimes.

Best of Easter Beauty Offers

Don't you just love Easter time? not only do we get to indulge in easter eggs but the offers in store and online go a bit bananas too. I've noticed a lot of them floating around in the last few days and thought i'd share my favourite ones with you.

Boots

Boots are having their infamous 3 for 2 offer across their cosmetics and nail products. It feels like they've only just done a 3 for 2 but i'm not complaining, it's always a good deal.

 

Feel Unique

If you are a fan of Feel Unique they have a 20% off offer rolled out across all their product lines if you spend over £20. And if you spend over £10 (which is easily done I would think) then you will get free delivery, that includes anywhere in the world. How can you ignore a good deal like that?

The Body Shop

The Body Shop is the Queen of special offers, I can't remember the last time when they didn't have an offer on of some kind. And this Bank Holiday Easter Weekend is no exception. With £10 off when you spend £25 with the unique code.

 

Beauty Bay

I've shopped with Beauty Bay before and was impressed by their service, and this Easter Weekend there are three offers on depending on how much you spend. Of course the more you spend the more you save. Anything from 10% on all orders to 20% off when you spend £80.

 

The Perfume Shop

If perfume is more up your alley, then The Perfume Shop are doing up to 50% off selected products. Treat yourself to a new fragrance ready for the spring and summer, i'm eyeing up the new spring edition Marc Jacobs Daisy Delight, and also the new Dolce and Gabbana Dolce perfume.

Enjoy your Easter weekend whatever you're doing.

The Body Shop Coconut Eau De Toilette

 The Body Shop Eau de Toilette - 8.50

 

I honestly don't know where my love of coconut scented things have come from recently. I used to really dislike anything to do with coconut, maybe it's my feelings towards the Bounty chocolate bar that put me off coconut things, but now i'm in love and last month I went a bit crazy and bought a load of coconut products from The Body Shop. This Eau de Toilette being one of them.

 

This is not the first Eau de Toilette from The Body Shop that i've ever had, I used to have some back in my teenage years and for the life of me I can't remember what they were, but I know they definitely weren't ones like these, which are linked with the different ranges that The Body Shop have.

 

I think coconut reminds people of summer and nice tropical sunny holidays, it does for me anyway (not that i've ever been on any kind of tropical holiday!) and it would indeed make a great fragrance for the summer time and i'm wearing it in spring time too, why not.

 

It does of course have a defining coconut scent but there is almost a bit of creamy almost vanilla scent to it in a way. I'm no good with different notes within perfumes, but its a lovely mixture between coconut and a sweet warm note of some kind i'd say.

 

The Body Shop, annoyingly, doesn't put all the notes within the perfume in the description on their website. But it describes it as a tropical, creamy scent which is pretty spot on with what I thought it smelt like.

 

This is a 30ml bottle and for £8.50 that is a good price considering you can spent triple that on a 30ml bottle of any other perfume of a more expensive brand for example. So when the 30ml runs out it will be cheap to repurchase, and if you get it during one of their sales (which is a very common occurance in The Body Shop, at the moment they have 40% off) it really is a good buy.

 

So if you're already a fan of the coconut range of products in The Body Shop, or if you just fancy trying a new fragrance for the sunnier months approaching, then go and have a smell of this next time you're out shopping.

Discount Outlet - Mini Haul!

 

 This is the first haul i've written about on my blog, it's not a particularly big haul at all, in fact it is rather on the small side with just three items (well a lot more if you count the second one as not just one product, which it isn't really), but I wanted to share the great deals that i've found for you guys!

 

First of all I must say this shopping spree was rather impromptu, and my sister and I only wanted to go to the Yankee Candle shop in the outlet as we know how much of a good deal the offers in the shop can be, so we headed to the Bridgend Designer Outlet which is about a 40 minute drive from where we live and also had some lunch and browsed around the shops and spent more than I was even contemplating buying when we went there.

 

1.) Yankee Candle Sun and Sand Medium Pillar Candle - £7.50

 

When going to a discount shop for Yankee Candles you never know what candles you are going to find, and this time round I found a load of the Sun and Sand medium pillar candles. I already love this scent and it has now been discontinued so I thought i'd get another one. Also the main draw point to it was that these medium pillar candles normally retail for £14.99 but this was discounted to £7.50, which is an amazing price for the amount of wax you get! As I said this is discontinued and I can't find it online so I can't link it for you, sadly.

 

2.) The Body Shop - Coconut set - £14.50

 

This was my largest buy of the day, and I don't even know what this set is called and you can't buy this online at The Body Shop so I couldn't link it on this post (I have linked the Coconut range as a whole). But this set contains the Coconut Eau de toilette, Coconut Shower Creme, Coconut Body Milk Lotion, Coconut Soap and the Strawberry Lipbalm. I initially wanted to just get the Body Milk but that was £8.00 and when I spotted this for £14.50 I thought for value for money for all those products I had to pick it up. It normally retails for £24.50 so that saves me a tenner!

 

3.) The Body Shop - Vineyard Peach Shower Gel - £3.00

 

This was a complete impulse purchase, as I was in the clearance section of the same Body Shop store and I smelt this and I instantly wanted it, it's just a pure peach scent! I'm going to really enjoy using this I can tell. I'm not sure if the Vineyard Peach line is limited edition, or it's new and it's selling out fast, but it's not in stock online at the moment. Anyone please feel free to let me know on that one. I really hope it's not limited edition, it smells so good!

 

 

I will do a more indepth review on each of these products, including individual reviews on the coconut products within the set, in the coming weeks.

The Body Shop - Vitamin E Eye Cream

 

The Body Shop Vitamin E Eye Cream - £10.00

 

I don't know when the right time to start using eye creams are, but i'm now at the age of 23 and i'll be 24 near the end of this year so my age is catching up with me faster than i'd like. Not that this is an anti-aging product in the slightest, but I think it is important to look after your eye area as it is the most delicate area of skin on your face. Also the whole 'your eyes are the key to your soul' phrase kind of rings true, when you're ill or just not looking your best it shows first around your eyes, so i've come to the realisation that I want to try looking at some good eye creams.

 

This is the first eye cream i've ever tried, and for £10.00 this may seem a tad steep for a cream, especially as it is only 15ml but I suppose it has more properties in it that makes it more expensive, plus it is a Body Shop product and they aren't always the cheapest. But I did like the fact it was made with Vitamin E as that is known for making the skin lovely and smooth.

 

This eye creams claims to help with puffiness, fine lines and dark circles. Now for me it hasn't worked on the fine lines, I do have a few but they aren't too bad and I don't suffer with puffy eyes either it's just some dark circles now and again. I don't think it has helped too much with the dark circles, they aren't severe enough that i've noticed if it's worked or not. I did however notice that the area around my eyes looked a lot brighter and more awake, as you can see by the next picture.

 

I was disappointed in the fact that it didn't make my under eye area feel smooth, it felt sticky if anything. Also I needed to shake the tube a few times to get it to come out as a white cream, otherwise it just came out like water. I don't know if that means mine has gone bad, or if it was just a bad one that I got, but it was still a concern.

 

All in all I probably wouldn't recommend this eye cream, it was too sticky for me and the fact I didn't notice much difference, as well as the hastle to have to shake it for a while to get it to turn into a cream was a pain. It's a shame because I love Body Shop products normally, but this one is not for me.

 

If you do want to try this out for yourself it is avaliable

for £10.00
