Official Promo Pic From The Body Shop Ireland.
Heya :) So I didn't think id be doing a new post until I got my blog revamped but change of plan. Anywho. As some of you may already know The Body Shop are launching a new range next month just in time for Valentines day called "Chocomania".
As I work in The Body Shop I was really lucky enough to try out and review the new range before it hits the shelves.
The range consists of a shower gel, body scrub, a body lotion, a body butter, a lip butter and little heart shaped soaps. Before I continue I have to let people know that amazing as this range is. It's not edible. :P And of course as always I'll give my 100% opinion on this range. I wasn't asked to give it a great review or sweeten it up. (No pun intended).
So first up I tried the shower cream which is €8.95 for a 250ml. As all body shop shower creams/gels this is soap free which means its kinder to the environment. It's a pearlescent shower cream that contains real Community Fair Trade Cocoa Butter and has an amazing chocolate scent.
As it contains Cocoa Butter it doesn't dry out the skin. The shower gel comes out brown in colour but turns white/clear as soon as its mixed with water. A little goes a long way so use a bath lily with it so get maximum usage. I loved this shower gel as it smelt amazing and left my skin feeling soft and smooth.
The Body Scrub. This is €18.95 for a 200ml. A little pricey but so worth it. It's brilliant for exfoliating the skin and also leaves the skin feeling real refreshed and soft. Also the scrub contains Cocoa butter and Cane sugar which is great for boosting circulation and of course removing dead skin cells.
The Body Lotion. The body lotion is €13.50 for a 250ml which is great and comes in a handy bottle with a pump for easy application. The lotion is lighter in texture and id recommend it for people with normal to dry skin. It absorbs easily and quickly into the skin leaving it smelling amazingly, luxurious and moisturized.
The Body Butter. The original body butter that contains LOADS of Community Fair Trade ingredients. Of course The Body Shop couldn't bring out a new range and not have a body butter. It's €18.95 for a 200ml. If you have tried any of The Body Shop body butters before you'll know how great they are. This particular body butter contains 13 Community Fair Trade ingredients. The most ever put into the one product. It provide's hydration for up to 48 hours and also absorbs quickly into the skin leaving it feeling softer, smoother and luxuriously without the heavy butter feeling. Ive grown up using The Body Shops Body Butter's and think I will always use them. They always been my favorite. I've tired other cheaper brands but they didn't feel as good on my skin.
I didn't get any of the soaps to try or the lip butters. I have tired other Body Shop Lip Butters before and I love them! So I can't wait to get the chocolate one.
They're great for dry, chapped lips as they condition and moisturize.
The range will be out in early February so make sure you get some before it's all gone!
Overall I love this range and can't wait for it to come out and for you all to try it. :)
Chat soon.
Love, love...
