Review: The Body Shop | Spa of the World Egyptian Milk & Honey Bath
Review: The Body Shop | Spa of the World Egyptian Milk & Honey Bath
Thursday, 17 September 2015
So this is the Egyptian Milk & Honey Bath from their Spa of the World range and being a fan of baths, I wanted to try this out, as I want to start varying the products that I use, just to mix it up a bit. When I first picked it up, it reminded me of a little bag of gold coins. I wanted to smell it, just to see if it would be the same as I imagined and I instantly fell in love.
As the bath was running, there I was trying to open it, untangling it and snipping open a corner, enough to fit the scoop in. It said to use five scoops but the assistant in the shop recommended that I use two instead, so I took her advise and scooped up two lots of the milk and honey powder, even though it smelt more like milk with a sweet scent.
After thoroughly enjoying my bath, my skin did feel smooth. I felt quite relaxed but I think the next time I have a bath, I would probably put more of the product in just because I felt that I could have got a lot more out of using this the first time. At £14, it seems a lot for what it is but it's the cheapest in the range, with the creams and scrubs being over £20, so I kind of feel that I want try and make it last as long as possible. I will just add an additional scoop next time and see if that makes any difference. If I could, I would probably easily use it all in one go, but that would mean £14 goes down the drain (literally) on the first and last use.
I would buy this again and would recommend it to my fellow friends/bath-lovers. Have you tried it? What did you think?

Review: The Body Shop | Fuji Green Tea Bath Tea
Review: The Body Shop | Fuji Green Tea Bath Tea
Saturday, 23 May 2015
I find that I don't treat myself often enough when it comes to bath products. Primarily because I'm more of a shower person but I'm quite fussy in what I use, mainly in terms of smell. Normally, I go for the bubbles but wanted to change it up a bit.
I wondered in to the Body Shop after hearing that they released a new product called bath tea, where you can place green tea leaves into a infuser (which needs to be purchased separately for £5) and you pop it in the bath for the leaves to brew. It is literally like making a massive cup of tea :D
I did find it a bit difficult in opening up the infuser and really had to use some force, worrying that I was going to bust it. After I checked how it does open, I don't have any problems in doing so.
After letting the bath fill up, the bathroom did smell so amazing but felt like I could have smelt a lot more powerful, which may be because I didn't put enough in the infuser. It did make a nice change to not have bubbles lurking near my mouth and nostrils and being able to enjoy a nice, simple relaxing bath.
For £12, it's not bad at all. It's a really pleasant smell and if you are generous enough, it can last for quite a while I'd say.

February Favourites 2015
February Favourites 2015
Wednesday, 4 March 2015
I cannot believe that February has already ended. It went by far too quickly for my liking but what that means is, is that I can share with you my favourite products that I used during the course of the month. Let's get started.
Benefit Cosmetics | Roller Lash Mascara
Earlier in the month, I heard that Benefit were going to be bringing out a new mascara called Roller Lash (I love what they call their products). I was thinking about buying it as I've heard good things on their other mascaras but, the best thing happened! After browsing on my social media, I saw that there was a free sample of the Roller Lash mascara with Elle Magazine and from that moment on, I decided I would have to wonder to a shop to pick a copy up.
As soon as I got home, I opened all the packaging and there in my hand, was the cutest little mascara ever. I proceeded to cover my eyelashes and I was quickly impressed with the results, with the thought to myself that this is going to be something I'm going to pick up once I've finished the sample. I already have fairly long lashes anyway, but Roller Lash just helps add curl and volume and makes my eyes stand out.
I even recommended this to one of my friends and even she said it's a lovely product to use and would recommend it to any of her friends.
Lush Cosmetics | Prince Charming Shower Gel
As February is the proud owner of Valentine's Day, Lush released all their Valentine's Day products, which included the Prince Charming shower gel. After smelling it in the shop, I was in heaven, so in the basket it went, at a very fast pace. I only got the smallest size because it only seems to be me who uses them and they do go a long way. However, I actually found out that my boyfriend was sneakily using it when he'd shower. I thought I was going mad, thinking I was using more than I thought when in actual fact, he wanted to smell like marshmallows and pomegranate juice. But he also said that it doesn't irritate his skin, which is a plus! Might have to get him some of his own Lush products.
To be fair to him, the ingredients of this shower gel work together so well, and makes the bathroom smell amazing. Seeing as it was a favourite for not only me, but my boyfriend, I took the plunge and got a bigger bottle. I worried as it was after Valentine's Day when I wanted to get one, thinking they wouldn't have any left but I was in luck. Hopefully we can make it last a while, but I will definitely pick this up next year if they bring it out again.
The Body Shop | Moringa Eau De Toilette
I got this little gem as part of a gift set that I got for Christmas and although I didn't really use it to start with, I've taken a real shine to it this month. I've found that you don't have to spray too much on yourself to make it noticeable as it's quite strong and because of it's diddy size, it can easily be put into a small bag so you can take it with you on a night out, or even a meal out with friends. This is the first Body Shop fragrance that I own and would be keen to take a trip to Body Shop to check out what else they have.
Soap & Glory | Hand Maid Hand Cleansing Gel
Now, this is something else! I seem to be a bit late on the band wagon with this, but better late than never. My friend recommended this to me a while back, but didn't buy it until recently and I'm super glad I did. As you can see, I've used pretty much all of the bottle so I wish they could make a bigger version, or even make it into a hand wash! YES! I'm onto something. It smells so fruity and fresh and keeps my hands feeling clean. I have this sat on my desk at work but it can easily pop in your bag, but I'd be cautious incase it leaks and you don't want the contents being all sticky, although, it would smell nice though! Overall, I would recommend this to anyone and would happily purchase it again.
Twinings | Cherry Bakewell Green Tea
I've been a lover of green tea for a while now and I'm not afraid at trying new flavours. During the month, I saw that Twinings bought out a new flavour called Cherry Bakewell and OH MY GOSH, this tea is AMAZING! My love for cherry bakewells has just gone up to a new level. It tastes like it smells and I enjoy drinking this at home and work, as it keeps me away from carbonated, sweet drinks. I've only had one favourite prior to this, but this will be joining the leader of the pack.
And there you have it! Those were my February favourites. What have you been loving? Was there anything that we both liked? What's been your experiences on my picks?
