The Body Shop Mini-Haul


I recently took advantage of my The Body Shop 'Love Your Body' membership by using my £25 off all orders over £50 voucher this weekend. It was a perfect excuse to buy a couple of things that I have been meaning to try for a while, and to also sample things that I hadn't heard much about! I only ordered these on Monday night, and they arrived yesterday lunchtime (something which I'm very pleased about). I am absolutely over the moon that I used my voucher, as this order would have normally cost me £51 and I managed to get it for £26. I will now take you through all of my lovely new purchases!

Cocoa Butter Body Butter - £13.00
I'm pretty sure that I've been using this product since the price was in single digits, but even I haven't this has definitely been a staple for me for a very long time! I probably bought my first pot about 7 or 8 years ago, and have been repurchasing it ever since as it works wonders with my dry skin and eczema. I do buy some of the other Body Butters from time to time, especially when they are on sale, but I always return to my old favourite.

White Musk Libertine Eau de Parfum - £13.00
This is one of the products I have been meaning to try for a very long time, at least since before Christmas. My mum bought me the White Musk Body Spray for Christmas many moons ago, and I loved it. However, when I found out that there was a new scent in the White Musk range, I just had to try it. I wore it yesterday, and it has a very pleasant floral and feminine scent, with the musk taking a less major role; definitely something I'm likely to wear again and again!

Green Tea and Lemon Scented Candle - £10.00
I have never tried a Body Shop scented candle before, and to be perfectly honest, I wasn't even really aware that they did candles until very recently (I've always been more of a Yankee Candle girl myself). However, I love fresh and citrus-y scents for candles, especially in the warmer months, so I thought I would give it a whirl! I haven't lighted it yet, but it smells incredible in the pot. Needless to say, I am very much looking forward to my next pamper night.

Elderflower Unperfumed Eye Gel - £7.00
Okay, I'll admit it, this was a complete impulse purchase. I feel like now that I'm in my twenties, I should really start investing in eye creams, so I wanted to start off with something pretty simple. My major problem is puffiness on a morning, and the product is described as being cooling and refreshing, so I figured that it would probably be a sensible product to buy. I'm not sure how this will work out, but watch this space!...

Honeymania Bubble Bath Melt - £8.00
And last but not least, we have probably my most anticipated product on this whole list. I've been a fan of the Honeymania range ever since it was released, and I love the eau de toilette, but I have had my eye on this product for a very long time. However, I have never quite been able to justify spending £8 on bubble bath... until now. I saw this offer as a perfect opportunity to try it out. Although I haven't used it in a bath yet, I have been giving it a cheeky whiff at regular intervals, and it smells absolutely divine. I am most definitely excited about my next bath.

Thank you for giving this a read, I am going to try to give myself a regular schedule to blog to, one post every 4 months just isn't gonna do the trick. I do have some ideas up my sleeves though! Until next time,
