Lovely, delicious, Body Shop products

 I have to admit, I have an addiction to The Body Shop products. It all started in 6th grade when my friend gave me a gift pack of the strawberry scented body butter, hand soap, and shower gel. Every one of their products smells delicious, and they are environmentally friendly :) My favorite product of theirs has to be the body butters(I believe those are their most popular as well). All their body butters are super moisturizing and instantly get rid of any dry skin, in the winter time especially. In the summer time, they make my skin glow!! I recently ran out of a jumbo tub of the coconut scented body butter(my favorite), and a sweet lemon one. Unfortunately, they've stopped making the jumbo tubs :( These are the mini body butters I received for christmas. They came in a cute lollipop shaped container.



My thoughts on the scents, from the pale yellow one to the left:

Pale yellow color, Moringa: I don't really know how to describe this one but it is a light, sort of fluffy scent. I really like it, it's not too strong but you can definitely smell it. It kind of wakes me up when I put it on.

Orange color, Satsuma: If you love citrus, this smells delicious. Although it may have a tendency to make people think you slathered an orange all over your body, it's really refreshing and is great summer scent.

Brown color, Coconut: My favorite!! I don't really know if it smells like a coconut(as I have never really smelled one). At first smell, I wouldn't associate it with coconut either.  You know, that fake smelling air freshener type coconut scent. It is more of a warm, beachy scent. It's so so creamy, and the scent is pleasant without being overwhelming.

Red color, Strawberry: This one smells so delicious. Like a very fresh strawberry smoothie. I just love it. I don't know if this is normal, but it makes me happy when I put it on.

Cream color, Shea: This one smells like shea butter, which probably doesn't tell you much more than the name of scent did. It isn't an extremely strong scent, very neutral, with a hint of nuttiness. I think it would  be a good body butter to use perfume with. The smell of it probably wouldn't clash with the smell of the perfume. I have yet to try that out :)

I apologize for not having much of a constructive opinion, as I really like them all.

Some other products that I really like:



If you have really really dry hands in the winter(which I did last year). This helps a ton. My hands were chapped, and the skin was breaking. As soon as I put this on, I felt instant relief, and my hands were instantly moisturized. It only took a couple of days for them to heal. I suppose it smells like hemp seed oil, as that is it's main ingredient. The smell might be a little strong for some, but it's not too overbearing in my opinion.






This is nice little treat every time I go to wash my hands. It is soap free, I think that is what makes it non-drying(perfect for winter!). My hands even feel soft after I use it. Instead of my whole body smelling citrusy, just my hands and my bathroom do. The scent is more faint than the body butter as well. Of course, it is sold in other scents so you can choose which one you like best. This is an older one that I had, and just started using after I ran out of my other one. I think there is different packaging now.











Another The Body Shop product that I really liked, but unfortunately ran out of it, is the body scrub in sweet lemon. It's filled with exfoliating sugar crystals. I like to use it on my arms, feet, and legs(especially before shaving). It leaves a sort of oily film, which bothers some people, but I happen to really like it. It's only noticeable when you are in the shower, because oil and water don't mix. My skin feels super soft and moisturized afterwards, and all the dead skin is gone.

Well, thats all for now. Thanks for reading!!
