The Body Shop Haul

Hi Guys! Recently I've been absolutely loving the Body Shop's stuff, so I thought I'd do a haul for you all! Some of these products were gifted to me on my birthday, and the others I've bought on trips to town.



The Honey mania Body Butter (£13) This is my first of the Body Shop's famous body butters. The scent is amazing, It's described by the body shop as a 'Rich, Floral Scent' which I would agree with completely, It's not so much a strong honey smell as you might expect, but I imagine it's more of a combination of wildflower honey with floral notes. It has a lovely thick buttery consistency and left my skin completely hydrated for 24 hours.



 I absolutely loved the Vitamin C Daily Moisturiser SPF30 (£13) moisturiser during my holiday in Spain. It gave my skin a lovely and radiant glow, and left it feeling lovely and soft and smooth. This was ideal for application during the morning, and due to it's SPF factor of 30, it kept my skin well protected- not to mention the fragrance! It's so lovely and zesty, and smells like oranges which really helpt my skin to wake up after late nights.


I've used the Vitamin C skin reviver (£13) a handful of times so far and haven't gotten round to give it a thorough testing. It has a sort of gel consistency with light reflecting particles running through it, which when applied to the skin helps to perk up your complexion and add a bit of glow. This, like the moisturiser has a gorgeous citrus scent, and I imagine would look great under a matte or semi matte foundation to add a bit of glow.


The All In One Instablur (£14) acts as a face perfecting primer in order to disguise imperfections. It has a silicone gel consistency that smoothes onto skin to reduce the appearance of pores and extend the life of makeup. I would say it's probably a great dupe of Benefit's the porefessional, but much more purse friendly! 


I'd heard so much hype surrounding the All in One BB cream (£12), and seeing as I was yet to purchase one, I decided to purchase in shade 02 It comes out the tube as a white cream, and has pigment filled capsules which burst on contact with the skin, releasing the tint, to suit your skintone. I'm hoping that as I get paler  in the winter this will still be the right shade match. It has a very light coverage which is perfect for no makeup makeup, but definitely benefits with a primer for lasting power. 


I'd heard so many bloggers raving about the Honey bronze Bronzing powder (£13), and how great it is for contouring. I went for the shade 02, which is the 2nd out of four shades. So far so good and I've been loving this either for contour or just to bronze up my cheeks a little. And oh wowzers the packaging is divine! The product is encased in a sleek brown compact with honey comb embossed into the pan, it's just such a beautiful product that I love to use.
