In my last post I spoke about further face washes which are good to use in the evening. Also at the end I asked what you would want to see in my next post and the responses that I had got was for seasonal smells. These are the ones that I have experience with and have items of to show what they look like.
I will first look in to the spring/summer smells as they are the ones which are currently out then look at the Christmas smells from last year. This spring/summer smells are based around well-known cocktails.
The first one I will be looking at is meant to smell like a virgin Mojito, which is a mixture between lime and mint. The lime is the dominant smell with a small complementing smell of mint. In the image there is the body wash, body butter and sorbet of the smell. it is a nice refreshing smell for summer. the body butter and the sorbet will also work well to help deal with any dry skin from the warm weather and help make your body look good for going out in t-shirts and sandals.
The second spring/summer smell is piñita colada. This is a mixture between pineapple and coconut. The main smell is pineapple with a small bit of its citrus from it coming out with a small bit of coconut to add a bit of extra something to it. This one is my second favourite since I am not a big fan of coconut but it is better to judge which you like by going in and smelling them as each to their own. It looks a bit like aerated water that you see sometimes you see from your tap.
The first one I will look at is one of my personal favourites which is spiced apple. I may have gone a bit over board with spiced apple since I have got which is shown in the picture; the body butter, body scrub, body wash, hand cream, lip balm and lip gloss. The body scrub is useful to remove any dead skin on your body and remove any impurities in your skin making it ready to tan in the sunny summer weather (when it comes around and comes out) also help. The hand cream is a very nice smelling hand moisturiser which will help your hands recover from the hard work of each day. The lip balm and lip gloss work very similarly the lip balm moisturises your lips more than the lip gloss which will make your lips more shiny though, both smell good and taste good which is quite unique since most will only give you one or the other.
These are all shown below. One other products I had got was the perfume they did for the 3 main Christmas smells which makes a good gift, there is a small balling in it to disturb a powder that is in it to make it look cloudy and to add a bit of shine to it, it makes a good gift. For the spiced apple collection there was special set which came in a case shaped like a large apple to continue with the them which looks really good and would make a really good gift. Also when I last checked the there was still spiced apple on the body shop website but may run out soon.
The next smell I will be talking about is frosted plum which is more of a soft almost floral which, makes a nice change from the normally more heavy winter fragrances. It was advertised more as a limited edition smell but will hopefully return next winter. The items that I have to show for this bit is the lip balm and the body butter. These are shown in the image below.
The third winter seasonal smell is the only one which does not have fruit in it which is Vanilla Chai. It smells a bit like an everyday scented candle. Out of the smells this is one of my least favourites since of it having more of a waxy smell. The only item I have currently of it is the body butter but I did have the lip balm but gave them to friends since it would help them and I was less likely to use it.
The last seasonal smell is Frosted Berries. This one has a sweeter smell then some of the other smells which makes a nice change since sometimes the fruits have a bit more of a citrus smell plus it is not too heavy for daily use. The body shop lip balms are all very good for your lips with out the normal draw back from flavoured or scented lip balms. It has a very nice fruity smells.
The next post will be about targeted treatment. This will have items which will help deal with breakouts and patches of skin with a lot of acne. Would you all be interested in me doing haul posts from when I go out to restock and see what there is in store? If there is anything you would like me to look in to are elaborate on just comment and I will ether get back to your in the comments or in a post. Please share the blog with anyone you think would find this useful or interesting. The more it gets out there the more I can do to help and share.
