The Body Shop's Cool Cucumber range smells like rain!

It's amazing how The Body Shop has managed to rescue second choice cucumbers that won't sell in supermarkets and turn them into something wonderful, such as this Cool Cucumber range! This was released last year and is limited edition. 🥒

 

The scent profile of the The Body Shop Cool Cucumber range is green - almost like petrichor, the scent when rain falls on dry soil. It's beautifully fresh, and the shower gel's menthol content feels divine on the skin on hot and humid days. I love this me-time ritual which relaxes me after work.💚

 

Love,

Helen

Review: The Body Shop Almond Milk Body Yogurt & Hand Cream

I have so much love for The Body Shop's Almond Milk range! 💛

The Body Shop Almond Milk & Honey Calming & Protecting Hand Cream (PHP 295) is my WFH deskside beauty essential. I wash my hands too often and this keeps dryness at bay. This one absorbs quickly and leaves no greasy feel. This hand cream is made with organic almond milk and Community Trade honey.

 

The Body Shop Almond Milk Body Yogurt (PHP 795) is perfect for our hot weather. I've been a fan of The Body Shop's Body Butters for years, but the Body Yogurt feels great on my skin even during warm summer nights. I thought it won't be moisturizing enough for my dry heels, but consistency is key and my skin feels balanced and is healed from dryness with long term use. The sweet, nutty scent is also so comforting. I'm already finished with my tub, and I'm currently using the Limited Edition Cool Cucumber Body Yogurt, which gives me super good vibes every time I use it. (That one deserves a separate blog post!)

Love,

Helen

Review: The Body Shop Vitamin E Refreshing Eyes Cube

As I have oily skin, I can't deal with heavy creams for skincare products. My go-to eye creams are hardly ever "creams"; I prefer serum or eye roll-ons because of their light texture.

 

The Body Shop Vitamin E Eyes Cube is an anti-fatigue eye stick with mild, cooling sensation. It reminds me of Tony Moly Fresh Aqua Cooling 24 Eyes Stick, which I think is already discontinued.

 

 

What I love about it:

❄️ Formulated with vitamin E and wheatgerm oil

❄️ Feels light and refreshing on the delicate eye area

❄️ Moisturizing

❄️ Doesn't sting

❄️ Not sticky

❄️ Ideal for travel as it's spill-proof

 

Price: PHP 795

Available in thebodyshop.com.ph

The backdrop features my weekend DIY project, a girly mask lanyard using some pink pearls I found at home. It's heavy, but it serves its purpose!

 

Love,

Helen

Review: The Body Shop Banana Hair Mask

My weekend pampering session is made complete with The Body Shop Banana Hair Mask. 🍌 This is like revisiting an old love as I reviewed the The Body Shop Banana Conditioner way back in 2012.

 

Leave this on your hair for 5 minutes, once a week.

What I love about it:

💛 Made with Community Trade ingredients: banana puree from Ecuador, Brazil nut oil, Brazilian capuacu butter, shea butter, and cocoa butter

💛 Smells sooo good & the fruity scent lingers on your hair

💛 Makes my hair softer

💛 Great for normal to dry hair

💛 100% vegan

💛 Forever against animal testing

 

Price: PHP 895

Available online (at www.thebodyshop.com.ph, Shopee, and Lazada) and in store

Unboxing: The Body Shop "Lucky Bag"

Last Christmas, I was one of the winners of The Body Shop's 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway and this HUGE goodie bag arrived last Friday. I didn't know what I was going to get as the prizes were blind bags - with over P10,000 worth of products inside! SO EXCITING!

 

 

Exactly 10 years ago, I also won the grand prize from their giveaway, which I blogged about here! My first beauty reviews here on the blog were about The Body Shop's Body Scrub and Body Butter in Mango. There were so much memories as I backread my old blog posts, and what I said before still holds true. I've been a fan and long-time customer of the brand for around 17 years now.

 

Still a Love Your Body Club member, of course!

 

Here are the prizes in my surprise bag:

 

Full-sized skincare:

Tea Tree Skin Clearing Facial Wash

Himalayan Charcoal Purifying Glow Mask

Nicaraguan Coffee Intense Awakening Mask

Vitamin E Refreshing Eyes Cube 

 

I blogged about the launch of these superfood masks way back 2016. Nicaraguan Coffee Intense Awakening Mask is new to me and it quickly became a favorite at first sniff. THIS will definitely wake you up with its wonderful coffee aroma! The Tea Tree Skin Clearing Facial Wash is for M. He loves The Body Shop's Tea Tree range. 😉

Fruity faves:

Rise & Shine Shower Gel Quad

Strawberry Lip Butter

Smoothing Hand Cream Trio

Fuji Green Tea Exfoliating Body Scrub

Banana Truly Nourishing Hair Mask

Soothing Almond Milk & Honey Delights Bag

 

I adore these body care products! My youngest sister loves the Shea range and it's her birth month so she gets the mini shower gel and hand cream. (Instant birthday gift! HEHE 😁) As for me, I'll be enjoying Strawberry and other fruity goodies. So excited to take a bath!

Fragrance & makeup:

White Musk Smoky Rose Fragrance Mist

Matte Clay Concealer

Brow Sculpt 3-in-1 Contouring Brow Pen

White Musk Smoky Rose is such a unique scent. Younger me won't appreciate it as it's quite strong, but I like it now. Lasting power is excellent too, as it lasted through the night - to think the formula is just a mist. I'll be using this for a longer time to give a more detailed review. I got concealer and brow makeup too, both very useful as they can be used even when I'm wearing a mask.

The selection in my surprise bag was perfect, The Body Shop! I appreciate them and they're all useful. Thank you very much for the LOVE! 💋

Love,

Helen
