The Body Shop Foundation Lip Butter

I have been fond of TBS lip butters and when I saw this one and it benefits charity, I thought it was a win-win situation. The shea butter enriched lip butter goes on smoothly and creamy. However, the white hued lip butter leaves my lip with a white tint. The hydration and moisture evaporates after my first sip of water. A definite fail.

The Body Shop - Pink Grapefruit Body Gel

The soap free shower gel provides a rich lather in a sweet and refreshing grapefruit scent. The body wash is packed with pink grapefruit seed oil that energizes and lifts spirits. The sweet scented body wash was a treat to use in mornings when I couldn’t get up. The citrus perked me up almost instantly.  I didn’t notice any hydrating or moisturizing properties in the body gel so be sure to follow up with a moisturizer.

TBS Born Lippy Pomegranate Lip Balm

The cult classic lip balm in now in a stick format, which means less sticky fingers! I have tried a couple of TBS lip products and they are usually hit or miss. The lip balm supposedly has a transparent shimmer but I didn’t see anything. The lip balm does impart a slight subtle shine but like the shimmer it’s hardly apparent. The lip balm does moisturize and condition my lip and has a sweet scent --- I could see how it can be considered a pomegranate scent but I wouldn’t consider it pomegranate, if I was smelling it for the first time. A very average lip balm, I might get it again if it was heavily discounted, otherwise I would stick with the basics -  Chapstick/Nivea/Blistex.

TBS Born Lippy Pomegranate Lip Balm

The cult favorite lip moisturizer is now in the stick format. I love TBS lip balms but hate the tubs since my fingers are not always clean. The new stick format was easier and more portable as well. The lip balm promises to give a pop of color, a bit of shimmer and shine, condition and moisturize lips.  I didn't notice any shimmer or color but my lips were soft and moisturized but it didn't last very long. The lip balm had a sweet pomegranate scent but no flavor.

The Body Shop Coconut Body Butter

The creamy body butter is packed with nourishing beeswax, tropical virgin organic coconut oil and hydrating shea butter. Although, the body butter claims to have a tropical coconut scent; it smells more like cocoa butter to me. It also has the same consistency and melt in your skin texture. My skin felt soft and smooth but I didn’t get 24 hour hydration as promised. Overall, it’s a mediocre product. I feel like you can get the same quality from a jar of Palmer’s Cocoa butter from the drugstore without the $20 price tag.

The Body Shop Chocomania Sugar Body Scrub

What better way to celebrate the holidays than with chocolate. This deliciously chocolate scented sugar body scrub is packed with cocoa butter and organic cane sugar. The sugar scrub removes dead skin cells, stimulates circulation, and leaves skin feeling softer and smoother. I love how soft my skin felt and the sweet chocolate scent on my skin. If you love chocolate and body scrubs, you  should definitely give this a try.

The Body Shop Coconut Soap

The vegetable-based, preservative-free coconut soap is made with organic pure cold pressed virgin coconut, palm  and soy oil. The creamy soap lathers well and left my skin feeling smooth and soft.  The scent is very subtle and I don’t notice it on my skin afterwards. I am not sure why this is called coconut soap as the scent reminds me of cocoa butter instead. I prefer the scent of The Body Shop - Moringa Soap scent instead.

The Body Shop Pomegranate Night Creme

As most people who know me or read my blog, I love pomegranates. I am willing to try any product that is made with pomegranate even if it is a crappy product [that isn’t saying much about me :/]  Thankfully, this night cream was not a huge disappointment but a new favorite from the body shop.  The luxurious night creme melt into my skin and left my skin feeling smooth, soft and hydrated.  The cream was really rich and a little of the cream was enough to show results on my face. But honestly, the sweet cream was such a treat to use that I used way more than needed. I would definitely get this cream again as I applied it in the night and woke up and my face was still hydrated and smooth.
