Ok, so I've been a bit addicted to the body shop at the moment. I know that apart from my halloween post the last thing I posted was body shop stuff but I just can't get enough. I only to be honest bought as much as I have as Glamour magazine were giving away money of vouchers in the current december issue. I naturally bought four magazines as they were also giving away four different nails inc. polishes that I just had to have as they are I think limited edition kate spade colours, I had to hunt around for all the colours so didn't get all the magazines at once and so used the vouchers as I bought each colour one at a time lol (I will do a separate post on these at some point but photographing is difficult for me at the moment as the auto focus on my dslr is broken). I got 3 £3 vouchers and a £15 pound voucher so naturally I had to get a few things.

Glamour magazine (sorry about the focus lol)


Cranberry joy body butter, I got this and ginger sparkle body butter on a 2 for £16 pound offer so they were £8 each a bit prices but they both smelled lovely and they have put me in a rather christmasy mood and are just what my skin needs as it is getting colder. I much prefer these scents to the sweet lemon body butter and they are also a nicer creamier texture as the lemon is a bit waxy.

Ginger sparkle body butter with the cute ginger bread man on the pot. I prefer the smell of the cranberry but this is  lot more christmassy in smell which I love. 
I also got a couple more perfumes. I got white musk libertine eau de parfum which was £13 but I used a £3 voucher so only paid £10 I like the smell but I think I may be allergic to it as It made my wrist very itchy after I had put it on, I'll have to see how it goes but my mum may be getting an extra christmas present :P. 

I also picked up the amazonian wild lily perfume oil which I mentioned in my previous post that I had been wanting this one. The scent is very strong and either doesn't last long or I get used to the smell and stop noticing it. Yet it does definitely smell like lilies. 

I also got the Japanese cherry blossom perfume oil, this is less strong and a lot more delicate smelling. (sorry if my descriptions don't help I just know that I like the smell not how to describe it :P) I bought both the perfume oils (£7 each) and lip balm (£2) using my £15 voucher and had to pay a £1 as well. 
The lip balm I got in passion berry and replaces an old one of these that I found packing for uni that I was scared to start using again as it was probably about 7 years old yuck. 

The last perfume I got was the Moringa eau de toilette which I think is a new scent I got this one yesterday using my last £3 voucher and had to pay £5.50 as it cost £8.50. This I've worn all day and am absolutely in love with and thing I'll ask for the body butter in this scent for christmas as I love this so much.  

I also used another of my £3 vouchers to get this plum lip balm which I'm loving as it does add a bit of colour and shine to my lips and I like to use this on low maintenance make-up days when I've stayed a bit to long in bed in the morning, this has been living in my bag. 

Hope you guys enjoy, I will hopefully have a couple more hauls and reviews up over the next week but I'm coming close to a uni deadline so might have to wait till I'm on christmas holidays.

What do you guys think of my new layout? Please leave me a comment :D

The Body Shop Haul/ review

Hey guys,

Another haul post today and a sort of review. I was walking past the body shop on my way home a couple days ago and saw they had a 50% off sale on body butters. I used to love the body shop as a kid and used to shop there regularly but haven't bought anything from them in a couple years. I used to love the mango body butter but when I went in and smelt it again it didn't smell as good. I ended up getting the sweet lemon body butter as I love a lemony scent. I also got the sweet lemon lip butter.

I have used these both a couple times now and really like them. I would definitely not have picked them up at full price but as the body butter was down to £5 and the lip butter to £2 I couldn't resist. Some people find the body butters very thick but I think they are perfect for the winter when my skin needs a bit of TLS. I am a massive fan of the simple packaging and love how the two packagings match. The lip butter looking like a miniature of the body butter, which is so cute and easily fits in my bag.

I then remembered that I hadn't shown you guys the products I got from body shop before I left for uni. I picked up the Indian Night Jasmine perfume oil (£7) which I love although haven't worn that much. I do like the perfume oils but when in a rush to go out I prefer a spritz perfume over a rub on one as it is quicker. I was very tempted to also get the I think its called wild amazonian lily but they only had a tester :(. I went to pay for the perfume and got talked into buying the dragon fruit lip butter for £1 which I am so glad I got as it smells incredible.

Ultimately my favourite product is the dragon fruit lip butter as I wear it most days and keep it in my bag. I am not sure on the lemon scent nor that I have bought it but it may grow on me lol.

Hope you enjoyed
Lauren
