Body Shop Haul!

I ordered from the body shop as they were having an amazing sale! I think these are all sale items and I would seriously recommend jumping on it now as the sale will be over soon and things will be sold out. I don't have the exact prices (lost the order slip... grrr) but I know the whole thing came to £20.50 including shipping! £20.50! That is an amazing deal. So anyway, onto the purchases. Everything came packaged perfectly well. Not exactly as I depicted because I have already tried most of the things. I'm sorry I couldn't help myself!  

 Everything was packaged inside body shop bags except for the body butter, ironic as that is the exact opposite of the following photos - sorry about that. 

 Okay, first three things. Also, it seems like everything is very christmassy but they are very much universal scents - especially the Cranberry Joy. It is sweet and refreshing and fruity - really nice and I can even imagine using this in the summer months with no problem. I purchased the Cranberry Joy shower gel which I really enjoyed using. I also got the body polish of the same scent. I have tried the Body Shop body scrubs before but never the polishes so went for the latter this time. It is particles suspended in a latherable gel not dissimilar from the shower gel consistency - just a bit thicker. I didn't give this a proper go in the shower but I really look forward to using it before I shave etc. The 'bath lily' as the body shop call it was a special Christmas colour and on sale for £1. I needed a new one and the Body Shop ones are amazing and lathering so much more than any other I have ever tried. I also love the colour. 

 

 Second lot: Ginger sparkle body butter and hand cream first. Oh my does this stuff smell good. Do not be deceived - no sparkles in them that is just the slightly misleading name. I love TBS (can we call The Body Shop that from now on) body butters. Some people may find them greasy but I don't think they are at all - they really sink in to the skin and make it feel noticeably less dry in the long run - actual moisturisation here, no mineral oil. Some of the TBS body butters have a thicker consistency (ex. the shea, coconut, cocoa butter) and some have a thinner one (grapefruit, strawberry, mango). I see the Ginger Sparkle as very much in between the two and I really like that. It smells DIVINE. Fresh in the tub and when it first goes on but then it turns into this amazing warm ginger scent that is absolutely amazing. Same can be said for the hand cream. Amazing scent from TBS and a bit upset it is only seasonal. The hand cream is thicker than I expected but nothing greasy here either. Love it. Finally I got  one of the beautifying oils. I have been wanting one of these for a while and when I saw the brazil nut on for half price I knew I had to try it. Haven't used this yet but it smells divine and sweet. Love it! 

Very happy with my purchases and hopefully there are still some of the things available. Check TBS website to be sure. Did you purchase anything from the sale, if so what? Would love to know!
