Although Body Shop products are reasonably expensive I just love their smell and packaging. As soon as I walk into one of their stores I immediately smell the air and it smells gorgeous! I recently bought some products in their sale and I cannot wait to use them!<br /><p align="center"><a href="http://www.thebodyshop.co.uk/images/product/large/67048m_l.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 133px; HEIGHT: 168px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.thebodyshop.co.uk/images/product/large/67048m_l.jpg" /></a> </p><p align="left">For a while now I have liked the look of <em>Skin Primer 02 Matte It, </em>when I last went into The Body Shop I took a swatch and the texture is very matte and lasted on my hand for ages. I recently had a £5 off voucher, but used it for a friend (I'm such a good person :P) and if I go shopping in the near future and don't end up buying much, I will definitely get this! Finding a good primer is very important, and my last primer (which was No7) was absolutely awful, so I really long to find an amazing one, and this might just be it! Pretty pricey at £11, but I hope it's worth it!</p><p align="center"><a href="http://www.thebodyshop.co.uk/images/product/large/84130m_l.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 201px; HEIGHT: 174px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.thebodyshop.co.uk/images/product/large/84130m_l.jpg" /></a></p><p align="left">It is just me, or do these <em>Baked-Eye-Colours</em> look amazing! I love the fact that they come in a variety of colours and have two sections to give different looks. My favorites are <em>Copper, Jade </em>and <em>quartz.</em> The price is a 'lil steep at £10, but if they are good quality does it really matter?!</p><p align="center"><a href="http://www.thebodyshop.co.uk/images/product/large/84178m_l.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 163px; HEIGHT: 162px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.thebodyshop.co.uk/images/product/large/84178m_l.jpg" /></a></p><p align="left">The Body Shop's <em>Delipscious Sheer Lip Colour </em>looks like it will either be an amazing colour, or the kind of sheer colour that barely shows up. Either way, I plan to find out buy either buying <em>Sheer Lychee, Sheer Watermelon </em>or <em>Sheer Pomegranate, </em>the last of which looks like it will be an intense red, but I'm guessing it will show up on the lips as a slight cherry tint. Each lipstick is £9.50 each.</p><p align="left">Overall I found that The Body Shop's skincare products have really good results and smell drool-worthy, but I have yet to test their makeup. Here's hoping I will soon :)</p><p align="left">Hope you're having an amazing New Year so far!</p><p align="left">Alex x</p><br /><br /><p align="left"></p>Alexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06469008239680854837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101669903856119580.post-14624565731937395432011-01-05T18:28:00.001+00:002011-01-05T19:18:22.522+00:00Benefit Sale LustSince the January sales are on and every shop under the sun is having one, I thought I'd check out Benefit's online sale of reductions of up to 50%!<br /><a href="http://www.benefitcosmetics.co.uk/">www.benefitcosmetics.co.uk</a> <div></div><br />I love Benefit's packaging! It's so p<a href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/P/B000P229UM.02-A1LEBAUQPWKDU2._AA265_PE35_OU02_SCLZZZZZZZ_V233932667_.jpg"></a>retty, if only the products were cheaper...sigh...<br /><p align="center"><a href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41JNzQFB-bL._SS265_.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 148px; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41JNzQFB-bL._SS265_.jpg" /></a><br /></p><p align="left">I love this shade of the <em>silky powder eye shadow</em> in<em> shallow. </em>It looks like a great base shade and the sort of eye shadow that would go with whatever you're wearing. Other shades of this eye shadow included in the sale are: <em>bossy</em>, <em>fishnets</em>, <em>get away</em> and <em>soft shoulder</em> (all great names by the way!), but<em> shallow</em> really caught my attention because of its bright coral colour. £12.50 to... £8.25!</p><p align="center"><a href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/P/B000P229UM.02-A1LEBAUQPWKDU2._AA265_PE35_OU02_SCLZZZZZZZ_V233932667_.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 139px; HEIGHT: 188px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/P/B000P229UM.02-A1LEBAUQPWKDU2._AA265_PE35_OU02_SCLZZZZZZZ_V233932667_.jpg" /></a></p><p align="left">I've heard great things about Benefit's lipsticks and this is a shade I definitely want to own: <em>silky finish lipstick </em>in <em>ginger snap. </em>It's a cream lipstick, which should mean it's long lasting and the colour is just divine, I can see it working for day or night. £14 to... £9.20!</p><p align="left">To be quite honest even with the sale, these products are still too expensive for my price range... nevermind, a girl can dream. :)<br /><br />Alex x<br /></p><p align="left"></p>Alexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06469008239680854837noreply@blogger.com0
