THE BODY SHOP BEAUTY HAUL: BLUSHER, MASCARA, PERFUME AND OVERNIGHT SERUM-IN-OIL - REVIEW


I am an avid lover of The Body Shop and their products from how the products are made, to the result of the product I take home. First of all, they are against animal testing and as a vegetarian and animal-lover, that news bodes well with me. Their products - and most of their containers - don't harm our planet and The Body Shop defend Human Rights.


It was my birthday in May and as a present, my mum gave me a £25 gift card so off I went to the The Body Shop. On that day I also signed up for a 'Love Your Body' membership card for £5, it gives me 10% off each purchase, as well as free gifts and free birthday present - as you can probably tell, I was happy by this news - not only did I have £25 to spend of someone elses' money, I also got money off of that too. This is what I bought...

The Body Shop Super Volume Mascara 10ml in 01 Black
The Body Shop White Musk Eau De Parfum 60ml
The Body Shop Vitamin E Overnight Serum-in-oil 28ml
The Body Shop All-In-One Cheek in 02 Ginger
Super Volume Mascara 10 ml in 01 Black: For a while now, I have been using mascara by Soap and Glory's Makeup Range and I am very fussy with the types of mascara I wear. I am someone who 'cakes' it on to make my lashes as long and big as possible so if I'm honest, I was a bit sceptical. But it suits me and my needs well, I layer it about 3 times and after that I am satisfied. My lashes look longer and fuller in an instant. This mascara is also very tough and stays on throughout the day without the look of my lashes being affected.

White Musk Libertine Eau De Parfum (perfume) 60ml: Deciding between the perfumes was a very hard decision. There were too that were similar so it was hard to choose. I ended up choosing White Musk Libertine as it was a stronger smell and, obviously, 'muskier'. The smell is simply gorgeous and I can't get enough of the fragrance however, in the heat we are having at the moment, it is a bit too much as it is so strong - but any other time of the year, it would be perfect!

Vitamin E Overnight Serum-In-Oil 28ml: I will most probably write a blog post individually for this product but here's a summary - Brilliantly fragrance and gorgeously made. The oil isn't too thick and isn't too thin, and gives a great coverage on my skin - just one squirt of the pipette will be enough to cover the skin on your face and skin. I apply just before I'm going to bed and I can feel the effects when I wake up in the morning. More to come on that one...

All-In-One Cheek in 02 Ginger: Me and blusher don't usually have a great relationship and if I'm completely honest, I can't ever apply it the way I want it too. But this is easy to apply and stays in one piece, finally! So many of my past blushers break into a million pieces as soon as I get them but this one is still going strong. The shade may be a little too pink for my pale skin and I wish I had got the lighter shade, but apart from that I am very happy with these little pot of beauty.
