I don't know why but The Body Shop was one of those brand I was very sceptical about. .
But I remember trying the almond hand cream and finding myself smell my hands every 10 seconds!
So I decide to go over my apprehensions and give the body shop a chance!
And well, you can see the result!
I felt in love with some of their products.
P.s: The body Shop is cruelty free and have a lot of vegan product, but the parent company is l'Oreal (not CF)
Skin Primer Matte it:
This is my favourite primer of all primer I ever tested. It smooth everything, mattifies my skin, my foundation does not flip on it. And I feel like any foundation will look way better with this primer underneath.
+ It's vegan, it does not smell anything, texture
- Don't find any minus point
= Try it!
Oil Free Foundation :
This is actually the first product I ever bought by the body shop.
+ oil free, great coverage, SPF 15
- hard to apply, oxidized 1 shade darker (on me)
= I would say it's good if you have oily skin and a good practice
Tee Tree BB Cream
I put a lot of hope in this product, I saw and read a lot of great review on it, but I have to admit that I'm a little disappointed. It's not a bad product at all, I just feel like it's not the best product for my skin.
It's probably more suited for summer, and will be great for very oily skin. If you have dry patches...it's gonna be a mess!
+ It's vegan, it has tee tree oil in it (the smell does not last), cute packaging
- Hard to apply, light coverage, not for the winter
= Good for oily skin but I found it not good at covering my scars. I'll try it again in the summer, when I want something super light coverage
Edit - I tried it with a beauty blender, and think it's the best way to apply it!
Vitamin E eye cream
Nothing to say about this product. I probably didn't use this long enough to have an opinion on it. I like that their is Vitamin E in it, but doesn't not see any progress on my under eyes since I use it.
Aloe lip treatment:
I heard about this on the Essie Button's channel. My lips are probably one of my biggest trouble, If I forgot to take my lip stick with me, I will have to buy a new one. That's how dry are my lips. The texture is simillar to lip glosses, but it's not sticky, and it actually prevents me to lick my lips.
+ the texture / the hydration
- the smell
Body lotion and body butter:
Those are my favourite body products. The body butter is perfect for the winter or for the dryer part of your body. The body lotion is perfect for any time, it dries really fast.
+ The smell, hydration, packaging, dry fast
- The smell
RECAP:
To finish, the body shop has a great selection of product, I fell like everyone can find something that suit him. I bought a lot of stuff that I share with my boyfriend and even with my dad.
They have more and more vegan products. But we (well I ) regret that their parent company is not CF They also have very good hand cream (try the hemp hand protector!).
Now I really want to try the Honey Bronze Bronzing Powder and some products of the Tee tree oil line.
Please let me know your favourite of the body shop, what is worth to try!?
